How the wedding bouquet tradition began and more
A 1976 reminiscence traces wedding lore from garter thefts to stockings, noting early crowds chased the bride for tokens and a clever toss defused a riot like a rum runner. It includes bite sized quips on Casanova, feminine versus womanly, and odd ball facts about long beaches and talking dogs.
Garden vegetables can be planted now in Iowa
Jim Frier notes planting is possible for many crops. Gary Kling advises deeper summer seeding and light mulch. Summer seeds require watering if rainfall stays below 1 to 1.5 inches weekly. Fertilize like spring crops and select early varieties to beat frost. Suitable: beets, cabbage, carrots, chard, beans, corn, cucumbers, melons, squash. Pepper and tomato transplants ok. avoid lettuce onions potato radish spinach broccoli kale cauliflower collards due to short or hot growing season.
