Do we have to separate you two? Best, worst companion plants for the garden

e gardeners spend so much time stressing over what our plants need that we often forget they grew just fine for millennia without us. Suppose we step back from our self-aggrandizing human nature and take our cues from actual nature instead?
That would save time, money and the environment by reducing the need for fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides — even garden stakes. Many plants coexist in either symbiotic or noncomplementary relationships. Native Americans noticed this centuries ago, and used their findings to take advantage of plants’ natural inclinations. Their “Three Sisters” method of growing corn, beans and squash together is perhaps the most well-known example of “companion planting,” a practice that puts plants to work to keep themselves and their neighbors healthy. The trio serve each other
well: As the squash spreads its large, prickly leaves over the ground, it provides shade to keep roots cool, suppresses weeds and discourages animal browsing. Corn grows upright to support the vining beans, which repay the debt by fixing nitrogen in the soil to fertilize all three plants. Like those beans, all legumes, such as peas, lentils, soybeans and peanuts, capture nitrogen from the air and convert it into a form that nourishes the soil — and the plants growing in it. At the end of the season, alfalfa or clover can be planted in cleared-out vegetable beds and turned over the follow-
ing spring to add valuable nutrients to the soil. Those nutrients reduce, and can even eliminate, the need for fertilizer during the growing season. Some plants deter insects or stave off disease. Basil, for instance, repels mites, aphids and mosquitoes, and has anti-fungal properties. It also repels tomato hornworms, proving it works just as hard in your garden as in your caprese salad. Tomatoes pay it forward by protecting asparagus from beetles, and roses from black spot, an often-deadly fungal disease. But keep tomatoes away from potatoes, cabbage
and fennel, which would stunt their growth. Nasturtiums, on the other hand, improve the flavor of their tomato and squash neighbors. French and African marigolds exude a chemical that repels many insects and outright kills nematodes, parasitic eelworms that damage the roots of vegetable and fruit crops. Chrysanthemums produce
pyrethrins, natural chemicals that repel ticks, fleas, mosquitoes, flies and other insects so well that they’ve been emulated to create synthetic pyrethroids, which are sold as herbicides and insect repellents. Why treat your plants with laboratory-made chemicals when their inspiration is naturally available — and doesn’t carry a warning label? SEE COMPANION, PAGE F3

Columbine flowers take flight in garden
C Our native columbine pops up, and is welcome, in all sorts of places, against a terrace wall in this case. (LEE REICH PHOTO)
OLUMBINE FLOWERS seem destined for flight. They hover above the plants’ leaves, tethered to the ground by a slender stalk. Even the form of the blossoms — petals flaring forward, then tapering to the rear in a long-pointed spur — resembles a shooting star or fireworks. Perhaps it was this volant quality that induced women of a century ago to dangle the freshly picked flowers, attached to thin hoops of
gold, from their ears as earrings. Our native Canadian Columbine (Aquilegia canadensis) is among the daintiest of columbines. Its flowers would make delightful earrings. The flowers are small and bright, with yellow petals shading to orange at the spurs. The flowers, appearing in early spring, are the earliest columbines to bloom. Another small columbine is the Alpine Columbine (A. alpina). This species usually has blue flowers, though sometimes
they are pale or white. Gardeners inclined to tawdriness might choose a hybrid variety like “McKana’s Giants,” for enormous flowers, or “Nora Barlow,” for double flowers. In my opinion, the double flowers obscure the quintessential shape of columbine flowers. Similarly, I do not care for varieties of Fan Columbine (Aquilegia flabellata) which have spurless flowers. If spurs characterize a columbine

A-frame cabin is dream come true
F YOU’VE EVER DREAMED of having a vacation home — a private retreat away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life — but dismissed it as impossible, you’re in for a pleasant surprise. It’s not as difficult as you might think to make that dream a reality, even on a budget. All it takes is “sweat equity,” time and this do-it-yourself A-frame cabin project. Standing on concrete piers to simplify construction and allow for variability of terrain, the project has more than 1,100 square feet of living space (not including the extensive decks and porches). Downstairs there’s a kitchen, bathroom, large living room and small bedroom. Upstairs, a big loft holds a roomy, dormitory-style bedroom.The cabin measures about 36 feet long by 22 feet wide at the foundation.

flower, then the Rocky Mountain Columbine (A. caerulea) and A. longissima (sorry, no common name) are the most “columbine-ic.” Spurs of A. longissima trail backwards 4 to 6 inches. Flowers of A. longissima are pale yellow, while those of the Rocky Mountain Columbine usually are blue and white. At the other extreme in spur length, in addition to the previously mentioned, sometimes spurless Fan Columbine, is the Granny’s Bonnet (A. vulgaris) which has blue or violet flowers and short spurs. I could go on, for there are about 65 species of columbines. Since all these species interbreed promiscuously, there are many hybrid forms, some of which are natural hybrids and others of which are the result of intentional breeding. With the exception of the somewhat stocky Fan Columbine, all columbines have light, airy foliage. Each leaf is composed of three fan-like leaflets which resemble those of the maidenhair fern. The

Do-it-yourselfers should review local building codes before construction begins. Please include $3.95 for postage and handling on all orders and allow about two weeks for delivery.

soft mounds of columbine foliage not only enhance the grace and airiness of the flowers hovering overhead, but are attractive in the garden in their own right. Columbines are easy to grow. They’re not choosy as to soil and thrive in full sun or partial shade. The plants, though classified as perennials, often die out after a few years, but new plants are easily propagated by division of old plants in late summer, or by sowing seed. The seeds may need special treatment before they will
germinate, for they lapse into dormancy with age. This dormancy can be broken with a cold treatment, which is a good idea unless you are sure the seed is fresh. To treat, sow the seed in a flat, water, then put the flat in a plastic bag in the refrigerator. Take the flat out of the refrigerator in a month or so, and the seeds then should germinate within a couple of weeks. Don’t be intimidated by the extra step needed in sowing columbine seeds.

self-sow around established columbine plants are testimony to the ease with which their seeds, especially fresh seeds, germinate. Such seedlings, incidentally, can be transplanted to other parts of the garden. But remember, if the mother plants are hybrids, the seedlings that grow from these
plants will not be hybrids. They will be different, though not necessarily inferior, to the parents. Any gardening questions? Email them to me at garden@ leereich.com and I’ll try answering them directly or in this column. Come visit my garden at leereich.com/blog.

Happy July 4th Ger with his two eldest daughters, Maeve and Molly.
OPEN LETTER TO AMERICA Aboard an Aer Lingus flight to JFK in 1981, with a dream and $80 in my pocket did I think I would be taking out full page ads expressing my gratitude to a country that took me in and offered me an opportunity to raise a family and build a company? Nope. I just wanted to make it through immigration and then find a bed for the night at a youth hostel in a Manhattan brownstone (my first new American word). For almost 10 of the last 40 years these open letters to America have been a public expression of my gratitude and a chance to highlight some of the people that make this country so wonderful - inspirational people that embody the fabric of this great nation.
One of the many meetings that Ruth and Harmony House hosted at the Yankee Home Headquarters.
Officer Jim Barrett in his decked out bomb squad truck helping out his clients in the unhoused community.
Ruth Willemain, who recently passed, and Officer Jim Barrett are two of these inspirational individuals who I have been honored TM to call my friends. Ruth stopped by Yankee in 2018 to request assistance to complete her dream of building a home called Harmony House for people without means to live out the last few days of their lives comfortably and with dignity. For years she volunteered in hospice, holding the hands of people as they passed who had no family or friends to be by their side. Harmony House would take shape using Yankee Home’s offices as a base for their building committee and up until recently their board meetings. Watching Ruth and ordinary Americans step up to make this five bedroom home a reality is truly awe-inspiring. Ruth and her volunteers embody all that is good in this country. Ordinary, selfless and unassuming Americans coming together to do good. Ruth will be missed. After serving his country in Iraq, Jim Barrett returned to join the Hartford, CT police force. Featured on CNN and Fox, Officer Jim refurbished an old bomb squad truck that he uses to become a hero to Hartford’s homeless population. Rather than following Ger his two daughters, and Molly.money at a problem, he offers food, clothing, supplies and most importantly the with mistakes of eldest inner city leadersMaeve and throwing advice on how to get out of the situation they find themselves in. I have witnessed firsthand the respect that the homeless community has for Jim and his tough love that has resulted in numerous success stories. He doesn’t want to perpet-uate the problem; he wants to solve it. His 19 years on the force, building trust in a distrustful world, and his daily dedication to his clients are remarkable. Google him and you will see the lives he has saved. I write this as Father’s Day approaches and would be remiss if I didn’t mention how proud I am of my eldest daughter who serves on the board of Harmony House and helps run Yankee Home’s construction department, along with her sister Maeve who just published her third motivational book for teenagers entitled It’s the Confidence for Me. Couldn’t THANK YOU AMERICA SPECIAL be prouder. This immigrant’s view of America remains unchanged.

Indoor plants can boost your mood Houseplants do more than just look nice By Lala Tanmoy Das
The Washington Post
When Hannan Braun felt stressed at work, he would treat himself to a houseplant. “At one point, I think I had well over a hundred plants,” said Braun, who lived in a studio apartment and was working on the front lines of the pandemic in Boston, “but it never looked cluttered or felt like I had too many.” For Braun, indoor plants have been a lifeline for dealing with the stress of medical training during the pandemic. Surrounding himself with lush greenery always calmed him down, he said, and helped him feel rejuvenated. “Different properties of plants, such as how they look, smell and feel, impact us in so many ways,” said Mengmeng Gu, an associate professor of horticultural sciences at Texas A&M University. “They can feel good to the touch, make a space more fragrant and please our eyes.” But how and why do plants have such positive effects on us? Here’s a look at research over the past few decades that has shown how houseplants affect our psychological and physical health. People and plants are naturally connected. Humans have an inherent connection to plants and other living things, according to what’s known as the biophilia hypothesis, an idea popularized in 1984 by naturalist and writer E.O. Wilson. Since then, more than three decades of research spanning the globe have confirmed the hypothesis and shown that natural environments have a sizable effect on increasing positive emotions and decreasing negative ones. “When people state the common belief that being in nature relaxes them, that it helps them recover from
stress and tragedy, that it’s a healing process to be in nature, we now know there’s a solid basis for that,” Wilson said in a 2015 interview with The Washington Post. And when people started spending more time indoors, we brought in pieces of the natural world to continue feeling connected. Plants can quickly improve mood. Our connection to plants is so strong that sometimes it takes only a few minutes of being in their presence to start feeling better. Studies have found that less than 20 minutes is enough to make us feel more at peace. In one experiment, participants who spent even five to 10 minutes in a room with a few houseplants felt happier and more satisfied than those in a room without plants. In another study, participants felt more peaceful and positive after spending 15 minutes in a room close to a tall plant (about 5 feet) compared with other objects. However, Gu reminds us that “it is not only seeing a plant that improves our mood so quickly, but the smells can also make a huge difference,” although studies on plants’ effects on nonvisual senses are limited. Plants bring relief in enclosed spaces. If you are stuck in an office or other small space for hours at a time, plants can bring about feelings of escape. In a study SEE PLANTS, PAGE F10

HIS SILVER ON COPper “bisquit jar” is a classic Victorian piece. It uses an old spelling for “biscuit,” a British-English term. In present day American English, we would call it a cookie jar. Silver and silver plate were popular in the Victorian era. Almost every type of food had its own specific serving dish or utensil made of silver. “Old Sheffield” refers to a special kind of silver plate made in Sheffield, England, in the 18th century. The silver was hand-rolled in sheets over copper. Most silver plate made in the 19th century is electroplated. This jar may not be Old Sheffield silver, but it was made in the city of Sheffield.

30-year US mortgage rate climbs to 5.23% By Kathy Orton
The Washington Post
After wandering lower the past four weeks, mortgage rates sharply reversed course this week. According to the latest data released Thursday by Freddie Mac, the 30-year fixed-rate average increased for the first time in a month, climbing to 5.23% with an average 0.9 point. (A point is a fee paid to a lender equal to 1% of the loan amount. It is in addition to the interest rate.) It was 5.09% the previous week and 2.96% a year ago. Freddie Mac, the federally chartered mortgage investor, aggregates rates from about 80 lenders across the country to come up with weekly national averages. The survey is based on home purchase mortgages. Rates for refinances may be different. It uses rates for high-quality borrowers with strong credit scores and large down payments. Because of the criteria, these rates are not available to every borrower. The 15-year fixed-rate average rose to 4.38% with an average 0.8 point. It was 4.32% the previous week and 2.23% a year ago. The fiveyear adjustable-rate average jumped to 4.12% with an average 0.3 point. It was 4.04% the previous week and 2.55% a year ago. Mortgage rates mirrored “the rebound in the 10-year Treasury, which crested [at] 3% mid-week,” George Ratiu, senior economist and manager of economic research at Realtor.com, wrote in an email. “Investors have their eyes on the Consumer Price Index, expecting to see continued gains but at a moderating pace. The data will be an important measure for the Federal Reserve at its meeting next week.”

conducted during pandemic stay-at-home orders, participants who had indoor plants experienced significantly fewer symptoms of depression and anxiety than those who did not. Being surrounded by houseplants led to feelings of “being away” from social or physical demands. Plants can reduce stress. Other studies have shown that interacting with plants suppresses the system in our bodies that gets activated when we sense distress signals. Young adults in one study who spent a few minutes repotting and transplanting an indoor plant reported feeling a lot less stressed at the end of the task compared with peers engaged in a computer-based activity. In addition, blood pressure measurements were much lower among people who handled plants, suggesting that plants have the potential to mellow the body’s fight-or-flight response. Plants can recharge us. “Plants also have a huge restorative capacity,” said Melinda Knuth, an assistant professor of
Antiques
horticultural science at North Carolina State University. “Whether it’s outdoors like in a yard or indoors with houseplants, nature can help us feel recharged and grounded.” When we focus on demanding activities for a long time, such as our jobs, it can lead to mental fatigue and negative emotions that can affect how well we can pay attention. Seeing a plant in this situation can provide a spark of interest, redirect our attention, and restore our depleted mental and physical resources, an idea known as attention restoration theory. Studies have found that the plant-induced “restoration” effect has a wide reach: renewing positive emotions and increasing productivity, creativity and attention capacity. How do you choose what houseplants to buy? Research can provide some practical guidance: • Number of plants: Although there is no magic number, having five or more foliage plants can increase positive emotions. For example, in one study, participants in a room with bamboo palms, Chinese evergreens and heart-leaf philodendrons (five in total) felt more carefree and friendly
minutes felt more relaxed and comfortable than those looking at artificial ones. Gu’s point about mood effects beyond visual cues may help explain these findings. • Placement: Although research on this is sparse, some studies suggest that having plants closer than 10 feet to a person has a positive mood effect. A study by Knuth of North Carolina State shows that most people put houseplants in living rooms, bedrooms and sometimes kitchens.
