New CU Boulder research published in the journal Lancet Planetary Health reveals that adding gardening to our lists of goals for 2023 could have a significant effect.
The first-ever randomised, controlled trial of community gardening, funded by the American Cancer Society, revealed that individuals who started gardening ate more fibre and received more exercise — two recognised strategies to lower the risk of cancer and chronic diseases. They also noticed a notable decline in their stress and anxiety levels.<…….
RIDGEFIELD, CT — It’s cold, and the ground is frozen, but that doesn’t excuse Ridgefield homeowners from performing some important garden maintenance this month, according to one local expert.
Lisa Chuma, a member of The Ridgefield Garden Club, says gardeners should take the month of January to reflect upon Gardens Past and act accordingly.
“Just think about what worked, what you liked, what you didn’t like, or what you saw in someone else’s garden that you liked, and plan to make changes to your own garden,” Chuma said.

Suncor
Suncor trades near $40 per share at the time of writing compared to $53 last June. The pullback has occurred amid a plunge in oil prices from the 2022 highs. West Texas Intermediate oil currently trades near US$74 per barrel compared t…….

The hot new thing in the moribund housing market is called a mortgage buydown — it’s one of the concessions home sellers are increasingly offering buyers to seal a deal.
Why it matters: Though they’ve been around a while, buydowns seem a tailor-made solution for the current real estate market’s biggest problem: High mortgage rates hovering around 6% have turned off buyers.
How it works: Sellers, homebuilders or even lenders pay cash to lower the buyer’s mortgage rate by typically one to three points.
Where does that cash go? It sits…….
Mortgage rates are still twice what they were a year ago, but home prices have been falling since June, and that’s finally making consumers feel better about what had been an overheated, highly competitive housing market.
A monthly housing sentiment index from Fannie Mae showed sentiment improving from November to December. The index is still lower than it was a year ago and just slightly off its record low set in October and November.
