Don't like weeds? Plant flowers

Seven Mile Road. The beaches are full of awful weeds, from the beach going south. Whose idea was it to look at weeds instead of the beautiful water?” Tom in Clyde Township: “To the horseback riders who let your animals go to the bathroom on the Wadhams Trail, shame on you. If you’re going to use the trail, be a responsible owner and at least take a shovel with you to move your animal’s waste over to the side. I counted seven huge messes between Wadhams and McLean Road. This is a residential area with many walkers, strollers and bikers using this trail. It is quite disgusting seeing this, and smelling this as you try to enjoy the trail. So get your act together, get off your horse, clean up after your animal if you’re going to use the trail, or don’t use it.” Bears “went to the bathroom” on the trail I ran last week. It was exciting. Rose in Port Huron: “Michael, you should have directed John from Croswell to call the Humane Society about the dogs instead of giving the answer you did. I don’t understand how people let kids and animals stay out in the heat or cold after all the talk about it.” No Name: “The City Council was talking about the city with the motor homes. There are people living in a motor home on Bancroft in the 1700 block. There is a black motor home with people living in it. Is that allowed?” Port Huron Resident: “I just wanted to know why they didn’t have a Ferris wheel or merry-go-round at the carnival. And there were no elephant ears at the carnival.” No elephant ears? That’s not a carnival. The carnival company brought that sky needle ride instead of a Ferris wheel. https://www.thetimesherald.com/story/opinion/readers/talk-back/2018/07/16/like-weeds-plant-flowers/36900685/

BARRY LEVINE: Songs of love to go with the candy and flowers - The Albany Herald

The song was featured in Presley’s 1961 film “Blue Hawaii” and was No. 1 for six weeks during that year. “Can’t Help Falling in Love” was one of Presley’s 18 No. 1 hits.2 – “A Lover’s Question” by Clyde McPhatter. Brook Benton and Jimmy T. Williams wrote the 1958 pop/R&B hit that climbed to No. 6 on the charts. McPhatter began his career with Billy Ward & The Dominoes in 1950, but left the group to form The Drifters in 1953. He departed The Drifters in 1954 to begin a solo career. “A Lover’s Question” was his only Top 10 hit.3 – “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feeling” by the Righteous Brothers. The song, which was written by Phil Spector, Barry Mann and Cynthia Wall, topped the charts in 1965 and was the year’s fifth-best selling song. “Rolling Stone” magazine ranked “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feeling” as No. 34 on the list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. This was the Righteous Brothers’ only No. 1 hit.4 – “So Much in Love” by The Tymes. This 1963 smash was the quintet’s only No. 1 hit. They had one other Top 10 hit later in the year with a remake of Johnny Mathis’ “Wonderful, Wonderful.”5 – “Will You Love Me Tomorrow?” by The Shirelles. Gerry Goffin and Carole King wrote the song for The Shirelles, who took the tune to No. 1 in 1960. The song is important because it is the first by an all-girl group to reach the top of the charts. The quartet had one other No. 1 hit with “Soldier Boy” in 1961. They also had several other Top 10 hits.6 – “A World Without Love” by Peter & Gordon. Penned by Beatle Paul McCartney for the British duo, it hit No. 1 in 1964 and was the duo’s first release. Peter was Peter Asher, brother of McCartney’s girlfriend, Jane Asher. McCartney gave the song to Peter and Gordon because he didn’t think it was suitable for The Beatles.7 – “Young Love” by Sonny James. The country singer’s version charted in 1957 and eventually climbed to No. 1. It was No. 1 on the country charts for nine weeks, and remained the longest-reigning of James’ 23 chart-topping songs. It was ranked as the No. 8 song for 1957.8 – “Love Letters in the Sand” by Pat Boone. The song was written in 1931 by J. Fred Coots, Nick Kenny and Charles Kenny, but it did not become a major hit until the summer of 1957. Boone’s version was No. 1 for five weeks and was the No. 2 song of the year. It was the fourth of hi... http://www.albanyherald.com/news/local/barry-levine-songs-of-love-to-go-with-the-candy/article_d63a298b-fffb-5bb1-b3b5-787665d0b187.html

Growth in gardening: August birth flowers - San Marcos Daily Record

Gladiolus byzantinus, sometimes known as cornflags, mark many old home sites and cemetery plots in Texas and the south. Their magenta and rarely-white flower spikes are smaller than the hybrids usually available in florists and nurseries.Another interesting gladiolus is Gladiolus natalensis, sometimes known as the parrot gladiolus. Flowers of this species, which is native to Africa, are larger than those of G. byzantinus, and are a brilliant combination of yellowish green and red. Both of these gladioli may be grown as perennials, and usually increase in numbers each year. They are commercially available, however, only from specialty bulb sources.As for the poppy, these comparatively dainty blooms are also available in a wide variety of colors. Red poppies symbolize pleasure, white ones are sent to console the recipient, and yellow poppies send a message of success and wealth. If you don’t want to choose a particular color, you can always plan on having a bouquet by planting a wide range of poppies of many colors in your garden.There is evidence of poppy culture back as far as 5,000 B.C. in the Tigris and Euphrates river region in modern day Iraq. Egyptian tombs contain poppies and the ancient Greeks associated them with Demeter, the goddess of fertility and agriculture. They considered the presence of poppies around a field of grain crops a sign of the goddess’ blessing, which insured a good harvest.Poppies are best planted directly out in the garden as they are not fond of being transplanted. They germinate best at soil temperatures in the 50s or 60s so mid fall is generally a good time to plant them.Select a location with full sun although a little shade is okay as long as they get at least six hours of direct sun. Build up a raised planting bed if the area is not well drained. Most species won’t tolerate soggy soil conditions at all.There are several that I know do very well in our area, I like Breadseed (Papaver somniferum) as their foliage is a grayish blue green and plants reach a height of 2 to 3 feet tall bearing single or double blooms in colors ranging from deep red to pink and lavender.Another nice one is Flanders Poppy (Papaver rhoeas) it has bright red blooms with one or two rows of slightly crinkly petals that somewhat resemble crepe paper. Flanders Poppies were brought to the Georgetown, Texas, area by local resident Henry Compton as he returned from service in France during World War One. These Flanders poppies are still found throughout the area, making Georgetown “The Red Poppy Capital of Texas.”Yet another beauty is the Iceland Poppy (Papaver nudicaule) which sports some of the brightest colors in our Texas gardens. The blooms are rather large single flowers in glowing shades of white, yellow, coral orange, pink or red. The plants are typically 1 to 2 feet tall depending on variety and growing conditions.If you know somebody who is celebrating their birthday during the month of August, it’s always a good idea to consider these flowers as a suitable and meaningful gift. Be sure to let the recipient know that these are special August birth month flowers as most folks don’t even know that birth-flowers exist.--Joe Urbach is the publisher of GardeningAustin.com and the Phytonutrient Blog.
