Quick Tips

Find a Local Vietnam Veterans Day Event

One good way to celebrate National Vietnam War Veterans Day is to find an observance led by #veterans in your area. #Vietnam Veterans of America and other groups will host solemn events at memorials nationwide to recognize #service and #sacrifice. In Walla Walla, Washington, for example, veterans and friends will meet at the local memorial for coffee, donuts and Vietnam War-era music, as well as a small display of classic cars. Google “National Vietnam Veterans Day events near me” to find an observance in your area and #support your local veterans. #NationalVietnamVeteransDay

Commemorating the Vietnam War and Its Service Members

National Vietnam War Veterans Day is March 29 — an excellent time to thank and honor #Vietnam #veterans and their families for their #service and #sacrifice, as well as recognize former prisoners of war and families of those still listed as missing in action. Additional objectives of the nation’s 50th anniversary commemoration of the Vietnam War focus on the wartime service of the armed forces and support organizations; paying tribute to wartime contributions at home by American citizens; highlighting technology, scientific and medical advances made during the war; and recognizing the contributions of U.S. allies. #NationalVietnamVeteransDay

Grow Seeds in Just About Any Container

If you choose to start seeds for your garden, use a seed-starting kit with multiple cells for seedlings and add a grow light and/or heat mat for a technical assist. Or you can start seeds in “practically anything,” says HGTV. Use newspaper pots, disused seed trays, cardboard tubes, used cans and jugs, egg cartons or eggshells as containers. Just remember to label your pots or rows so you know what’s growing. Give seeds warmth, wetness and indirect sunlight Once the seedlings poke through the soil, move them to a sunny window ledge or greenhouse environment to mature into transplantable starters. #StartingSeeds

Start Some Easy-to-Grow Seedlings

If this is your first year starting plants from seed, start small, Gardeners.com says. Easy-to-start vegetables include herbs, tomatoes, cucumbers, broccoli and leafy greens such as spinach, kale and lettuce; easy flowering plants include cosmos, zinnias, marigolds and sunflowers. Fussier seeds require a temperature change to trigger the end of dormancy and germinate; the good news is that many of these are perennials that will return year after year in your garden. Whatever you choose, be sure that soil and air temperatures don’t ruin your carefully cultivated seedlings; schedule transplant according to the final frost date in your area. #StartingSeeds
