== RG3 to have surgery on injured knee MailTribune.com ==

<div id="leftCol"> WASHINGTON — Robert Griffin III is having surgery Wednesday on a torn ligament in his right knee — and to see if there's a second ligament that also needs to be repaired.Baylor coach Art Briles confirmed to USA Today and The Associated Press on Tuesday night that the Washington Redskins rookie has a torn lateral collateral ligament. He said the surgery also will determine whether Griffin has damaged the ACL in that knee.A person close to Griffin, speaking on condition of anonymity because the Redskins have not made an announcement, also confirmed the details surrounding Griffin's injury to the AP.A torn LCL requires a rehabilitation period of several months, possibly extending into training camp and the start of next season. A torn ACL is a more severe injury, typically requiring nine to 12 months of recovery, although Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson make a remarkable return this season some eight months after tearing an ACL — and nearly broke the NFL's single-season rushing record.Griffin tore his ACL in the same knee while playing for Baylor in the third game of the 2009 season and missed the rest of the year. He was injured on the opening drive against Northwestern State but kept playing until halftime.Griffin came back to win the Heisman Trophy two years later, and Briles predicted a similar recovery this time."RG3 will be good as new, though. I know that!" Briles said in a text message to the AP.Griffin sprained the LCL last month against the Baltimore Ravens and missed one game. He returned wearing a bulky black brace for subsequent games and reinjured the knee at least twice in Sunday's playoff loss to the Seattle Seahawks, prompting a national debate over whether coach Mike Shanahan endangered his franchise player's career by not taking him out sooner.The Redskins said an MRI taken after the game was inconclusive, so Griffin flew to Florida on Tuesday for a more detailed examination conducted by orthopedist James Andrews. Andrews will perform the surgery Wednesday.Griffin, the No. 2 overall pick, was one of several rookie quarterbacks to make an instant impact on the league this season. He set the NFL record for best season passer rating by a rookie QB and led the Redskins to their first NFC East title in 13 years.But Griffin also had to leave three games early due to injuries — two because of his knee and one because of a concussion — and missed a fourth altogether because of the knee. Shanahan repeatedly said Griffin had clearance from doctors to return to play, but the coach also said he trusted Griffin's own word when deciding that the rookie should continue during Sunday's game — even though Griffin was clearly struggling after reinjuring the knee in the first quarter.Griffin remained in the game until the fourth quarter, when he hurt the knee again while fielding a bad shotgun snap.CowboysDallas defensive coordinator Rob Ryan was fired Tuesday after his injury-depleted unit struggled in a pair of season-ending losses that kept the Cowboys out of the playoffs for a third straight year,[http://www.jels.cz/w/index.php?title=U%C5%BEivatel:MichaelBanks#Take_a_walk_on_the_wild_side_in_the_Jacksonville_hills_Mail Take a walk on the wild side in the Jacksonville hills Mail].Ryan was let go a day after running backs coach Skip Peete was fired, and less than a week after Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said things were going to get "uncomfortable" at team headquarters in nearby Irving."At this time, the decision has been made to move forward in a different direction philosophically on defense," Cowboys coach Jason Garrett said in a statement. "I have an immense amount of respect for Rob as a person and as a football coach."Ryan spent two seasons with the Cowboys after he was fired two years into the same job in Cleveland. He didn't hide his displeasure over being let go by the Browns before the Cowboys played them this season. He struck a different tone Tuesday,[http://wiki.abokolleg.de/index.php?title=Benutzer:MichaelBanks Laughing matter Oregon Healthy Living - MailTribune.com]."I enjoyed my time here," Ryan told The Dallas Morning News. "I have no hard feelings. But it doesn't matter if I coach here or not. I will find another spot."The Cowboys finished 14th in total defense this season under Ryan, the twin brother of New York Jets coach Rex Ryan, but couldn't stop the New Orleans passing game or the Washington rushing attack when they still controlled their playoff fate in the last two weeks of the regular season.JetsThe New York Jets' housecleaning will bring three new coordinators in 2013.Tony Sparano was fired Tuesday as offensive coordinator after one season in which the offense ranked among the league's worst.Sparano was hired last March to replace Brian Schottenheimer and take over an offense that struggled mightily. Instead, the former Miami Dolphins head coach wasn't able to jumpstart the running game or figure out a way to use Tim Tebow consistently as the Jets finished 30th in the NFL in total offense.Also gone is defensive coordinator Mike Pettine, whose contract expired. Coach Rex Ryan, who worked with Pettine the last 10 years, said Pettine was interviewing for the same job in Buffalo.The contract of quarterbacks coach Matt Cavanaugh also was not renewed. </div>

== Immigration reform's path to 218 House votes 0 ==

<html>Associated Press
With the kind of efficiency and competence we're not accustomed to seeing on Capitol Hill, the Senate passed comprehensive immigration reform yesterday, despite the opposition of most of the chamber's Republicans. It was one of those rare instances in which a bipartisan group of lawmakers crafted a plan, stuck to it, and it actually worked.
But as is painfully obvious, the House of Representatives, led by a radicalized Republican majority that's openly hostile towards immigration, will be a far more difficult hurdle.
House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio), unable to lead his own members, has already said he will not allow the Senate bill to receive a vote. Indeed,[http://susamix.altervista.org/php5//index.php?title=Utente:MichaelBanks#Donovan.2C_Holden.2C_Jack_Mac_Gold_Cup Donovan, Holden, Jack Mac Gold Cup], he's vowed not to bring any comprehensive immigration reform bill to the House floor unless most of his caucus gives him permission to do so -- which would suggest that reform advocates, thrilled by yesterday's success in the Senate, start dramatically lowering their expectations.
That said, all hope is not lost, at least not yet. There are three scenarios,[http://www.wholesalefootballtshirts.com/dallas-mavericks-c-73_77 Dallas Mavericks T Shirts], some of which are realistic than others, which suggest reform still has a pulse, despite right-wing objections.
First, Boehner may be bluffing. The Speaker has vowed to stick to the so-called "Hastert Rule," which is a made-up procedural standard, but he's changed his mind about this before. Indeed, Boehner has a habit of saying lots of things, only to change course later. It's true that on immigration, he hasn't left himself a lot of wiggle room, but he's also publicly endorsed a comprehensive solution to the nation's broken immigration system, suggesting he doesn't want to see the entire effort die, especially at his hands.
Second, the House might pass an alternative. The House GOP strongly objects to the Senate bill, for reasons that aren't entirely clear, but the lower chamber could, in theory, pass a related bill and send the whole thing to a conference committee. There's a bipartisan "gang" in the House that swears with a bill,[http://www.wholesalefootballtshirts.com/nfl-tshirts-c-24 NFL T shirts for men], and House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) has a plan of his own in mind. If the House can get its act together and pass something, a worthwhile package may yet emerge from bicameral talks.
Which leads us to my preferred option...

... there's always a discharge petition. As a rule, the only bills that reach the House floor for a vote are the ones House leaders allow to reach the floor. But there's an exception: if 218 members sign a discharge petition,[http://www.wholesalefootballtshirts.com/indianapolis-colts-c-24_38 Wholesale Indianapolis Colts t shirts], their preferred legislation is brought up for a vote whether the majority party's leadership likes it or not.
In terms of specific numbers, there are 201 Democrats in the House caucus. If literally all of them are prepared to support the bipartisan Senate bill, they would need 17 House Republicans -- just 7% of the 231 GOP House members -- to join them on the discharge petition. If, say, 10 conservative "Blue Dog" Democrats from Southern states balked, they would need 27 Republicans to break party ranks.
Just last week, we were told they were who consider themselves moderates, unhappy with their party's far-right direction. Is there a chance half of these alleged centrists might sign a discharge petition and get immigration reform done? Sure there is.
The odds aren't great, but don't let all the "D.O.A." talk convince you the reform fight is already over.</html>

== Wizards’ Otto Porter Jr. happy to stay in second ̶ ==

<html>The wiry, 6-foot-8 Porter provides the Wizards with versatility, given his ability to defend multiple positions, rebound and shoot from the perimeter. Coach Randy Wittman?often poked his head in to see the Big East player of the year and first-team All-American play last season. After seeing Porter work out for the Wizards at Verizon Center two weeks ago, Wittman said he told Porter to tell his agent, David Falk, not to let him talk to anyone else.

“I was a little scared that he wasn’t going to be there and we’re ecstatic that he was there at three for us,” Wittman said. “He’s a guy, as a coach, you want guys like him. I loved playing with guys like him. He’s a guy that makes you better. He knows how to play. I really believe character is a skill and one that’s developed. Not only is he a good basketball player, he’s a good kid.”

The Wizards already have small forward Trevor Ariza under contract for next season and are interested in bring back free agent Martell Webster, who started at small forward most of last season. Wittman said he wouldn’t guarantee a starting job for Porter and plans to let the 20-year-old swingman determine his spot in practice – and Porter has no problem with that.

“I’m just going to work for it,” Porter said. “I don’t want anything given to me. I come from where I have to work for what I have and I’m just going to continue to do that.”

Porter was deemed by some scouts and rival executives as a safe pick that lacked the upside of some of the other top prospects in the draft, but Georgetown Coach John Thompson III scoffed at those assessments, rattling off similar analyses of former Hoyas Jeff Green, Roy Hibbert and Greg Monroe.

“He’ll show ‘em,” Thompson said of Porter,[http://www.wholesalefootballtshirts.com/cheap-los-angeles-lakers-24-kobe-bryant-super-star-black-nba-tshirts-p-1112.html Kobe Bryant t shirts], the highest Hoya draft pick since Allen Iverson. “When we were practicing to go to China the summer before his freshman year, after a couple of practices, we realized, ‘This kid is going to be pretty good.’ At that point, could I have said we’ll be standing here two years later? I’m not sure about that. But you’ve seen a steady progress. You’ve seen him come in as somebody who can do a lot of things on the court, to get to where he’s very good at a lot of different things…It’s a big adjustment going from the collegiate level to the NBA. His versatility, his work ethic, his caring, will help expedite that process.”

Porter’s father, Otto Sr., played a major role in keeping his son away from AAU basketball, encouraging him to focus more on individual skill work and fundamentals instead of getting some exposure by playing in some meaningless games. The younger Porter had to wait to get some attention, something he likely won’t be able to avoid as a high draft pick in the NBA, but Otto Sr. is not worried about his son,[http://www.wholesalefootballtshirts.com/san-antonio-spurs-c-73_84 wholesale San Antonio Spurs T Shirts], known back home as Bubba.

“He’s well grounded. He understands it; there’s the ups, there’s the downs, but his base is solid. He’ll do fine,[http://wiki.hellcrab.com/index.php/%D0%A3%D1%87%D0%B0%D1%81%D1%82%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%BA:MichaelBanks#Paula_Deen_Dumped_By_Home_Depot_And_Diabetes_Drug_Company_No Paula Deen Dumped By Home Depot And Diabetes Drug Company No],[http://www.wholesalefootballtshirts.com/all-star-c-73_74 NBA All Star T Shirts],” Otto Sr. said. “We’re looking for him to be a great player.”

Porter described his hometown in southeast Missouri as a “different world,” because “it’s more relaxed, more quiet, more nature, more country” than Washington. But he credits Cookson for nudging him to pay a visit that has paid off handsomely, and also his parents for helping him become the player and the person he is today.

“They knew that, ‘Hey, this kid has the talent. And he’s going to be very good if he continues to work on it.’ All he needs is a push,” Porter said. “Did they give it to me? Look at where I am now. Of course.”</html>

== New Risks To China's Property Bubble ==

<html>In late 2011 many were expecting China's property bubble to burst. It looked as though housing prices had peaked and signs of stress were beginning to appear (). But the correction turned out to be quite shallow and in spite of China's government's multiple attempts to arrest housing price appreciation (and partially succeeding - ), house prices went on rising.

With real rates on deposits remaining in negative territory for years, there were few places to turn for wealthy savers. Property became one of the primary vehicles to put away excess cash to escape inflationary pressures. Moreover,[http://www.wholesalefootballtshirts.com/new-york-knicks-c-73_82 New York Knicks T Shirts], municipal governments made large sums of money selling land to developers, while banks ("encouraged" by municipalities) have been happily lending. And in many cases lenders and developers have set up arrangements that are a bit closer than "arms length" (. Except for ordinary families who got shut out of the housing markets, everyone benefited from this rally. Housing investment as percentage of GDP has been growing unabated,[http://www.planet-archeage.de/aa-kompendium/index.php?title=Benutzer:MichaelBanks#10_Guns_That_Shaped_American_History 10 Guns That Shaped American History],[http://www.wholesalefootballtshirts.com/cheap-nike-indianapolis-colts-12-luck-nfl-tshirt-men-blue-p-2007.html Andrew Luck t shirts], and in recent years started approaching levels that other nations experienced at the height of their property bubbles.

Credit Suisse

Now, based on the house price to wage ratio compiled by the IMF, China's large cities have the most expensive real estate in the world. Beijing is particularly expensive, as party officials deploy their "hard-earned" cash.

Creidt Suisse

And while Western economists debate if China's property market is truly a bubble, major Chinese developers are openly admitting it.

: - China Vanke [one of the largest developers in China] chairman Wang Shi said the mainland's property market faces the risk of a "bubble", reiterating concerns the developer raised three months ago.

The bubble is not "light", Wang said at a conference in Shanghai yesterday. "If the bubble lasts, it will be dangerous."

Home prices have been increasing even as the government in March stepped up a three-year campaign to cool the market.

The measures have included raising down-payment and mortgage requirements, imposing a property tax for the first time in Shanghai and Chongqing, and enacting purchase restrictions in about 40 cities. New home prices jumped 6.9 per cent in May, the most since they reversed declines in December, SouFun Holdings, the mainland's biggest real estate website owner, said.

But bubbles can last for a long time. Are there indications that this market may have peaked? Two key economic developments point to rising risks to this multi-year housing rally.

1. Real rates on deposits have turned positive in China recently, which will reduce incentives to use property markets as a savings tool. If rich savers make more on interest than they lose to inflation, they are less inclined to look for alternatives to bank deposits.

Credit Suisse

2. The recent madness in China's money markets and PBoC's "delayed reaction" to tight monetary conditions () could potentially spill over into the broader credit markets, resulting in increased lending rates and tighter credit conditions in general. That's not great news for property markets.

JPMorgan: - We expect liquidity conditions to ease in July, but in the near term, there is a risk that the tough line taken by the PBOC will create an artificial liquidity squeeze and cause an increase in the lending rate to the real sector (the SHIBOR rate also increased significantly, to 5.4%), putting further pressure on already-weak economic activity. In our view,[http://www.wholesalefootballtshirts.com/dallas-mavericks-c-73_77 Dallas Mavericks T Shirts], the PBOC should reintroduce reverse-repo [injecting liquidity] operations very soon to calm the panic in the interbank market.

These threats to China's property markets, combined with weakness in manufacturing, do not bode well for China's near term growth prospects.</html>

== Straus- Perry Crossed Line on Davis Comments ==

<html>One of the most powerful Republicans in Texas, House Speaker , said Friday that Gov. s controversial remarks about Democratic Sen. were inappropriate and damaging to the GOP brand.

Straus, briefly interviewed by The Texas Tribune as he was leaving the Texas Capitol for his home in San Antonio,[http://www.wholesalefootballtshirts.com/miami-dolphins-c-24_41 Miami Dolphins t shirts], said Perry's comments were not helpful to Republicans because they centered on Davis in personal terms and veered away from the conversation about abortion policy.

Disagreements over policy are important and they re healthy,[http://wiki.rayongwit.ac.th/wiki/index.php/%E0%B8%9C%E0%B8%B9%E0%B9%89%E0%B9%83%E0%B8%8A%E0%B9%89:MichaelBanks#Spanish_To_Run_Cars_On_Human_Waste Spanish To Run Cars On Human Waste], but when he crosses the line into the personal, then he damages himself and he damages the Republican Party, Straus said.

Straus said the abortion legislation Davis helped kill with an 11-hour filibuster had strong support in the House and will continue to in a newly called special session.

Even some Democrats voted for it, Straus said.

I think now it s our responsibility to have a civil discourse and move through this process with a respect for the rules and respect for one another, he added.

Republicans have been expressing concerns privately that Perry s comments are giving fuel to Democrats who say the GOP has declared a war on women. With his remarks Friday morning, Straus has taken those concerns public.

Perry spokesman Josh Havens said Perry's comment about Davis "speaks for itself as a compliment tothe senator being a living example of why every child, no matter theircircumstances,[http://www.wholesalefootballtshirts.com/houston-texans-c-24_37 Houston Texans t shirts], deserves a chance at life."

"The issue of abortion is apassionate one for everyone on both sides of the aisle, and thegovernor will continue to fight for the sanctity of life in a civilmanner," Havens said.

Perry s reference to Davis came during a speech Thursday to the National Right to Life convention in Dallas. His remarks sparked a news frenzy and have given the down-and-out Texas Democrats rare national media attention.

Perry said Davis, a teenage mother who rose from a trailer park to Harvard Law School and then the state Senate, should look to her background for inspiration in the debate on abortion rights.

It s just unfortunate that she hasn t learned from her own example: that every life must be given a chance to realize its full potential and that every life matters, he said.

Perry returned to that theme in an interview on the Laura Ingraham radio show on Friday, saying he was sad that she does not understand that every life is precious, certainly her own.

Davis appeared on MSNBC earlier Friday morning to say Perry's comment "demeans the office that he holds."</html>

== Networking Is About Trusting People ==

"Unless you experience the occasional deception, you are not optimizing your relationship building process; you are losing valuable opportunities to connect with people who might enrich your career and your life."

Kofman explains that in order to expand one's network,[http://www.wholesalefootballtshirts.com/nfl-tshirts-c-24 NFL T shirts for men], you need to trust more people even if it means the risk of a bad investment. The risk associated with being betrayed is predictable and often people expect to be burned when going into these relationships. The payoffs, however,[http://www.wholesalefootballtshirts.com/cheap-nike-indianapolis-colts-12-luck-nfl-tshirt-men-blue-p-2007.html Andrew Luck t shirts], are often unforeseen and can lead to greater opportunities than if one had not trusted each other at all.

"When I look back at my career, I see that all my professional success, my financial position, and my dear friends, are now the means to set up an evenhigherallowance for bad dudes, which then enables me to have an evenlargernetwork of trust."

== As Egyptian unrests grows, sexual assaults are rampant — MS ==

<html>Opponents of Egypt s Islamist President Mohammed Morsi shout slogans and wave a national flags in Tahrir Square in Cairo, Egypt on July 3, 2013. (Photo by Amr Nabil/AP)

Hundreds of thousands of demonstrators packed into Cairo’s Tahrir Square to celebrate the military s removal of Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi. But amid the fireworks and revelry, a sense of unruliness and unrest remains on the streets, further highlighted by a released Wednesday by the Human Rights Watch.

Mobs sexually assaulted, and in some instances, raped at least 91 women at protests in a four-day period, the advocacy group confirmed. Though,[http://wsic.uwaterloo.ca/wiki/User:MichaelBanks#Independence_Day.2C_NSA_leaks_inspire_.27Fourth_Amendment.27_ralli Independence Day, NSA leaks inspire 'Fourth Amendment' ralli], Egyptian women s rights organizations suggested there .

“The rampant sexual attacks during the Tahrir Square protests highlight the failure of the government and all political parties to face up to the violence that women in Egypt experience on a daily basis in public spaces,” said Joe Stork, deputy Middle East director at Human Rights Watch, in a statement. “These are serious crimes that are holding women back from participating fully in the public life of Egypt at a critical point in the country’s development.”

This most recent wave of sexual violence began on June 30, based on reports from the group Operation Anti-Sexual Harassment/Assault, which runs a hotline for victims of sexual assault and tries to intervene in these clashes where women are vastly outnumbered. The group has been tweeting out daily stats and issuing warnings to women.

Stats for July 3rd (3:52 am, 4/07) over 80 assaults, we intervened in over 50. Seven needed medical att., 1 hospitalized 2 rape cases.

— ???????????/???????? (@OpAntiSH)

Women in avoid entrance of Tahrir St by Safir Travel, Hardee s and Mohamed Mahmoud St, all entrances and exists Sadat metro station

— ???????????/???????? (@OpAntiSH)

The group said the level has ranged from sexual harassment and assault to rapes involving knives and other sharp objects. Some reports said that women endured as much as 45 minutes of being sexually assaulted. Many cases have required medical attention.

With little interference from local police during demonstrations and the sudden overthrow of the national leadership,[http://www.wholesalefootballtshirts.com/ Cheap NFL T shirts], imperiled protesters have been left to fend for themselves.

Along with OpAntiSH, members of the non-partisan activist group ,[http://www.wholesalefootballtshirts.com/miami-heat-c-73_80 Miami Heat t shirts], comprised of both men and women, are taking matters into their own hands. Both were founded in 2012 to address the increasing problem of sexual harassment at demonstrations.

Tahrir Body Guard does exactly what the name implies. Wearing , they escort female protesters around the event and patrol the area for anyone in distress.

Gatherng point today is at 6:30 infront of Qasr el Dobara Church. We ll be in yellow vests helmets. Send ur info to 01227161213 if u ll join

— Tahrir Bodyguard (@TahrirBodyguard)

For many, today is a day of celebration, but we cannot say the same about more than twenty attacked in today. Sad day.

— Tahrir Bodyguard (@TahrirBodyguard)

As recently as Monday, President Obama that Egyptians needed to “show restraint” as the threat of potential violence “remains there.”

“We have seen many reports of women being assaulted in these protests,” Obama said at a press conference in Tanzania. “And for those who are participating in these protests or marches, assaulting women does not qualify as peaceful protests.”

Sexual assaults at mass protests in Cairo appear to follow similar patterns: the unruly mob isolates their female prey, encircles her, the group rips off her clothing and gropes, then drags the victim to another location and continues to attack.

In 2011, CBS war correspondent Lara Logan called widespread attention to the issue after her own while she was covering the fall of Egyptian dictator Hosni Mubarak.

== Peonies- A compensation of a harsh winter climate 4 ==

<html>They strategize about ways to push the limits of the plant's hardiness. "Perhaps if I wrap them in winter...," they say, or "Do you think if I dig them up in the fall and keep them in the garage until spring they would be OK?" The desire to grow plants that don't thrive in your garden zone isn't limited to people living in regions of the country with harsh winters. A friend in Seattle bemoans the fact that he can't grow a decent tomato because summers there don't get hot enough. Last week I was visiting a friend who had just bought a new home in Minneapolis, where winters are notoriously cold -- and long. The gardens on the property had not been tended in many years, and my friend asked me to help assess which plants should be kept and which should be replaced. When we went out to the south side of the house, I saw a sight that would make any gardener green with envy; a 50-foot long hedge of 40-year-old peony bushes. They were in full bloom and were the largest, healthiest looking peonies I have ever seen. My friend, who is not a gardener, asked me if they were worth keeping. "If you remove them,[http://www.letras.etc.br/wiki/index.php?title=Usu%C3%A1rio:MichaelBanks#Duncan_to_work_for_Lerners_as_he_campaigns_to_return_as_Mont Duncan to work for Lerners as he campaigns to return as Mont], I will shoot you," I said jokingly. I instructed him to cut a large bunch and bring them into the house. Once he smelled their intoxicating and unmistakable fragrance, he instantly understood their value in his landscape. Peonies are one of those plants that thrive in climates with cold winters. Native to central and eastern Asia, they struggle in climates with prolonged, hot summers and insufficient periods of winter dormancy. There are three types of peonies, and they are classified by their growth habits. The type familiar to most gardeners is called herbaceous, which die back to their roots each winter. Tree peonies are woody plants that lose their leaves each fall but re-sprout from viable hardwood stems each spring. Finally, intersectional peonies are crosses between the two. All thrive in northern climates, but herbaceous types are the hardiest and longest lived. Established plants can live for decades. Although tolerant of light shade, peonies require at least 6 hours of sun a day to bloom well, and unlike many herbaceous perennials they prefer to be planted in the fall. Some garden centers do offer container grown plants for spring planting; however, in my experience, fall-planted roots establish quicker. Peonies can be bought from mail order sources and will arrive as bare root plants. Peonies like a rich but well drained soil. Well-rotted cow manure or compost should be added to the soil before planting. Dig a hole roughly 1 foot wide by one foot deep. Add some of the amended soil to the hole and place the roots in the hole with the eyes (growing tips) facing up. Be careful not to plant the roots too deep, as this will inhibit flowering. Adding about 1 inch of soil over the crown of the plant should be sufficient. Water well to remove air pockets around the roots and be sure to provide water occasionally during the first growing season, especially if there are periods with little or no rain. Once established, peonies don't require supplemental watering. Feed you peonies with a balanced fertilizer, but avoid those with high levels of nitrogen. Too much nitrogen will produce abundant foliage and fewer flowers. Fish emulsion fertilizers work well. A supplemental feeding of potash worked into the soil around the crown of the plant will also help the plant thrive. A cup or two of fireplace ash in the early spring is sufficient. Peonies come in many colors, including red, white, pink, cream and even yellow, as well as in combinations of more than one color. There are double-flowered forms, single flowered forms and flowers with crinkled petals, producing an abundance of hybrid forms. If you live in a northern climate, consider planting a few peonies this year. When friends from warmer climates come to visit, you'll be amazed how they will envy your garden.
