Getting to the church in time

Article Abstract:

It can be difficult for amateur gardeners to make definite plans about growing specific flowers for a wedding. This is because natural conditions, such as rain and temperature, have such a significant impact on the rate at which flowers grow. Tulips are usually a reliable flower to grow for a spring wedding, but they have flowered extremely early in 1999. Some tulips, including pale cream 'Magier,' which has a purple rim around its petals, and scarlet 'Couleur Cardinal,' are particularly impressive.

How can this be a sin?

Article Abstract:

Those considering growing apples in their own garden should be aware that apple trees are not self-fertile, so it is necessary to have more than one variety in the garden to allow cross-pollination. Any variety sold as a triploid will be a poor pollinator. Care must be taken to select varieties that are in blossom at the same time. It is interesting to experiment with old varieties, particularly those found only in a particular region.
