English Ground Beef Pasties In lieu of corned beef this year, try this spin on authentic English pasties — savory pockets of pastry dough stuffed with seasoned ground beef. First, it’s important to understand what you can receive compensation for. In the state of Florida, accident victims are entitled to receive compensation for three different types of damages: economic, noneconomic, and punitive. To increase your compensation for these damages, follow these three steps: 1. Gather and preserve evidence. Courts will base their decision and compensation on the concrete evidence you present of the accident. If you were involved in a car accident, the most persuasive pieces of evidence you can provide are photos and videos of the accident scene. This will give the court a clear picture of what happened and increase your chances of being properly compensated. MAXIMIZE YOUR PERSONAL INJURY SETTLEMENT With These 3 Steps If you’ve been the victim of an accident and have initiated a personal injury case, you’re likely wondering what compensation you’re entitled to and how to maximize it. Victims suffer a lot and deserve fair compensation so they can recover both physically and financially.

Do Something Better in the Garden 3 WAYS TO IMPROVE YOUR HARVEST

There’s something beautiful about cultivating your own harvest, but you can grow more than simple backyard vegetables. Help your garden “grow up” by trying something unique this spring. Grow Fun Foods

We plant gardens for a purpose, so why not make it fun! Plant fresh basil, tomatoes, onions, peppers, oregano, and more to create a garden worthy of your next homemade pizza. All you

will need to buy is the crust! Pumpkin plants can offer fresh gourds for any Halloween fanatic, while new species of fruits and vegetables can create an exciting home- cooking experience. Try the silver cucumber for a sweet taste or pineberries for a mix between strawberries and pineapples. You just might find a new flavor you love. Go With the Flow Creating a year-round garden that practically takes care of itself means using principles of permaculture, a philosophy of working with, rather than against, nature. Start by analyzing your space and yard. Determine your soil type and layer mulch or cover crops to protect it. Then, begin planting the same way that’s found in nature — trees grow at the top, shrubs and bushes are below, and other small plants and vines intermingle within. Choose crops that help each other grow (like corn, beans, and squash), and offer aid to your garden without digging up too much soil or disturbing its natural process. Permaculture gardening requires thoughtful planning, but once your crops are in place, nature will take its course. Plant for Your Health Mass production of your favorite fruits and vegetables reduces their key nutrients. Instead, choose fresh, home-grown varieties to yield greater health benefits. This is good news for those living with heart disease, joint disorders, or other chronic conditions. You can grow a garden chock full of nutrient-rich foods! Colorful fruits, root veggies, onions, and beans are great for joint health, while leafy greens can boost heart health. Grow pumpkins so you can harvest the seeds for better brain function, while berries can support your liver.

Before you dig into these new gardening methods, consult with an expert at a nursery or greenhouse to get the best possible results.
