As an avid gardener, she offers this poem with a few pointers about how to get the best out of your plants. (Saugus Advocate file photo by Mark E. Vogler) By Joanie Allbee It’s just a small place I know That hosts a grand summer show Pots of all sizes, varies and make Nature in all forms variety and takes. Tomatoes and peppers so tasty and good, secrets to share? I think I should. Milk fed tomatoes and egg shells too Very good for healthy roses, who knew! Peppers with a variety of ash and matches stuck in the soil, Clipping and nipping the usual garden toil. But did you know to put up a red cloth or foil? The color tricks the tomato into thinking next door the grass is greener, so the tomato doesn’t want to be the leaner. Flowers so pretty a colorful array and hue Lime soda, ammonia and some baking soda too. It’s a must to prune a plant or tree So the energy can concentrate on the fruits you see. If a plant is going to seed, nip it off so the energy will feed the plant in need. Be diligent in pulling up all the weed. Cut any broken debris indeed, For the ethylene gas releases will cause plants to rot and bacteria to breed. Always be diligent and quick to heed how the plant is responding and from within the seed will lead. (Editor’s Note: Joanie Allbee is an avid gardener, a poet, a nature lover and occasional contributor to The Saugus Advocate. This poem is from her book, “Tapestry.”) T he United States Senate unanimously passed a five-week extension of the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) Tuesday night, June 30, 2020. The program was scheduled to close as of midnight on June 30th. The House of Representatives and the President still need to sign off on the extension. They are expected to act swiftly as well. This extension is intended to provide small businesses with additional time to apply for a forgivable loan under the PPP. There is still $129 billion left in PPP funding. The United States Small Business Administration (SBA), which oversees the program on behalf of the Treasury Department, ceased accepting applications as of midnight on Tuesday, June 30th. The plan approved by the United States Senate extends the deadline for applying until August 8, 2020. Senator Marco Rubio did had approved approximately $4.9 million loans amounting to more than $520 billion. Congress designed the PPP loans in order to support businesses and other organizations facing economic hardships created by the coronavirus pandemic and assist them in continuing to pay employee salaries. PPP loan recipients can have their loans forgiven in full if the monies were used for eligible expenses and if other criteria are met. The amount of loan forgiveness may be reduced based upon the percentage of eligible costs attributed to non-payroll costs, any decrease in employee headcount, and decreases in salaries or wages per employee. Revised forms and instructions are available on the SBA website. The new EZ form can be used by many businesses in order to apply for forgiveness. It is significantly easier to complete than the first application the SBA had come out with. Joseph D.
