Transform your tiny garden into a lush haven with these creative tips
When I was a kid, my aunt and uncle grew tomatoes in plastic buckets lined up like soldiers on the cement patio in their tiny Queens, New York, backyard. They also grew dozens of vegetables in their 10-by-10 foot (3-by-3 meter) patch of soil and installed a pergola they made from green metal fence posts above a picnic table. While it provided much-needed shade, it more importantly supported grapevines that produced enough fruit for their annual homemade vintage. Space — or the lack of it — doesn't have to stand between you and a fruitful garden. You just have to be creative. Start by looking up Vertical space is a horizontally challenged gardener's best friend. String up a trellis, hang baskets or attach planters to a fence or wall. You might be surprised at how much you can grow when you consider the third dimension. Vines, herbs and even strawberries are content climbers or danglers. Create visual interest by strategically grouping containers in clusters of odd numbers rather than lining them up in straight rows or placing them all separately. Try staggering their heights by perching them on decorative pedestals, overturned crates or stone slabs to draw the eye up and out. Compact and colorful crops Of course, size matters. If your space is limited, seek out compact or dwarf varieties of your favorite plants. They've been bred to thrive in tight spaces, and many are prolific producers of flowers, fruits or vegetables. These days, it's easy to grow roses, blueberries, tomatoes, peppers — even apple and fig trees — in containers. And don't sleep on plants that multitask as both beautiful ornamentals and nutritious crops. I've grown amaranth, cherry tomatoes and rainbow chard in my perennial beds. Other edibles with attractive foliage or flowers like chives, fancy lettuces and sage would be equally at home among my coneflowers, zinnias and roses. And sweet potatoes make a nice ground cover or trailing vine in a mixed container. Make the most of a single vegetable bed If you have a small, designated bed for vegetables, you can maximize your yield by planting a succession of crops throughout the season. Start by planting early-maturing plants like peas, beets, kale and lettuces. Then, after harvesting, replace them with warm-season crops, such as tomatoes, peppers, summer squash and beans. As they fade and fall approaches, use the space for another round of cool-season plants. Even a narrow strip or window box can feel lush if you plant it in layers. Place tall, upright plants in the back, midsized growers in the middle, and low bloomers in front to create visual depth that can help transform even a balcony or front stoop into your own personal nature retreat. ___ Jessica Damiano writes weekly gardening columns for the AP and publishes the award-winning Weekly Dirt Newsletter.

Brazil to reopen National Museum destroyed by fire in 2018
RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Brazil's National Museum offered a glimpse of its renovated building and collection on Monday, two days before it reopens for visitors and seven years after a devastating fire destroyed it. Journalists and special guests previewed the renovated museum in Rio de Janeiro, where they could also see a large part of its 20-million-artifact collection. Brazil's Education Minister Camilo Santana told journalists the museum's complete renovation is slated for completion by the end of 2027. He added that the reconstruction budget of almost 517 million Brazilian reais ($95 million) is being split between public and private companies. The building was once a royal palace that served as the seat of the united Portuguese and Brazilian empire before the museum's collection was transferred there in 1892. Visitors will be welcomed at the main entrance by a symbol of the institution's resilience: the Bendego meteorite, which weighs 5.6 tons and was found 241 years ago in the countryside of the state of Bahia. Brazil's Federal Police ruled out criminal offense in the 2020 fire, stating that the blaze in the former palace likely started with an air conditioning unit inside an auditorium near the front entrance. Arson was ruled out. Some artifacts have been recovered, notably most fragments of a skull belonging to a woman dubbed Luzia. It is one of the oldest human fossils ever found in the Americas, and was a top museum treasure. Recovery efforts were suspended during the COVID-19 pandemic. ____ Follow AP's coverage of Latin America and the Caribbean at

Create Account A man who had intentionally set the fire to ambush the crew on Sunday was perched in a sniper position, firing at the firefighters. They took cover behind firetrucks, but two died and a third was wounded during a barrage of gunfire over several hours, authorities said. First responders made urgent calls for help on their radios at Canfield Mountain just north of Coeur d'Alene: 'Everybody's shot up here … send law enforcement now,' according to one dispatch. Two helicopters converged on the area, armed with snipers ready to take out the suspect if needed, while the FBI used his cellphone data to track him and the sheriff ordered residents to shelter in place. They eventually found the suspect dead in the mountains, his firearm beside him. Your noon-hour look at what's happening in Toronto and beyond.

It is unknown how he died, and authorities have not yet revealed a motive. The suspect has been identified as Wess Roley, a law enforcement official told The Associated Press on Monday. The official spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the investigation. 'We do believe that the suspect started the fire, and we do believe that it was an ambush and it was intentional,' Kootenai County Sheriff Bob Norris said at a Sunday night news conference. 'These firefighters did not have a chance.' The wounded firefighter was 'fighting for his life' after surgery and was in stable condition, Norris said.

Hours after the ambush, people gathered along Interstate 90 holding American flags to pay their respects as the two fallen firefighters' bodies were taken to the medical examiner's office in Spokane, Washington, about 35 miles (56 kilometres) from Coeur d'Alene. Gov. Brad Little on Monday ordered U.S. and Idaho state flags to be lowered to half-staff to honor the firefighters until the day after their memorial service. 'All our public safety officers, especially our firefighters, bravely confront danger on a daily basis but we have never seen a heinous act of violence like this on our firefighters before,' he said in a statement. 'This is not Idaho. This indescribable loss is felt deeply by all those in the firefighting community and beyond.' This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. The Idaho House Republican Leadership said in a statement: 'We are horrified by the murder of two firefighters in Coeur d'Alene, and shocked by such a vicious attack on our first responders. We are praying for them, the injured, their families and their colleagues.' Though the shelter-in-place order was lifted, the sheriff's office cautioned residents to be prepared because the fire was still burning. The status of the fire was not immediately known Monday morning. Canfield Mountain is a popular hiking and biking area on the outskirts of Coeur d'Alene, covered with trees and heavy brush and crisscrossed with trails that lead into a national forest. Fire is always a concern for the region, said Bruce Deming, whose property abuts the trail system. When he noticed smoke on the ridge Sunday afternoon, he wondered why no firefighting helicopters were responding. When a friend texted to tell him about the shooting, he realized why he wasn't seeing aircraft: 'Because they're concerned about being shot at,' he said. As deputies set up posts nearby, Deming pointed them to a trail that starts near his backdoor and leads directly to the site of the fire. 'I just don't want to have to wake up in the middle of the night to figure if somebody's out prowling around my place,' he said. World World Toronto Maple Leafs Canada World
