    Text by Lorraine Kiefer | Published August 1st, 2009 in Garden Talk • Gardening

    Whether you garden in a pot or a plot, it is time to take notice and give the plants one last feeding if you do not already have time-release fertilizer on the plants. Clip or deadhead blooming plants so they will continue to flower. Trim back vegetables if they need it and plant some fall crops.

  5. Time for Variety

    Text by Stephen Spagnuola | Published August 1st, 2009 in Fishing • Off the Hook

    August – the month when summer is at its peak. This is none the less true for fishing in Cape May. The month of August brings forth the largest variety of fish species caused by the large numbers of bait fish both inshore and off shore….and as they say “the big fish eats the little fish.” August is a great time for tournament fishing as well, boasting one of the largest and richest tournaments in the world – the Mid-Atlantic $500,000 (MA-500).

  6. Blame it on Mother Nature

    Text by Susan Tischler | Published August 1st, 2009 in Environmental

    Cove beachgoers will have to check the tide charts and make sure their bathing is at low tide until Mother Nature decides to shine down on the little strip of beach at the end of Cape May.

  7. A Half-Baked Idea

    Text by Jon Davies | Published August 1st, 2009 in Recipes • The Persnickety Chef

    There are two distinct clans in the culinary world. Hot foods chefs and baking/pastry chefs. Not exactly the Hatfields and McCoys. Nevertheless, there is a distinct line of demarcation between the two groups. They work differently and think about food differently. Both groups are creative to be sure, but how that creativity is expressed is very different. Hot foods chefs are jazz musicians they take basic themes and throw a little improvisation and solos in the mix. Each hot foods chef lends his/her own distinct licks to a basic repertoire.

  8. Island Surfing

    Text by Bill Godfrey | Published August 1st, 2009 in Beaches • Outdoors/Water

    Trying to describe the impact of surfing on Cape May is like trying to describe the impact of baseball on America – it’s an incredibly broad topic. Many locals have built their lives around surfing, embracing careers that allow them the luxury of ditching work whenever the surf is pumping. For some, surfing defines their lives, chooses their friends for them and shapes the way they see the world. For others it’s a later-in-life hobby that’s now a passion. Anyway you look at it, surfing, even in Cape May, is nothing short of a religion for its most ardent followers.
