    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    While fall is commonly known as harvest time, when it comes to perennials, fall is for planting. “It’s a common misconception that you can’t plant in the fall,” said Dennis Hurst of Ryeland Gardens in Womelsdorf, Pennsylvania. “A lot of stuff will do just fine and dandy — if not even better — getting rooted in the fall.” Typical fall weather means more rain and increased soil moisture, which helps plants get established quickly before winter dormancy. Additionally, the cooler day

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    It was a quiet Friday in the office. That is, until a gasp was heard across the newsroom along with the shocked question, “Is that a bat?” Lo and behold, it was a bat, quietly sleeping upside down, hanging onto the closed blinds over the windows.
