COMMENTARY: What the drought means to Concord's plants, animals

The combination of low rainfall and sunny, hot days has dried out Concord’s landscape, baking the soil, exposing the shores of Walden Pond and reducing the flows of streams and springs. What does this mean for the plants and animals? Many observers have noted that lawns and unwatered playing fields are brown — grasses are not able to survive the drought. Numerous shrubs and trees in yards and along streets have died or their branches have withered. In the Walden Woods, the forest has an autumn look as the leaves of the black birch trees turn yellow and drop off from drought stress. In open spots, wildflowers like goldenrod and aster have drooping leaves and have stopped producing new flowers. Even if the rains resume, these plants are finished for the year. For vegetable gardeners, the hot weather is good for tomatoes and beans, but only for gardeners willing to water their plants several times a week, like Eric Nelson who grows heirloom tomatoes at the Hugh Cargill Community Garden. The Barrett Mill Farm can survive the drought because it irrigates using its own water supply. However, commercial farmers who rely solely on rain will face a dismal harvest. Many of Concord’s agricultural fields are simply dried up and desolate, with stunted corn stalks and wilted pumpkin plants. Throughout the region, the crop of apples and other fruits is poor, due the combination of summer dr... (Wicked Local Concord)

Groundnut has odd flowers, can be eaten

Native Americans and colonists for food. Henry David Thoreau poetically wrote about his experiences with groundnut at Walden Pond. He described its “crumpled red velvety blossom” and recorded the tubers have “a sweetish taste, much like that of a frost-bitten potato, and I found it better boiled than roasted.” Groundnut tubers may be eaten raw or cooked. As a garden plant, groundnut can be aggressive and spread readily, popping up where you may not want it and twining into shrubs and perennials where it is hard to remove. If you want to grow it in your garden, grow it in a large pot or barrel or in an area off by itself. It is easy to grow from seeds. With breeding and selection, perhaps this interesting plant will one day become a domesticated food crop and assume a place of honor along with corn, pecans, muscadines and other New World offerings.

Decor goes tropical this summer

Blanche even had that famous palm wallpaper in her bedroom.” For her Nashville, Tennessee-based studio, Peacoquette Designs, Sarah Walden has created a striking palm-leaf print. With the leaves printed on a teal blue background, the design has a historical vibe. On a coral/pink background, it looks more midcentury modern. It’s available on several different fabrics, or as wallpaper. (www.spoonflower.com) A palm-printed pillow can freshen a sofa or chair. You’ll find a collection of throw pillows and shower curtains with big, bold palm-leaf prints at H&M Home. (www.hm.com) Add a few inexpensive rattan pieces; the textures contrast nicely with contemporary furniture’s trim lines, and bring homey charm to more bohemian spaces. Rattan also works as a foil for both bright and neutral hues. Pottery Barn’s Beachcomber collection includes sea grass, rattan and abaca fibers woven into chunky baskets. (www.potterybarn.com) A little rattan bar cart is part of Target’s summer Threshold collection. (www.target.com) For color beyond foliage green, consider sultry hues like orchid, banana and passion fruit. Go beachy with a palette of tans, creams and grays. Overstock.com has Tommy Bahama’s Tropical Hibiscus throw pillow and a chic white pineapple table lamp. Flamingo-printed sheets bring the theme into the bedroom, and the pink bird struts across a preppy-striped rug. Kate D. Spain, based in Bridgeport, Connecticut, has designed a woodblock print incorporating exotic blooms, leaves and vines. The limited edition artwork comes in ocean-y hues of turquoise, blue and violet. (www.shopkatespain.com) Antique scarf prints of tropical flowers and birds have been reproduced as canvas wall art at Pottery Barn. And Grandin Road has a set of four vintage-style parrot illustrations for wall art. (www.grandinroad.com) ... (West Hawaii Today)
