‘Big Bang’ July 4th Celebration Features Monster Fireworks Midwest’s biggest fireworks finale will cap off a patriotic night of live music, skydiving, kids’ games and veterans tributes

Jackson County’s Big Bang Fourth of July Celebration will pack a patriot punch in the form of what will be the largest, most colorful fireworks show in the Midwest.

Admission to the celebration is free. Gates at Longview Lake Shelter No. 13 (11101 Raytown Road, Kansas City, Missouri 64134) will open at 5:30 p.m. Friday, July 4. Approximately 15,000 people attended the county’s 2013 Fourth of July celebration.

“I encourage everyone to come out and celebrate Independence Day with a few thousand of their neighbors,” said Jackson County Executive Mike Sanders. “We’ll be saluting the men and women whose military service has safeguarded our freedom. We’re also just going to have a lot of fun.”

A special video focusing on local World War II-era veterans reflecting on their experiences while chatting with County Executive Sanders will be shown during the Salute to the Military.

Also prior to the fireworks, tentatively scheduled for 9:40 p.m., the Big Bang Celebration will feature Backroad Anthem, an on-the-rise country rock band from Fayetteville, Ark., performing a live concert and the Skydive Kansas City Exhibition Team parachuting onto the lake’s beach. Carnival games, as well as food and beverage vendors will be spread out on the event grounds.

Craft Brewers May Find A Home In Raytown

By Mallory Ragon

craft brewery and taproom, but has found that no breweries of any size are addressed in the city’s zoning regulations and are, therefore, not allowed.

The city’s staff have been researching to determine whether it would be possible to allow for such a business in the city, and have recommended that the board amend the zoning language to allow craft brewers (which are defined as manufacturing fewer than 6 million barrels of beer per year) in industrial zones or as a conditional use in residential areas.

Crane Brewing Company will still have quite a few steps to take

The Raytown Board of Aldermen is considering an amendment to current zoning regulations that would allow craft brewers to operate within the city. The city has a prospective brewer, Crane Brewing Company, interested in making their home in Raytown. Michael Crane, a home brewer who has been seeing great success in the region, also operates Funblock, a furniture and contract manufacturing business, which has been located in Raytown for over 20 years.

With some space opening up in their building, he hopes to build a

before they can open for business in the city, but getting the zoning regulations amended is an important first step—one that the aldermen appear excited about.

“I think it’s a good thing,” said Alderman Pat Ertz. “It could put us on the map.”

Alderman Josh Greene laughed, noting that he hadn’t seen the board look so attentive during a presentation, and several aldermen were eager to talk with Crane after the meeting about his successful beers and festival appearances.

The aldermen will vote on the proposed amendment at their next meeting, scheduled for July 15.

Richest Productions, The One-Stop Shop For Your Media Needs

By Diane Krizek Editor Richest Productions, 8801 E 63rd Street, #102, is a one-stop shop for all your video needs. They can create promotional and or training videos for your business or record any of your family’s life events with still photos and video. Richest is currently working on a documentary for the Raytown Chamber of Commerce that will require archival material from the Raytown Historical Society Museum. He recently created a two-minute promotional video for the Sports Car Club of America’s (SCCC) Street Survival program that teaches accident avoidance skills and knowledge to teen drivers.

It all started when Bobby Richest produced a DVD of his children at the request of his mother-in-law who lived on the west coast. She was so delighted with the video and photos of her grandchildren against a music background that she began telling all of her friends who began calling him for DVDs of their grandchildren.

member who had passed on? Richest Productions is willing to create family tribute videos and whatever else you need – even sports highlight reels for your favorite athlete.

“They only thing we don’t do is “exotic”. And we don’t hide our prices like some of our competitors,” claims Bobby. “We have all of our services and prices listed on our website at RichestP.com.”

But he doesn’t stop there. Bobby began seeing a need to help folks with old media stored in their closets. Richest Productions can transfer 8mm VHS, 35mm slides and audio cassettes to DVD. Some of these services are now being offered by the big box stores who subcontract it out to businesses Bobby’s services have expanded to recording weddings, anniversaries, birthdays and even funerals for family members who cannot attend. They will also record recitals, musicals and stage plays. And how many people have wished they could have recorded the family history told by a beloved family

like Richest Productions.

“By coming to us, you don’t have to worry about where your precious memories are ending up and you get a faster return,” says Bobby. “I don’t transfer film reels which were used before my time but I have a good reference for anybody who needs that service.”

There are not many businesses in the entire Kansas City metro area that offer such a broad range of video services as does Richest Productions so Raytown is fortunate to have such easy access.

Hours are Monday to Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. but it’s always wise to first call 816-308-1495 because they might be shooting on location.

Kristina Peters, Director of Shepherd’s Center of Raytown Cathy Boyer-Shesol of MARC nominated the four Shepherd’s Centers. Ms. Boyer-Shesol pointed to their “common mission to empower older adults to use their wisdom and skills for the good of their communities” as well as their ability to “engage older adults as volunteers throughout each organization’s administration and programs” as a basis for the award.

She further stated that because the four Shepherd’s Centers work as community partners they are able to identify needs and provide a variety of programs that address those issues either at no charge or at a minimal cost.

Thanks to community sponsors, Dick Smith Ford, Truman Heartland Community Foundation, KCPL, and Mayor David Bower, and bussing by First Baptist Church of Raytown and Graceway, fifty volunteers were able to attend the event.

Board, staff and volunteers at Shepherd’s Center of Raytown are proud to have been given this award. For more information about the center’s programs and services, visit www.shepherdscenterraytown.org.

Board Approves City Hall Renovations

By Mallory Ragon The board of aldermen has voted to move forward with the proposed renovations to the board room at city hall. Many aldermen remained skeptical with the plans and posed many questions to their fellow board members and city staff as their conversation moved into its third session. The primary concerns were about the cost—and the value of the expenditure—of the project. Their hour-long discussion on Tuesday was a continuation of debate on the merits and necessities of updating the space. The Wilson Group, Inc. has estimated the renovations to cost about $80,000.

Fishing With Firefighters Was Big Success

Capt. Andy Finkelstein demonstrates how to use a fire hose to put out fires The Raytown Fire District’s new community program, Fishing with Firefighters, was a big hit in Raytown. Firefighters showed up every Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 a.m. in June with fire trucks and fishing gear to interact with kids at

C. Lee Kenagy Park. They not only helped them hook worms, they showed them how to use a fire hose. June 27 was the last day to fish with firefighters but we hope they make it an annual event.

public in front, in space currently kept empty to keep members of the audience out of the sightline of the camera.

“There is a lot of updating to be done,” said Alderman Jason Greene. “We should have some pride in it, even if there is a considerable cost.”

Some members were in favor of doing as little as is absolutely necessary to conserve costs, suggesting that items like replacing stairs with a ramp, shortening the dais, updating the audio/vi-

“There’s going to be a cost no matter what you do,” said Alderman Charlotte Melson, citing safety concerns and noncompliance with the American with Disabilities Act (ADA).

The room has not been updated since the building was built in 1975. There are steps that make it very difficult—if not impossible—for persons with disabilities to

reach the dais; the aldermen rely on setting small paper cups on the dais to alert the mayor when they want to speak; and the room is, at best, unattractive. In addition, the city relies on camera operators to manually maneuver a camera on a tripod to document meetings.

One of the proposed changes would be the addition of wall-mounted cameras that could be operated remotely.

Such an addition would also allow for added seats for the

Fireman Taylor Seedorf and Lawrence Pearison who proudly shows his trophy blue gill

sual and other technology in the room, replacing some or all of the flooring, upgrading lighting, and updating the ceiling.

In the end, the board voted 6 in favor (with Aldermen Michael Lightfoot, Josh Greene, Bill Van Buskirk and Janet Emerson voting against), citing their trust in Andy Noll, director of public works, to use the board’s feedback in the course of the project.

Westridge Conditional Use Permit Approved

By Mallory Ragon The board of aldermen granted a conditional use permit to buyers of city property at 8506 Westridge Road.

The purchase agreement was contingent on the approval of a permit that will allow the

property owners to use some of the space for overflow storage of vehicles related to business located elsewhere.

The buyers are a group of three; they were represented

by Kevin Foster and include Brian Bamesburger and Scott Bamesburger.

The public hearing regarding the permit began at the board’s last session on June 17. After a lengthy discussion by the board and several comments from neighboring residents, the is-

City Administrator’s Report

By Mahesh Sharma City Administrator Annual pavement maintenance repair for concrete curbs and sidewalks for this year has started. The con-

tractor started on Raytown Road just north of City Hall this week removing and replacing sections of curbs and sidewalks.

The sanitary sewer project along 83rd Street is near-

ing the end; the contractor finished placing the last run of sewer pipe. The contractor still has some connections and manhole work to complete before all of the underground work will be

finished. The asphalt paving repair has progressed this week. The bottom layer of asphalt paving is being placed along 83rd Street. The entire width of 83rd street will eventually receive an overlay

as part of the project.

Pavement repair work along the 5600 block of Raytown Road started this week and is anticipated to be completed next week. This is a location where a water line was

struck by a utility contractor and the resultant rush of water damaged a large section of the road base.

Metro Showing More Balanced Growth

By Jeff Pinkerton The last decade or so has seen the resurgence of the city.

In many metro areas it is not uncommon to see the central city growing faster than the surrounding suburbs in recent years. There has been renewed interest in urban living, especially among younger generations. Central cities across the country have tried to tap into this interest by investing in their urban cores in order to provide lifestyle and housing choices that are increasingly desirable. Locally, downtown Kansas City, Missouri, has seen its population grow 48 percent since 2000 (13,485 in 2000 to 20,000 today).

In Kansas City, the suburbs

have consistently seen the most rapid growth, but that rate has slowed considerably.

There is one other key point to note. Our central cities (the two Kansas Citys) are not like your typical central city. While they encompass the central business district and much of the region’s oldest housing, they both also have a lot of areas that look very “suburban” and a great deal of their recent growth is due to this type of development. This fact, coupled with the renewed interest in more urban-style housing, has led to a more balanced growth pattern for our region.

It will be interesting to see if this more balanced approach persists as the region resumes its usual growth rates.

have consistently grown faster than the central cities (Kansas City, Mo. and Kansas City, Kan.) but the rate of growth is narrowing as the chart below shows.

Here are a few key points from this chart.

• The overall growth rate of the metro (green line) has slowed between 2009 and 2011, likely due to our lackluster recovery from the recession. More recent years show the rate increasing, but it is not yet back to long-term growth rates of about 1 percent a year.

• Central city growth was negative in the early 2000s but has risen to be more in line with suburban growth rates since 2009.

• Kansas City’s suburbs applicant, but that she remains concerned about what the property will look like in the future.

The neglected property is currently owned by the city of Raytown. As part of the purchase agreement with Foster and the Bamesburgers, the new owners will address a list of 20 codes

violations. Potts said that she worries about potential issues with increased traffic on the street or the appearance of truck storage, adding that she didn’t want the neighborhood to have to “take one for the team,” so to speak because the city wants to get rid of some property they haven’t maintained.

Fireworks Are Legal To Purchase And Shoot In Raytown As Long As You Follow The Rules

Fireworks can only be shot on July 4th between the hours of 10 a.m. and 11 p.m.

Fireworks are not allowed in any public area or any Ray-

town Parks.

Bottle rockets, roman candles and stick missiles are prohibited.

The consumer must have

Raytown Students Attend Missouri Girls State

By Diane Krizek Editor Alexis Hartenstien, Sarah Holloway, Simone Jones, and Briana Taylor from Raytown High School and Emily McIntyre, and Lillia Nelson from Raytown South High School attended Missouri Girls State at the University of Central Missouri in Warrensburg, Mo. This weeklong annual program that

promotes patriotism, public service and citizenship is sponsored by the American Legion Auxiliary. This year, Governor Jay Nixon spoke to the girls.

“I hope you use what you gained this week to build a solid path to a career that you love,” said Governor Nixon.

Girls who have completed their junior year in high school are eligible to apply for the program and more

than 800 students from all across the state attend every year. The girls are afforded an opportunity to immerse themselves in the government process, living together as self-governing citizens, and learning about their duties, rights and responsibilities of American citizenship.

Participants who successfully complete the American Legion Auxiliary Missouri Girls State program in its

entirety and finish in good standing are eligible to apply for a number of scholarship opportunities at various colleges and universities.

Linda Schaap of Raytown has been the Director of Admission for the Missouri Girls State program for the past two years. Prior to that, she served as Associate Director for five years. She is also the Girls State chairman for the Raytown Memorial

Unit No. 596 of the Missouri Legion Auxiliary. As chair, she contacts the high school counselors at the Raytown and O’Hara high schools in February to get a list of possible delegates for that year’s Girls State. After an interview, the unit determines who they will sponsor. Cosponsors must also be found to help fund the girl’s participation in the program.

“The one and only oppor-

tunity for girls to attend Missouri Girls State is after they finish their junior year in high school and most come back saying it was a lifechanging experience,” said Schaap.

Missouri Girls State (MGS) was first established in 1940 as one of 11 Girls State programs in the nation.

Two Kansas City Men Indicted For Robbing Raytown Bank Tammy Dickinson, United States Attorney for the Western District of Missouri, announced that two Kansas City, Mo., men were indicted by a federal grand jury today for robbing First Federal Bank in Raytown, Mo. Robert T. Morris, 31, and Anthony Beeks, 52, both of Kansas City, were charged in an indictment returned by a federal grand jury in Kansas City. Today’s in-

dictment replaces a federal criminal complaint that was filed against Morris on May 22, 2014, and adds Beeks as a co-defendant.

The indictment alleges that Morris and Beeks, aiding and abetting each other, stole $2,025 from First Federal Bank, 9330 E. Gregory, Raytown, on April 24, 2014.

According to an affidavit filed in support of the original criminal complaint,

Morris entered the bank, approached the teller counter and provided the teller with a demand note, which was similar in verbiage to the following, “YOU KNOW WHAT THIS IS, HURRY UP, PUT THE MONEY IN THE BAG, NO FUNNY BUSINESS, HURRY UP.” The teller did not have access to any money, but walked over to another teller and showed her the demand note. The

second teller then provided Morris with $2,025, the indictment says. Morris allegedly put the stolen money in a manila envelope and fled the bank. The demand note was left behind.

On May 13, 2014, a witness told law enforcement officers that he recognized Morris from bank surveillance photos that were posted on a media Web site. A few minutes, Kansas City

police officers located Morris and Beeks, who were driving through the Westport area, and began surveillance.

On May 22, 2014, a federal search warrant was executed on the vehicle Beeks had been driving, which was at his residence. Morris was arrested the same day. Beeks was arrested today.

Dickinson cautioned that the charges contained in this

indictment are simply accusations, and not evidence of guilt. Evidence supporting the charges must be presented to a federal trial jury, whose duty is to determine guilt or innocence.

This case is being prosecuted by Special Assistant U.S. Attorney Leena V. Ramana. It was investigated by the FBI and the Kansas City, Mo., Police Department.

Raytown Students Attend Summer Academic Program At MU

By Diamond Dixon Four students from Raytown are among Missouri’s brightest high school students who recently attended the Missouri Scholars Academy (MSA) at the University of Missouri. Local Students who attended MSA were Yermeya “Zen” Bagunu from Raytown High School and Gordon Casey, Jacob Summers and Cody True from Raytown South High.

MSA began in 1985 and provides students opportunities to expand their educa-

tional and social skills. This year, students spent their time at Mizzou in intensive classroom settings, studying one of four individually selected subjects, including mathematics, science, social studies and humanities. Each Missouri high school nominated one junior-to-be for the academy; larger schools could nominate more students. Students at the academy represent nearly every county in the state.

“This is a special year for MSA because we are celebrating the 30th anniversary

of the program,” said Ted Tarkow, associate dean of the College of Arts and Science and director of MSA. “Students who come to MSA gain valuable educational experience that they would not gain otherwise while also interacting with peers who share their same interests.”

Outside the classroom, students were introduced to a series of activities, workshops and discussions by guest speakers. Students learned from experts in the fields of aeronautical engineering, global warming

Warning To All Libraries, The Offutts Are In Town

Two Joint Resolutions Certified For November 2014 Ballot

Jason Kander Secretary of State Jason Kander today announced that two joint resolutions have been certified for the November 2014 ballot. Both were referred to voters by the General Assembly.

The official ballot title for Constitutional Amend-

ment 6 (HJR 90) reads: Shall the Missouri Constitution be amended to permit voting in person or by mail for a period of six business days prior to and including the Wednesday before the election day in all general elections?

State governmental entities estimated startup costs of about $2 million and costs to reimburse local election authorities of at least $100,000 per election. Local election authorities estimated higher reimbursable costs per election.

Those costs will depend on the compensation, staffing, and, planning decisions of election authorities with the total costs being unknown.

The official ballot title for Constitutional Amendment 10 (HJR 72) reads:

Shall the Missouri Constitution be amended to require the governor to pay the public debt, to prohibit the governor from relying on revenue from legislation not yet passed when proposing a budget, and to provide a legislative check on the governor’s decisions to restrict funding for education and other state services?

State governmental entities expect no direct costs or savings. Local governmental entities expect an unknown fiscal impact.

The Missouri Constitution empowers the General Assembly to refer proposed constitutional amendments and general laws to voters.

The amendments will take effect if a majority of voters approve.

Jason Offutt The library was quiet, as it should be. That’s part of why I love libraries. It’s not just the fact that they’re big buildings full of books, they’re big buildings full of silence.

That is until my kids show up.

This time we stopped at the university library instead of the public library. I walk through my days with the fear that I’ll see our family picture next to the cash register of every business we enter. It’ll be thumbtacked to the wall under the handwritten sign, “Do NOT Serve These People.” I figured maybe it would help if we mixed up our routine.

If public libraries are quiet, college libraries during the summer are that special quiet reserved for uninhabited deserts, the Siberian tundra, and the Moon. The few heads that could turn did as the Boy and the Girl used their inside voic-

es, which normal people would call outside voices. Their outside voices have a decibel level somewhere between a farm tractor and a jet aircraft. Our neighbors love us.

“Shhh,” I hissed, like that would do any good. Today’s children, in general, have a selective listening problem, mainly because it’s now illegal to parent. “You’re in a library.

Act like you’ve seen a book.”

But libraries have more than books; you can find newspapers, magazines (periodicals always sounded so haughty), historical records, movies, people trying to study, and, in some cases, a Starbucks.

We were there for movies.

The Girl stood, hands on her hips, in front of a wall of DVDs and frowned.

“OK,” she said. “Where are the kid movies?”

She’s trouble, that one.

Public libraries caters to everyone, so movies are divided into children’s movies, and adult movies (not that kind of adult), so Disney films are easy enough to find. College libraries cater to students between the ages of 18 and 25, so “Frozen” might be a couple of movies down from “Fight Club.”

Hmm. I’ve never thought of this before, change a couple of scenes and they’re the same movie.

“They’re all mixed together,” I said. “Just look.”

She harrumphed, which she does pretty well for a second

grader, and turned toward the wall of movies.

The selection in a college library is eclectic. Everything from “The Battleship Potemkin” to the entire “X-Men” collection were stacked on the shelves. Suspiciously missing was “The Goonies”.

“Is this a kid’s movie?” the Girl asked, holding a copy of “Kill Bill: Vol. 1,” Uma Thurman brandishing a Samurai sword on the cover. Not sure she’s ready for Quentin Tarantino.

I slipped it out of her hand and put it back on the shelf.

“Not quite, honey.”

“Well, how about this?”

She held “World War Z”.

“Uh, no. That’s about zombies.”

She put it back on the shelf and held up another movie.

“Well, it was right next to ‘Wreck-It Ralph’. See? What kind of crazy place is this?”

We got out of there with “Tangled” for the Girl and “Star Trek Into Darkness” for the Boy. I tried to get a shot of whiskey, but the library doesn’t serve whiskey. Believe me, I asked.

Jason Offutt’s latest book, “Across a Corn-Swept Land: An epic beer run through the Upper Midwest,” is available at amazon. com. A native of Missouri, Jason currently teaches journalism at Northwest Missouri State University and has earned many humor writer awards throughout his career.

Grilled New York Strip This summer, skip the trips to expensive steakhouses and entice neighbors to your backyard with the mouthwatering aroma of sizzling steaks.

Award-winning grilling pros Chris Lilly and Tuffy Stone lend their expertise to help you create the most flavorful and tender steaks.

According to ten-time world champion pitmaster Chris Lilly, a hands-off strategy is the secret to a perfectly seared steak.

No matter what doneness level you’re aiming to achieve, resist the urge to flip steak more than once. This allows the exterior of the meat to crisp while the inside cooks evenly all the way through. Searing over high heat also helps to seal in flavor Lilly says, unlike gas grills charcoal can easily achieve temperatures of more than 800 degrees Fahrenheit to enhance the flavor profile of your steak.

“Being Diabetic, I never had pain-free feet - UNTIL NOW!”

Pain Doctor Discovers Blood Flow-Busting Material Into ‘Miracle Socks’ for Diabetics and Foot Pain Sufferers!

Breakthrough circulation-boosting fibers improve blood flow, relieve swelling, boost oxygen flow, and eliminate foot fatigue - naturally in as little as 5 minutes!

t What part of your swollen, tired, or achy feet would you like to see ‘go-away’?

If you suffer from poor circulation, injury, swelling or any condition that leaves your feet fatigued and sore, then read on to discover the breakthrough that can change your life.

Good news comes in the form of a ‘painbusting microfiber’ that is used to weave a circulation-boosting sock, called BambusaTM. Better Blood Flow The ‘miracle sock’ is made from a new, patented anion-technology that is weaved into every strand of thread used to make a BambusaTM sock. This revolutionary bamboo charcoal helps stimulate blood flow and revitalize feet.

The 3D-weave technology used in the material has been compared to infrared light therapy to help revitalize stiff and sore muscles. The manufacturer, who also makes a back and wrist sleeve, says the material provides almost instant relief to any part of the body it touches, making it ideal for diabetics, athletes, inflammation, stiffness and swelling.

Doctor Recommended Pain specialist of 30 years, Dr. Jahner comments on the 3D-weave technology. “Infrared therapy has been used for years at medical clinics to treat vascular and circulatory conditions.

Physical therapists use infrared therapy to speed recovery. Better blood flow equals less pain. This microfiber works much the same way.”

"Circulatory dysfunction affects MOST of the adult population in the United States.

Heart Disease, Strokes and Diabetic conditions are at epidemic levels; anything that improves circulation improves cellular health and vitality. I use the Bambusa product myself and recommend it to my clients. It really works!” states Dr Jahner.

Relief for Tired, Swollen Feet BambusaTM socks are not a medical device or compression socks because they don’t restrict blood flow. Utilizing the special negative-anion technology, they comfortably increase blood flow and oxygen to tissues.

“My feet felt wonderful, cool, and I never got that pins and needles feeling anymore. I love my BambusaTM socks,” says Nancy, from NJ. They are ideal for diabetics and those suffering from neuropathy or injury from repetitive use. BambusaTM socks can also bring comfort to tired legs within minutes of putting them on, energizing individuals who spend long hours on their feet.

Containers Expand Gardening Potential

By Charlene Farrell Raytown Garden Club Lack of space is no longer an excuse not to garden.

Container gardening is all the rage. Elevating the growing area makes it easier for people with movement issues, so anyone can do it.

Following these simple steps will allow you to have color and beauty wherever you want. Choose your location, container and plants and you’re ready to grow!

The first step is location, location, location!

Where do you want your container garden?

Is it sunny or shady? Would you like to grow herbs? You need it close to the kitchen door. Do you want a lovely bouquet to welcome you home, flowers on the deck or a container to brighten an empty space?

Knowing where you want your container determines what plants you will place in it.

Second, choose your container, preferably a large one. Clay pots allow the soil to breathe.

The new lightweight ones make

moving easier. You could recycle a box, watering can, or other salvageable container If there are no holes in the bottom, drill holes to allow excess water to escape. You can use coffee filters or newspaper to cover the holes, allowing the water to drain but leaving the soil in the pot. Use potting soil, not garden soil.

Next step is choosing your plants. You want one tall plant for the middle. Use vining plants around the rim to spill over the edge.

Select middle size, bushy or feathery plants to fill in.

Use your creativity when selecting colors.

If they look good together in your shopping cart, they will look good in the container. Select sunny or shade loving plants depending on where the container will be placed.

After you’ve gathered your container, plants and potting soil, you are ready to put your masterpiece together. Fill the container 3/4 full with potting soil.

Turn each plant over in your hands and tap or squeeze the bottom of the pot allowing

it to release. Never pull the plant out of the container by the stem. If the plant is root bound, loosen the root ball allowing the roots to grow out in all directions.

Pinching off some buds will allow energy to establish the roots and result in plentiful blooms later.

Place your tall plant in the middle of the pot, the trailing plants around the edge and your middle-size, bushy plants spaced evenly between. If your container will sit up against a background, put your tall plant in the back instead of the middle. Then fill in with more potting soil, leaving a half inch space to allow water to pool and not run off. Last step is to water your plants to eliminate air pockets.

One year I made a Salsa pot and a Marinara pot. In the pasta pot, I planted 2 Roma tomatoes, a green pepper and a jalapeno pepper, onions and cilantro.

In the Marinara pot, I planted a green pepper, a Roma and a beefsteak tomato, onions, garlic, and oregano.

Whenever I wanted to make

You can grow anything in a container.

Whether

you want beautiful flowers to welcome you and your friends to your front door, a special set of ingredients for your favorite dish or to fill an empty spot in your flower bed, choosing your location,

container and plants, along with a little elbow grease will help you enjoy these last few months of summer. Create some beauty or a peaceful place to enjoy your morning coffee.
