Summer Planting Guide 
Mulching garden beds with straw or compost helps retain soil moisture during summer. Compost adds nutrients to soil and allows it to retain water like a sponge. On extremely hot days, plants may need protection from heat such as shade cloth secured over a frame. Water plants individually and thoroughly, avoiding leaves of susceptible plants, and follow water restrictions. Weeds and pests compete with plants for resources, so remove weeds when small and observe for natural predators before using pesticides. Harvest crops regularly to encourage continued production and enjoy produce at its peak. The planting guide provides optimal sowing and transplanting months for various vegetables in the Canberra region.

Tall grass prairies are located between the Mississippi River and Nebraska. They receive between 10 to 30 inches of rain per year and have a growing season from late spring to early fall when temperatures are between 50 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit. The soil is dark brown or black and nutrient-rich due to the dense roots of the grasses. Native plants such as sunflowers, asters, and wildflowers have adaptations like deep roots and upright forms to compete for sunlight and water in the prairie environment. Animals such as bison, deer and rabbits also have adaptations like burrowing, traveling in herds, and thick winter coats. However, human impacts such as farming non-native plants have reduced tallgrass prairies

They grow best with dappled sunlight, moisture-retaining mulch or compost, and a humus-rich soil. Most native British ferns can tolerate frost but delicate species and those from warmer climates require winter protection. Ferns have low nutrient needs and prefer occasional bonemeal fertilizer to richer soils.

Xeriscape Conversion for Urban Water Conservation - Southern Nevada
This paper presents the results of a study conducted in Las Vegas, Nevada that quantified water savings from converting typical turf and shrub landscapes to xeriscapes. The study found that xeriscaped homes used 41% less water outdoors after converting at least 500 square feet of turf to xeriscaping. There was little relationship between the area xeriscaped and water savings, but a stronger relationship between pre-conversion irrigation intensity and post-conversion savings. This implies savings came from reducing wasteful irrigation on remaining turf as well as in xeriscaped areas.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

Xeriscaping with Herbs - Tucson Organic Gardeners
- 1. Xeriscaping with Herbs by Mary Sisson Eibs soiling our hands since 1971 I recently subscribed to a wonderful publication entitled "Potpourri from Herbal Acres". This newsletter is issued quarterly by Phyllis Shaudys. Those of you who read about herbs will recognize her as the author of The Pleasure of Herbs and Herbal Treasures. Each issue of her newsletter is filled with herbal information on subjects such as education, gardening, crafts, aromatherapy, cooking, and much more. I'll include ordering information at the end of this article. I mention this publication because in Vol. XV, Issue 1 I discovered an article on the use of herbs as xeriscape plants by Father Dominic Garramone, OSB. The article is entitled "Xeriscaping With herbs". Xeriscaping is the process of choosing plants which are compatible with the water conditions of a given area. This is especially important in the deserts of the southwest. The point is to minimize the amount of watering in your herb garden by approximately 30 - 80 %. Since many herbs are native to the hot, dry, rocky regions of the Mediterranean they are perfectly suited for a xeriscape design. Sage, rosemary, and thyme are examples of some herbs which require minimum amounts of water once established. Fr. Dominic's garden faces south and is surrounded by cement parking lots which creates an extremely hot area for gardening. Because he chooses his plants with these conditions in mind, he never waters his herb garden once the plants are established. Climates can vary widely from zone to zone in the United States. However xeriscaping is a valuable gardening alternative no matter where your garden is located. Many of you are xeriscaping to some extent right now simply by trial and error. My herb garden consists of primarily drought hardy plants and I watered about once every 2 weeks in the dead of the 1994 summer. I can't remember when I watered last this winter. How, you ask? Remember these two very important words- compost and mulch. We added about 20 cu. ft. of compost to a 5 x 12 foot area and topped it off with a 3" layer of mulch. I water with a 1/4" soaker hose which is buried beneath the mulch. The garden was dug about 23" deep and is mounded on all 4 sides to form a "bath tub". This garden should have been doomed to failure as it faces southwest, but it was lush and green all summer. It even thrives in the winter with much less sunlight and I've never covered it against the frost. Here is a list of some of the herbs and flowers Father Dominic suggests for xeriscaping with a few of my own additions. As gardeners, we must be acutely aware of the scarcity of water in our habitat. I hope that you will consider some of these drought hardy herbs when planning your spring herb garden. * Bee Balm * Lavender * Statice * Catnip * Marjoram * Sweet Alyssum * Chamomile * Oregano * Thyme * Evening Primrose (in pots only) * Rosemary * Straw Flowers * Globe Amaranth * Russian Sage * Native S.W.
