Lamb used peel-and-stick paper in a spare room. “I chose a bold green leaf pattern and it looked as if a professional had installed it. Four months later, I realized it was a bit too wild for me and removed it with no issues,” she says.

• Peel-and-stick tiles and flooring Thicker vinyl-sheet products you can trim to fit are popular for creating faux-tile kitchen and bath backsplashes and floors, Berliet says. Not only have the aesthetics improved to the point that the tiles and grout look like the real deal, but the laminated coating makes it water-resistant and durable.

Planting plantain: It’s not what you think

M

Y FRIEND BOB would shudder if he knew that I planted plantain today. Not that Bob is such as fastidious gardener; he’s not a gardener at all. Like many homeowners, though, Bob loves his lawn, especially in spring. And plantain — the weed — is one of the banes of his lawn, along with grubs and their attendant skunks.

Of course, I wasn’t planting just any old plantain. I’m growing plantain-the-saladgreen. This plantain is a different species than the ones that invade Bob’s lawn.

Like its weedy relatives, plantain-the-salad-green comes from Europe. Records there indicate that humans have enjoyed munching on it since the 16th century.

If it is to become popular here, this salad green will undoubtedly need a new name, something that is more pleasant sounding and that distinguishes it from plantain-the-weed and from plantain-the-tropical-fruit, a close relative of banana.

After all, how popular were avocados when they were known as alligator pears?

Some of salad plaintain’s European monikers, such as corne-de-cerf, star-of-theearth or, in Italian, erba stella, have a nice ring to them.

As might be expected of

a close relative of plantainthe-weed, plantain-the-salad-green is easy to grow. The plants tolerate cold weather as well as warm weather, a trait shared by kale, collards, and Swiss chard, but few other greens. Hence, plantain-the-salad-green can be sown early spring, summer, or even late summer.

I plant the tiny seeds in long furrows and then harvest by slicing the tops off plants in a different part of the row each time with a knife; new leaves sprout quickly. Even when plantainthe-salad-green gets old, though, it retains its good flavor and texture.

Mention of flavor and texture begs the question: What does plantain-the-salad-green taste like? Is this another “survival” food?

No, plantain-the-saladgreen is pleasant eating, with texture overshadowing flavor because of the latter’s mildness. The leaves grow in a low whorl just like those of plantain-the-weed, but are narrow and refreshingly crunchy. Even the flower spikes retain that pleasant crunchiness.

Bite into the raw leaves of plantain-the-weed, in contrast, and you’ll instead end up with a mouthful of strings from the tough veins lining each leaf. Plantain-the-weed

has been eaten, but as a boiled potherb.

Bob and some readers may still have some trepidation about deliberately planting a near-weed. Plantain-the-salad-green is, admittedly, not far removed from the wild.

Larger size and increased succulence of cultivated plants come not from breeding, but from their being planted in rich, moist garden soil.

Still, fear not. First of all, plantain-the-salad-green is an annual. Plantain-theweed has much more opportunity to firmly establish itself and spread because it is a hardy perennial. And second, despite repeatedly finding its way across the Atlantic as an accidental tourist in ships’ holds, plantain-the-salad-green has never ventured out into the wild here.

Given the long history of animosity between Bob and

plantain, I’ll have to give him a taste of plantain-the-saladgreen before I tell him what it is. Not being a gardener, he still won’t plant it, but he’ll at least understand why I did. He may even be inspired to boil up and eat some of the plantain-the-weed he

• Gallery walls Don’t limit yourself to framed pictures. You can hang an arrangement of hats, clocks, mirrors or cherished mementos. The beauty of a gallery wall is you don’t need to measure or be super precise in your placement, but can arrange objects to please your aesthetic, says Berliet. Use masking tape, Command hooks or tiny nails (if allowed) to hang your items.

As with adhesive wallpaper, stick-on tiles work best over a flat surface so the adhesive can touch every spot. And new technology makes it simple to remove. Use water or a hair dryer to get rid of excess residue.

• Floating floor For temporary flooring, Elliott suggests interlocking cork squares over wood. By fitting the squares tightly from wall to wall, the floor should stay in place without the use of adhesive. Another temporary option to cover any smooth surface is carpet tiles. Elliott uses Flor tiles in her home office. The large carpet squares stick to one another and not the floor itself.

• Adhesive strips and hooks No longer relegated to college dorms, the 3M Command Hook has become a go-to product for those who need hangers that can be repositioned or removed without leaving holes or sticky residue on walls, doors or cabinets. Some new versions will hold up to eight pounds.

Both Elliott and Lamb suggest heavy-duty Command hooks and a dowel or curtain rod to hang lightweight curtains or fabric panels over less-than-attractive windows or unsightly blinds.

“The Freddie Mac interest rate for a 30-year loan slid again this week,” said Danielle Hale, chief economist at Realtor.com. “Long-term bond rates, which shifted from a gradual climb to an accelerated one in early 2021, have done an about-face since mid-March due to the [Federal Reserve’s] patient approach to monetary policy. This has given investors confidence that the Fed won’t push rates up too quickly.”

The yield on the 10-year Treasury fell to its lowest level in more than a month this week, dropping to 1.57 percent on

Wednesday.

“After a sustained sell-off in 2021’s first quarter, demand for Treasurys has increased recently, keeping downward pressure on yields and thus mortgage rates,” said Matthew Speakman, a Zillow economist. “Continuing a recent trend, yields showed little regard for strong economic data reports released last week.”

Even though mortgage rates have fallen the past three weeks, Speakman doesn’t expect the slide to last.

“Despite another weekly downtick, the longer-term trend for mortgage rates remains to the upside and barring a significant economic or pandemic-related setback, it’s unlikely that this downward movement in rates will continue for an extended period,” he said.

Can you picture a face on a pitcher?

S

ILVER-PLATED pitchers were made

by Reed & Barton, a company founded in Taunton in 1822. The pitchers look like the double-faced stoneware pitchers made by the Martin Brothers in England between 1875 and 1915. Similar pitchers were also made by Royal Doulton.

The silver examples are known as “Sunny Jim.” Many figural pitchers, steins and mugs had names that were used in advertising brochures. The silver pitchers were pictured in magazine ads in the 1920s and ’30s.

They were discontinued in the 1950s but may have been made until the 1980s.

Three slightly different versions were made with different rims. These are probably the first two types of the pitchers. The third variant, which was probably at the end of the production, has a handle with a higher curve that was attached to the rim only at the outermost area of the scroll.

written in red was used by the Reinhold Schlegelmilch porcelain factory from the 1880s to 1917. Schlegelmilch opened a factory in Suhl, Prussia, in 1869. A second factory was opened in Tillowitz, Silesia (now Poland), in 1894 this mark was used on some of the porcelain made there.

Much of the porcelain made in Tillowitz was exported to the U.S. Exports peaked about 1905. When World War I broke out, production in Suhl stopped, but production in Tillowitz continued. The Polish government took over the factory in 1945.

The R.S. Prussia star and wreath mark has been copied and used on reproductions and fakes since the 1960s.
