We spend thousands of dollars on our lawns, and hundreds of hours of work to make them beautiful, but sometimes there just is no protection against a common lawn fungus, and it can take months to bring our lawns back from an attack. So be proactive; mow and water regularly, and learn to recognize the signs of a fungal attack so that applications of a fungicide can save your lawn and help your wallet.

Gardening can be a great form of healthful exercise. Depending on the intensity of your garden work, you can get quite a good workout. All that bending, stretching and lifting will keep your body limber and muscles toned. But when done incorrectly it can lead to injury.

Do your potato and tomato plants have shallow brownish or purplish lesions on their surfaces? If they do, you might have late blight disease. Due to wet and humid growing conditions, most gardeners in the northeast and mid-atlantic regions are within 40 miles of an infected late blight crop this year. On the surface of a tomato or potato itself, you'll see a reddish-brown, dry, granular rot that extends up to half an inch into the flesh when you cut across the surface of the infected area--if this is present, your garden is infected with late blight.

Summer is perfect for grilling! This quick marinade makes flavorful, juicy chicken ready for the grill in less than 30 minutes. Serve with homemade potato salad and grilled vegetables for a great summmertime dinner in less than an hour.

- 1 Tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 1/2 Tablespoons chili powder
- 1 1/3 Tablespoon sweet paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 Tablespoon crushed coriander seed
- 1 3/4 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper or 1/3 teaspoon crushed black peppercorns
- 3 teapoons liquid smoke
- 1/3 cup olive or peanut oil
- 6 chicken breast pieces with ribs
- zipper-style plastic bag, one gallon sized

- Add 3 teapoons liquid smoke to spice mixture and drizzle with olive or peanut oil. Knead mixture through plastic until thoroughly mixed, about 2 minutes.
- Remove chicken from refrigerator and rinse under cold water, patting dry with paper towels.If chicken breasts are large, cut in half with chef's knife or butcher knife so that pieces are uniform

- Turn off one burner and transfer seared chicken to this side of grill, cooking over indirect heat and turning often, about 18-20 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165 F.
