PAGE 8 A Turley Publication • www.turley.com I Thursday, July 19, 2012 Where is it? “Do you know where this photo is?” Each week, a photograph of an object, landmark or other well-known local item (taken at close range) will run in the newspaper. Readers are invited to submit their answers to Tim Kane at telephone (413) 967-3505 or e-mail tkane@turley.com. All entries must include the respondent’s answer, his or her name, address and phone number. Remember, be as specific as possible! If it is a photo of a building, entries must include the name and location of the building. If it is a close-up of a sign, respondents must indicate where the sign is located and how it is used. Of course, if it is a photo of a random object, like an American flag, no additional information is necessary. The name of the person who provides the correct answer first will be featured in the newspaper. In order to qualify for the weekly “Where Is It?” contest, entries must be received by the end of the day on the Monday after publication. The winner’s name, along with the correct answer, will be published in the next edition.

I N THE GARDEN Roberta McQuaid A Turley Publication • www.turley.com I Thursday, July 19, 2012 PAGE 9 - outdoors - East to grow summer annuals I know of very few people who start their own annuals, in place, in the garden. Yet it wasn’t that long ago that folks did just that, and with great success. You can too….read on. Bachelor’s Button - Also known as cornfl ower, this one and a half inch thistle-shaped fl ower is a care free choice for the cottage garden or wild meadow. Best known in bright royal blue, it also comes in other pretty shades of blue, pink, lavender, maroon and white. Plants can grow anywhere from one to three feet tall and are rather lanky in appearance- for that reason they can be spaced at just six inches apart. They often peter out in the heat, but by removing spent blooms and watering you can prolong the plant’s demise. Make your fi rst sowing of seeds in mid-April, and resow in late June for blooms well into the fall- even through the fi rst frost. Seeds can be sown one-quarter inch deep, two inches apart and then thinned to the above spacing. Calendula or Pot Marigold - Despite the recent bought of heat, this cool-loving annual has been performing well in my garden for the past couple of weeks now. I grew an heirloom variety called ‘Flashback’ this year. It is a mix that contains orange, apricot and rosetoned fl owers, many of whose petals are backed with maroon. The contrasting tones shimmer and sparkle in the sun! Depending on variety of calendula grown, the fl owers on these beauties can be single, semi-double or fully double, and can have contrasting dark eyes. Most fl owers are two to three inches wide; the plants top off at a foot and a half tall. They are subtly fragrant and the stems and foliage are uniquely sticky to the touch. Sow seeds in place one-half inch deep, three inches apart, thinning to eight to ten inches apart. Deadhead regularly to keep the plant blooming. If your plants start to look ragged in midsummer, consider cutting them pack to a point of new growth at the base, then water and fertilize- with any luck you could see a new fl ush of fl owers that, like bachelor button, will last well past the fi rst cold snap. Do let a few fl owers fade on the plant, and when they are completely dry pull apart the tightly packed seed cluster. Put the apostrophe-shaped seeds in a jar, label, and save like my mom did for sowing the following year. If one summer annual could win a challenge in versatility it would be Cosmos. This amazing fl ower is carefree yet durable, another choice for both the wild meadow and cottage garden. Hummingbirds and butterfl ies seek out its nectar-rich fl owers, and its seeds are equally as important to the birds. Although their vase life isn’t very long, the large, delicately- petaled blooms make popular cut fl owers. The taller types are especially suited for cutting. ‘Versailles’ has strong stems and is available in familiar shades of pink, rose and white. I grew a new, ruffl ed variety this year by the name of We’re apples to oranges Unlike many daily newspapers, community newspapers are thriving for one reason alone, we’re local all the time. We bring home local news, reach a dedicated local audience and enrich our pages with local advertisers. Support your community and shop with our advertisers who make this publication possible. ‘Rose Bon-Bon.’ One word to best describe it: fancy! Sow cosmos seeds one-half inch deep, two inches apart. Thin plants to eight inches apart Sunfl ower - I lump sunfl owers into three categories: the tall single- headed mammoth types, the tall, multifl owered varieties and the short single-headed plants. While the mammoth heads make for great bird food (human food too!), and the single heads rival those from the fl orist, the tall, multi-fl owering varieties offer the most bang for your seed packet buck, with lots of stems to cut for the vase. I grew ‘Bicolor Royal Flush’ this year, and was lucky enough to see my fi rst blossom this week from an early May planting. Try growing them yourself next year by sowing three seeds together in a hill one inch deep, four inches apart, spacing hills one foot apart. Once they have sprouted, thin to the best seedling per hill. Provide rich soil and ample water for the tallest (6+’), happiest plants.
