Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been married for more than six years. Their grand wedding in May 2018 was spectacular, but it didn’t take long before things started crackling. The couple left royal life two years later, and what once was a great relationship with their UK family, including Prince William and Kate Middleton, is gone today

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle married only two years after their first blind date in London. The couple quickly fell in love, and not long after, Meghan Markle decided to move to the UK to be with her boyfriend.

However, Prince Harry’s apparent overflowing love for Meghan was not only positive among his family members. Prince William urged his brother to take it slow—and according to one royal author, it was because he felt something was wrong.

Planting perennials in the fall can be a great way to establish them before winter, but there are some varieties that may struggle if planted at this time. Here are ten perennials you should avoid planting in fall:

  1. Peonies – They prefer to be planted in spring for better establishment and blooming.
  2. Daylilies – Fall planting can lead to root rot in colder climates; spring is better for them.
  3. Astilbe – These need time to establish their roots and can struggle with winter exposure if planted too late.
  4. Hellebores – They require a longer growing season to establish before winter, making spring a better choice.
  5. Sedum – While some varieties can handle fall planting, many prefer spring for better growth.
  6. Larkspur – These are biennials and typically do best when sown in spring.
  7. Foxglove – Like larkspur, foxgloves are biennials that thrive when planted in spring.
  8. Iris – They can be finicky if planted too late, as they need time to settle before freezing temperatures.
  9. Catmint – While hardy, it’s best to plant in spring to ensure vigorous growth.
  10. Buddleia (Butterfly Bush) – This shrub can be sensitive to fall planting; spring is ideal for establishing it properly.

When in doubt, spring planting generally allows these perennials to establish better and thrive in your garden!

Vince Gill, a celebrated country singer with the most Grammy Awards of any male country artist, has built an illustrious career over four decades. After rising to fame with the band Pure Prairie League in 1979, Gill became a beloved solo artist, known for his gospel-infused performances. Inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2007, Gill’s faith has become an integral part of his music.

Recently, he was invited to perform at Nashville’s iconic Grand Ole Opry, a historic country music stage dating back to 1925. However, organizers requested that he not perform any religious songs, particularly about Jesus. Rather than conform, Gill chose to defy the request and performed “Why Me Lord,” a gospel song by Kris Kristofferson, famously covered by legends like Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash.

His bold decision resulted in a standing ovation, with the audience moved not by the content but by the heartfelt performance. Gill’s choice to stay true to his faith and artistry resonated with fans, proving that his music’s impact transcends any rules imposed on him.

At least 15 individuals lost their lives in a horrific accident on Thursday in Manitoba, Canada. A bus carrying elderly passengers collided with a truck at an intersection near Carberry, 170 kilometers west of Winnipeg.

The bus passengers were en route to a casino in Carberry. Deputy Police Officer Rob Hill, commander of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in Manitoba, confirmed that “at least 15 individuals were pronounced dead as a result of the collision.”

Ten other individuals are receiving medical care at the hospital. Both drivers survived, but the police have not disclosed who was responsible for the accident. Images from the scene showed wheelchair seats and walking frames destroyed near the tarpaulins covering the bodies.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau extended his condolences, stating his thoughts are with the injured and the families of those who lost loved ones. Manitoba Premier Heather Stefanson also expressed her sympathy.

Growing papaya can be quite rewarding! Here’s a simple guide to help you get started:

1. Choose the Right Variety

  • Common varieties include Solo, Hawaiian, and Mexican papaya. Select one based on your climate and space.

2. Climate and Location

  • Papayas thrive in warm, tropical or subtropical climates. They need plenty of sunlight and well-draining soil.

3. Soil Preparation

  • Use well-draining soil with a pH of 6.0 to 6.5. You can mix compost or organic matter to enrich the soil.

4. Planting Seeds

  • Direct Sowing: Plant seeds about ½ inch deep in a sunny spot. Space them at least 3 feet apart.
  • Transplanting: Start seeds indoors, then transplant them when they’re about 6 inches tall.

5. Watering

  • Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during dry spells, but avoid waterlogging.

6. Fertilization

  • Use a balanced fertilizer every few months. Look for one high in nitrogen to promote leaf growth.

7. Pruning

  • Remove any dead leaves and lower branches to promote airflow and reduce disease risk.

8. Pest and Disease Management

  • Watch for pests like aphids and mealybugs. Neem oil can help manage infestations. Ensure good airflow to prevent diseases.

9. Harvesting

  • Papayas typically take 6-12 months to bear fruit. Harvest when they turn yellow and give slightly when pressed.

10. Post-Harvest Care

  • Store ripe papayas at room temperature or in the fridge to extend their freshness.

Additional Tips

  • Consider planting male and female trees, as females are the ones that produce fruit. Male trees can help pollinate them.
  • In cooler climates, you can grow papayas in pots and bring them indoors during winter.

With proper care, you’ll soon be enjoying your homegrown papayas!

Michael J. Fox and Tracy Pollan have a remarkable story both personally and professionally. They first met on the set of the hit TV show “Family Ties” in the early 1980s, where Pollan played Ellen, the girlfriend of Fox’s character, Alex P. Keaton. Their chemistry was evident, and after dating briefly, they both moved on to other relationships.

Years later, they reconnected while Fox was filming “Doc Hollywood,” and this time, their relationship blossomed into a lasting marriage. They tied the knot on July 16, 1988, and have four children together: Sam, Aquinnah, Schuyler, and Esmé.

Throughout their marriage, Tracy has been a staunch supporter of Michael, especially after he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 1991. She has played a crucial role in his advocacy work, helping to raise awareness and funds for Parkinson’s research through the Michael J. Fox Foundation.

Their partnership is characterized by mutual respect and love, showcasing a deep bond that has only strengthened over the years. Together, they continue to inspire many with their resilience and commitment to each other and their causes.
