The mission: Train Afghans to take over
Exercises prepare Marines to teach police and army units
By the numbers
Latest information from the Brookings Institution Afghanistan Index:
• U.S. troops in Afghanistan — 94,000, up from 52,100 last year
• Afghan security forces on duty — 223,847, up from 137,710 in 2008
• U.S. trainers embedded with the Afghan army in 2009: 1,175 (2,663 needed)
• U.S. mentors embedded with Afghan police: 1,060 (2,376 needed)
• U.S. aid for Afghan army — $14.23 billion from 2002-2009
• U.S. aid for Afghan police — $7.02 billion from 2002-2009
• Monthly pay for an Afghan soldier: $165
The Marines and the Afghan security team greeted the old men with tidings of peace. They crowded into the foyer, negotiating for permission to question some suspicious characters peering from the upstairs windows. Then, an explosion rocked the apartment building.
"Move up, move up!" shouted Lance Cpl. Luke Swihart, the infantry team leader, as the international cadre of military and police forces piled toward the stairwell.
An Afghan soldier charged ahead, but a policeman near the front of the pack hesitated. A Marine had to shove the reluctant patrolman up the steps.
In reality, the Afghan soldiers and police officers, like the women walking the village's dirt alleys in burqas, were actors participating in a recent training exercise at Camp Pendleton. Their role in the mock Afghan village was to help troops from the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force prepare for perhaps their most important mission in Afghanistan: training Afghan security forces to protect their own people.
Embedded Training Teams of Marines and squads of troops from each battalion with the force headquartered at Camp Pendleton spend two to 10 weeks preparing to live and work alongside Afghan security forces. How successful they are at training their Afghan counterparts could determine the endgame of the nearly nine-year conflict and the long-term prospects for the country's stability.
"That's the way we're going to leave Afghanistan is to have a security force that the Afghan people have faith in. As long as there is doubt in their capability to provide security, they will be looking for an alternative," said Lt. Col. Glen Lewis, 39, the operations officer for the Camp Pendleton training cell.
It is a familiar formula most recently applied by the U.S. military in Iraq: Help the local security forces stand up, so they may stand down. But taking a back seat doesn't always come easily to gung-ho Marines, Lewis added. "The way Marines are trained, if something happens, we take charge. Here, they're learning to take a step back and let them lead. To say, hey, they got it."
The U.S. military is under the gun to train the Afghan forces in double time as public support wanes and President Barack Obama's provisional deadline looms to begin withdrawing U.S. combat forces by July 2011.
This month in Brussels, Army Gen. Stanley McChrystal said that in the year since he took command of U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan, the number of Afghan national security forces has jumped from about 150,000 to 230,000.
Despite a shortfall of 450 trainers as the U.S. military is forced to shoulder the burden among increasingly skittish NATO allies, the Pentagon reported in April that the Afghan security forces are on track to reach 171,600 national soldiers and 134,000 police by October 2011.
But the rapid expansion of Afghan security forces has been accompanied by ongoing complaints of widespread corruption and ineptitude, particularly among the police. In addition to off-the-books officers hired by warlords and power brokers, the force also has to cope with "ghost police" who quit but remain on the rolls. Buying promotions is common, and at least 60 percent of new recruits were put to work with no training.

Twitter Users Come Together to Work on Power Cut Infographicdocument Distributed Knowledge
Crowdsourcing, or getting a large group of people to provide data on a particular subject, has been a rage ever since the web went social.
Web's Largest listing of crowdsourcing and crowdfunding events
2,968 crowdsourcing and crowdfunding sites
Crowdsourcing, or getting a large group of people to provide data on a particular subject, has been a rage ever since the web went social.
Software engineer Ajay Kumar set up Power Cuts in India in May 2011 using the Ushahidi platform to track power outages in the country and display them on an interactive Google map. The data is...
PowerCuts.IN is an initiative to crowdsource information about Power Cuts in India. The project aims to crowdsource, primarily from twitter and other mediums like Mobile Web, SMS, Smartphone Apps,...
Over the past few years, the Foundation has backed a number of crowd-powered projects and startups, and this year is no different. Earlier this month, the organization backed its latest 22 projects; each one received $35,000 in seed funding. Looking at the winners, two themes emerge: data and crowdsourcing.
Through crowdfunding, 33Needs, along with other platforms like KIVA, Funding Circle, and UnLtd, are changing the way social enterprise is funded.
These platforms offer more efficient capital movement than traditional funding sources, and are able to significantly scale the social impact because, according to Josh Tetrick, Founder and CEO of 33Needs, it inherently builds up a community of people that become supporters since it creates a connectedness that is not possible through venture capital and angel investors. The investor is excited about his or her investment and will work hard to spread the word and raise awareness through social media and their own personal network.
Consider this post your gateway to several hours worth of valuable information on the emergence of high-quality, managed crowdsourcing to serve enterprises of all sizes, with Lionbridge, Crowdsourcing.org, massolution, and SIG as your hosts.
In this edition: what entrepreneurs can learn from crowdfunding; Virginia governor signs crowdfunding bill; crowdsourcing Alberta's butterflies; and a look at the state of the sharing economy in Boston.

Wonderful wraps, shakes, and muffins!Posted on 02 / 24 / 2011
I lived in Buenos Aires from January to July of 2010 and had a lot of difficulty eating out because I am vegan. But once I discovered Pura Vida, I started eating there every single day...sometimes twice a day. I usually went for the Mediterranean Wrap with tofu, and delicious vegan muffins (if there were any left by the time I got there!) They also serve chicken and fish I think, so meat eaters can be satisfied as well. I dragged all of my friends to Pura Vida and all of them ended up loving it and wanting to go back with me. The smoothies are delicious...I recommend the Duranzo Dreams! The staff is very friendly and speaks english, or will find someone who does if you need it. The only negative thing is that as of mid 2010, they were still using styrofoam cups for drinks. But they offer a discount if you bring your own cup, so do that! I would give Pura Vida a 5 star rating but happycow only allows a rating of 4 for non-vegetarian restaurants.
Cons: styrofoam cups

Oklahoma City Thunder: Caron Butler solid in first OKC appearance
Caron Butler planted himself in the left corner, a bit out of the fray, as a way to ease himself into his first possession with the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Not happening.
As Kevin Durant drove toward the lane, sucking in the defense, he deftly fired a cross-court line drive, hitting Butler with what should have been an open look.
But instead, it drilled an unsuspecting Butler right in the arm.
Welcome to life in Oklahoma City, where a 7-footer passes like a point guard and opposing defenses are forced to lock all their attention on two of the world's most dynamic scorers.
"I was like, 'Oh, wow,'" Butler said. "So that's something to look forward to from here on out, knowing that when he comes off the pick and rolls and that side tags in, be there and be ready to shoot the ball."
That was just a small part of Butler's first learning experience, a successful one, during the Thunder's 125-92 win over Philadelphia.
Butler entered to a raucous standing ovation, from a crowd he compared to his college days at UConn.
"That was unbelievable," Butler said. "I didn't expect that. I didn't know how to feel."
From there, he had some rough patches.
Butler went 1-of-4 from the field and understandably looked lost at times, playing his first NBA game in two weeks and his first minutes under Scott Brooks' system, just two days after meeting the coach.
"I'm sure he was practicing and I'm sure he was staying in shape," Brooks said. "But it's not the same as playing NBA minutes."
But even in a spotty effort, Butler showed flashes of what he can give this Thunder team.
Just a few minutes after entering, OKC called for an isolation on the left block. Butler turned, faced up and knocked down a smooth 15-footer.
At the start of the second quarter, he showed what he can do on the other end.
Less than a minute after swatting Eric Maynor on a layup attempt, Butler raced back and picked off a Sixers pass, logging his first block and steal in OKC.
And in the second half, he ran a pair of pretty pick and rolls with Nick Collison, one leading to an assist and the other leading to two free throws.
"He went out there and played basketball the right way," Brooks said. "If he had a shot, he took it, if he had a pass, he passed it. And we have to continue to add that mentality to our team."
In all, Butler categorized it as a special night.
He was upbeat throughout the game, smiling after big plays, chatting with his new teammates, instructing Jeremy Lamb during timeouts and enjoying a pair of Hasheem Thabeet buckets.
"I had a good time, as long as we win, I'm good," Butler said. "I hadn't won in a month, so that felt good to get that win."
Quite a difference from Milwaukee.

What Can My Local Boot Camp Offer?
People sometimes feel that improving health and fitness is virtually impossible. This, however, is not true; everyone can be healthy. Change a few things in your life to form a regular fitness routine, this will help you get into shape.
Before and after you work out, make sure that you stretch your limbs properly. Perform each stretch for at least thirty seconds. If you are unsure how to stretch, ask a licensed health professional, or consult an online website on the subject. When you stretch properly, you break up the lactic acid stored in your muscles and prevent soreness.
Hatha yoga practice is an excellent path to fitness. By performing the Hatha yoga Sun Salutation, anyone can enjoy 15 minutes to half an hour of gentle stretching, deep breathing, and quiet focus every day. This physical form of yoga relaxes the mind, strengthens and stretches the muscles, and loosens the joints. Performing the Hatha yoga Sun Salutation first thing in the morning and just before bed will make a big difference in your fitness level!
Safely Perform Crunches
Be careful to protect your neck when doing a fitness program that involves crunches. One way to reduce strain on your neck when doing crunches is to hold your tongue at the roof of your mouth. This aligns your neck and makes it easier to do the crunches.
A good tip to help you get fit is to stick with whole wheat foods. Avoid things like white bread and white rice, and instead opt for whole wheat bread and brown rice. Whole wheat bread and brown rice are more nutritious and give you long lasting energy.
Incorporate Bike Riding
Bike riding is a wonderful past time for many Americans. When they think of riding bikes, they think of wonderful memories from childhood. Riding a bicycle can also be a wonderful activity for any adult trying to lose weight. You will work up a sweat while on a bike ride, and be able to lose many calories-all while having a good time.
Keep records
You should keep track of all of the calories you're consuming on a daily basis. It's one thing to work out to get into shape, but monitoring your diet also takes a toll in how fast you get fit. You have to work hard at getting into shape by exercising both your body and regulating your eating habits.
How You Look Works Better Than A Scale to Measure Progress
In order to keep motivated on their weight loss program, most people need to see immediate results. Instead of stepping on the scales, keep some tight-fitting clothes around. You will know how much you are changing if you make a habit of trying these clothes on from time to time.
Work Your Core
You can do more than traditional abdominal exercises to build great abs. Dead-lifts and squats are shown to build ab muscles. Studies have shown that by doing these two exercises your abdominal muscles are forced to do a lot of work in order to maintain your posture while exercising.
Occasionally Push Beyond Your Comfort Zone
One great way to improve your fitness is to periodically do an exercise session, or a series of sessions, in which you purposefully work to exceed your usual limits or capacity by doing a high intensity or volume of exercise. If this period of exercise is followed by a period of rest, it can result in great fitness gains.
Cross Train
Improve your basketball dribbling skills by practicing dribbling with gloves. Leather or canvas gloves work best. The glove's thickness causes your fingertips to become more sensitive to touch so that you can have better hand control of a ball when the gloves are removed from your hands. You can even achieve ball handling mastery this way.
Do More In Less Time
You can cut your workout time down by doing your exercises in less time. About 10% less time to be more specific. Doing this will cause your muscles to have to work much harder and it will also help improve your endurance. Start doing this by cutting down your workout sessions by about 3 minutes.
Although reaching your fitness goals will take hard work, in the end it will be worth it. Improving fitness levels will improve your health and help you look and feel much better. Becoming fit can help you live your life better, along with being able to do tasks with ease.

When She Hates Your Dog
Your furry friend can wreak havoc on your love life. If your latest lady has a fear or strong dislike of dogs, you're going to have to manage the situation carefully to keep her from running out the door.
If she's truly afraid of your dog
It's not uncommon to be afraid of dogs, especially if they are big. Fourteen percent of American women have a fear of dogs, so sooner or later you are bound to bring home one of these women. If she's someone you've just met, you won't even know it's a problem until you get to your place, open the door and the dog jumps on her. For this reason, it's best to prepare all new visitors to your home by telling them that you have a dog, especially if it is likely to get excited by the presence of someone new.
It's crucial to keep your dog under control if she has a fear of dogs. If you tell her that it's harmless whilst it nips at her legs, she's going to want to get out of there as soon as possible and never come back. Hold onto the dog so it can't jump at her, then shut it away in another room. A girl who is afraid she is going to be attacked by a dog at any moment will not be in the mood, so take away that risk entirely by locking it up.
If you manage to keep the dog away from her, she will be far more likely to come back to your place again.Although, an alternative location such as her place is best, if she has a severe phobia of it.
If she just dislikes the dog
You might be so smitten with your dog that you can't understand why others don't feel the same.If a random hook-up doesn't like your dog, that's not much of a problem- you can just shut it out of the bedroom. But if you're dating, then you want her to get along with everyone important in your life, and that includes your dog. Slowly introduce her to liking your dog by getting her to pat it whilst you hold or restrain it. When you're past formal dates and have a more casual relationship, ask her if she wants to help you walk your dog. If you have a well-trained dog, you could make her love it by using it for romantic gestures, like making it fetch her a flower.
Keep doggie out of the bedroom
Even if she quite likes your dog, she will not appreciate it jumping up on the bed and wanting to play when you are trying to be intimate. Shut your door with the dog on the other side of it! If it whines at the door and wants to be let in, you're going to have to shut it in another room temporarily, or the mood will be wrecked.Don't let the dog in afterwards either, no woman wants to share post-coital cuddling with Man's Best Friend. Bringing your dog into the bedroom is a deal-breaker for most women.
Living with other people is usually annoying as far as picking up is concerned, but if you do have a flatmate, take advantage of the situation by asking them to look after the dog whilst you're busy with a woman you've just brought home. They know what you're up to anyway.

Johnson County remains one of the fastest-growing counties in central Indiana, which is bringing more places to shop and a better market to sell your home.
The county's population is 145,535, according to the 2013 estimate from the U.S. Census Bureau. That compares with 139,654 reported in the 2010 Census.
That 4.2 percent increase over the past three years puts a little more stress on local police to handle emergency calls and schools to find class space for students, and local streets may wear down quicker with added traffic. But with more people coming into the county, homes are becoming easier to sell and new retail stores are opening.
"We have been growing like this for the last decade, and I think it's no coincidence," said Christian Maslowski, Greater Greenwood Chamber of Commerce president and chief executive officer. "This is a destination for where people want to live, work and play. I think folks continually recognize that, and people want to be here."
There are 58,016 homes in Johnson County, 2.4 percent more than in the 2010 Census. And those homes are selling more quickly than in the past.
Keller Williams Realty in Greenwood has sold about $81 million in homes so far this year, an increase of about 24 percent from the same point last year. The average home takes about 70 days to sell in that office, compared with 100 to
115 days a few years ago, agent Dennis O'Brien said.
"I think the job opportunities are opening up, and the environment has a big play in it," O'Brien said. "The school systems are increasing in their star (rankings), and a lot of people are finding Johnson County a good place to raise a family."
Johnson County's population is increasing faster than the number of homes being built. This allows homeowners to sell their homes more quickly. Also, more people are selling their first home and upgrading, O'Brien said.
The increase in residents leads to more retail opportunities, such as a pair of organic-based grocery stores that will open later this year. Residents in the county have long clamored for those types of stores, and the area's consistently growing population is a drawing factor for new businesses. Fresh Thyme is building an organic, produce-driven grocery store near County Line Road and U.S. 31, while Earth Fare will open a similar store across the street later this year.
Franklin has also seen an increase in unique, eclectic gift shops, a likely byproduct of an increasing population, according to Dana Monson, Johnson County Development Corp. director of business development.
More homes were built in Boone, Hendricks and Marion Counties than in Johnson County from 2010 to 2013, according to Census data. Boone County now has 24,372 homes, an increase of 7.1 percent from 2010, the largest increase in central Indiana.
All eight central Indiana counties experienced a population increase, from Shelby County's 0.66 percent gain to Hamilton County's 8.1 percent increase to 296,693 residents. The populations of Boone, Hamilton and Hendricks counties all grew at a quicker rate than Johnson County.
Maslowski expects the demographics of Johnson County's population to show two trends: a more diverse population in the northern part of the county and an aging population.
For example, a large Punjabi population is found in a few Greenwood neighborhoods. And several new senior-living or assisted-living facilities have been built in recent years, Maslowski said.
The increasing population of Johnson County could put an extra burden on schools and police. Clark-Pleasant, for example, has 60 percent more students than it did a decade ago. The school built a new middle school and spent
$3 million to turn the old middle school into a freshman center.
With more residents, more calls are coming into police departments, Greenwood assistant chief Matt Fillenwarth said. The police department received 27,797 calls in 2013 and 27,196 in 2012. In comparison, the department never received more than 25,089 in any of the preceding three years.
"There always seems to be a strain on the department," Fillenwarth said. "It never feels like we have enough help."
The department can struggle to keep the same number of officers patrolling the streets when one goes on vacation or is sick, and that won't be any easier if calls continue to increase, Fillenwarth said.
The Johnson County Sheriff's Office has a little less area to cover since annexations by Bargersville and Greenwood in recent years, but the calls coming in have not dropped significantly. The sheriff's office received 16,909 calls in 2013, compared with 17,437 in 2012.
Sheriff Doug Cox has not noticed less of a workload in his department over the past year.
"I have seen no reason to reduce the size of the department," Cox said.

But the repairs are only a stopgap measure; it's all the state can afford right now. Walk into the executive mansion in Springfield, and nothing looks awry. But climb the stairs to the third floor, where the governor's apartment lies, off-limits to tours and most events, and the damage is apparent in two historical bedrooms.

Fire crews fight blaze at vacant Yukon building
YUKON — Firefighters were called to a blaze at a vacant medical building Friday afternoon.
Thick, black smoke poured from the building as fire crews arrived at the former Mercy Medical Center near the corner of Holly and Vandament.
Authorities said no one was injured. The building has been vacant for about 10 years.
Fire Capt. Caleb McDoulett said the fire started in trees on the south side of the building and quickly spread to the attic.
Fire crews from Bethany and Oklahoma City assisted Yukon firefighters and knocked down the fire quickly, McDoulett said.
He had no estimate of the damage.

Naba Durga Group
Mauna has been running a dairy farm with five buffalos for the last 12 years. Her husband and son help her in nurturing the buffalos and the milk supply. The primary work of Mauna is to clean the buffalo shed every morning and keep the shed clean. Mauna gets 15 liters of milk daily and supplies it to a sweet stall in a nearby town. She gets payment from the stall owner on a weekly basis. Apart from the milk, she also extracts cheese, curd and ghee from the milk, which fetches extra income for her. Mauna earns a monthly net income of 6,000 Indian Rupees (INR) but it is not sufficient to manage her household expenses along with the fodder expenses for her buffalos. Therefore, to earn some extra income, Mauna has planned to utilize the present loan to purchase another two buffalos of an improved variety. Mauna has a dream of saving some money for the marriage of her daughter and son and to construct a house. The other four members are Sabitri, Sudha, Puspanjali and Sudhansubala and they are have businesses like a dairy farm, a fancy store, and a general grocery shop, respectively.

Sun, Shade or Perhaps Something in Between
One of the most basic questions on gardening is whether you are looking for a sun or shade plant, or maybe something in between. This simple idea can be difficult to define if you don't understand what constitutes full sun, full shade, and partial sun/shade. This article will go over the basics of sun and shade and how to determine which category different areas should be labeled.
One of the most basic questions on gardening is whether you are looking for a sun or shade plant, or maybe something in between. This simple idea can be difficult to define if you don't understand what constitutes full sun, full shade, and partial sun/shade. This article will go over the basics of sun and shade and how to determine which category different areas should be labeled.
Gardening doesn't have a lot of black and white issues; a lot of having a garden is in understanding the many different shades of gray. How easy it is to put a sun plant where it gets too much shade or a shade plant where it gets too much sun? We think part of the problem is that many people aren't certain just exactly what constitutes full sun or full shade, much less partial sun or shade.
The rules of thumb we go by are these:
Full Sun is 6 or more hours of direct sun a day
Partial Sun or Partial Shade is 4 to 6 hours of direct sun a day
Full Shade is less than 4 hours of direct sun a day
So how can you avoid torturing your sun plants with too much shade and your shade plants with too much sun?
One way is to draw a simple diagram of your garden. Then one day when you have time go out every hour, starting first thing in the morning, and mark which areas have sun or shade. Count the number of hours each area has sun to determine which conditions apply. The angle of the sun will impact how much sunlight each area gets. Northern exposures become much shadier in the winter and southern exposures get much more sun in summer. You may want to check the hours of sun each area receives every few months to get a really good feel for the amount of sunlight each area gets as the seasons change.
Full sun plants like bright sunny areas. Many full sun plants will be perfectly happy with sun 14 hours a day, every day. Some plants are happy with sun 14 hours a day, unless it gets hot then they like some afternoon shade (when the sun is hottest.) How do you know which sun plants prefer a bit of a heat break?
If the plant is noted as being great for early spring it is a good bet that it will be happiest with some afternoon shade. Some plants that fall into this category are:
Plants that are noted as heat and/or drought tolerant are generally pretty tolerant of even hot afternoon sun. Plants in this category include:
|'Tuscan Sun'
|Flambé® Chrysocephalum
Partial sun and partial shade are probably the most confusing category. The two terms are fairly interchangeable. These plants prefer 4 to 6 hours of sun a day and would be happiest getting their sun mostly in the morning and/or evening with shade through the middle of the day. If a plant is called partial sun the emphasis is on making sure the plant gets at least 4 hours of sun a day. If a plant is called partial shade then greater emphasis is placed on the plant not getting more than 6 hours of direct sun.
You may also see the term Dappled Shade. Dappled shade refers to areas where there is a mixture of sun and shade, generally because a deciduous tree is nearby. Dappled shade is similar to partial shade. Plants in this category are often woodland plants and will do best with little full sun (even morning or evening sun). These plants thrive in sun that has been filtered by trees:
New Guinea
|'Bottle Rocket'
|'Jade Peacock'
Full shade plants prefer to get little direct sun. They like less than 4 hours of direct sun a day and prefer morning and evening sun to mid-day sun. Full shade plants should also do outstanding in dappled shade conditions. An area that will be shaded by a fence or wall will need to get several hours of sun in either morning or evening for plants to do well. Full shade does not refer to dark places. All plants need at least some light.

Thank you! This was a very helpful article regarding the definition of full sun, partial sun, and full shade.
I live in Memphis I have an enclosed patio with six foot high wood fences. I planted knockout roses and rhodendrum neither is blooming and I suspect they do not get enough sun. The outside of the fence faces north. Can you suggest a perennial with some nice colorful foliage or blossoms? Ed
Coleus is a good annual choice for you. Caladiums, such as our Artfuls, won't survive on their own through the winter, but you can dig and store them for the winter and then replant the next spring. Other than that I would look at shade tolerant ornamental grasses - here is a link to get you started: http://extension.illinois.edu/beyond/directory_grasses.cfm.
There are some colorful shrubs that will work in shade as well, here is a link https://www.provenwinners.com/plants/search/shrubs?keys=&hardiness_zone=All&light_level=826&available_online=All.
And a couple more right here: https://www.provenwinners.com/plants/search/shrubs?keys=&hardiness_zone=All&light_level=629&available_online=All
I hope this helps.
Coleus has beautiful patterned and colored foliage with inconsequential flowers that thrives in shade/partial sun.
My two story house in central Texas faces directly east thus the north side is full sun in the summer and full shade in the winter. And the opposite in the summer (except thesoith side does get some mid day direct sun in the summer because we are in the northern hemisphere). Knowing that seasons will offer vastly different light amounts, What should I consider when planting shrubs around the house?
Gardening in Texas involves lots of considerations that I'm not familiar with, so I think you'll get the very best answer dealing with someone with experience. I would recommend that you contact your cooperative extension (http://counties.agrilife.org/ - your extension agent is funded with your tax dollars and can be an exceptional resource and wealth of local knowledge) and talk to the home landscape person there. In the meantime, here are some excellent resources for landscaping in Texas to help get you some ideas: http://aggie-horticulture.tamu.edu/earthkind/plantselector/; http://aggie-horticulture.tamu.edu/southerngarden/treelist.html; http://aggie-horticulture.tamu.edu/extension/xeriscape/table4.html; http://water.tamu.edu/best-shrubs-texas/.
A concern I have never seen addressed is, " I want to plant Japanese Skimmias (shade loving) near deciduous trees. They will receive full to partial shade 6 months of the year which they will love and full sun November through May southern exposure. Will they survive full sun in winter?
One issue with evergreens like skimmia in sunny winter locations is that the sun can actually increase leaf burn, as it draws moisture out of the leaf tissue and the frozen ground does not allow the roots to take up moisture to replace it. Perhaps if you water them well before winter and give them a good blanket of mulch, you can help minimize the moisture loss which would otherwise turn them unsightly.
This year as every other year along with all of the beautiful flowers we plant, (and they are all proven winners), we have three tree's in our front yard. Around these tree's, every year, we plant impatiens and to say they grown and look beautiful would be an understatement. This year they grew, bloomed, but I kept saying, something is wrong they do not look like they usually do. Not to long after that they were all spindly and dead. After all of our reading we are attributing this to a blight of some kind. To say we were sick would be another understatement. I am a floral designer and flowers are my love to say the least. All of my pots and hanging baskets are beautiful, but of our impatiens, gone. What can we plant under the tree's that will get part shade and part sun, (but lots of light), and make a beautiful statement. Thank you for any help you can give me.
The disease your plants had is called Downy Mildew and severitywill vary from year to year, but if you have it one year, you are much more likely to get it again the next year, especially if you plant in the same location. This article covers the disease as well as plant suggestions to take the place of bedding impatiens. Here is the link https://www.provenwinners.com/learn/planting/sky-falling-impatiens-downy....
One plant not mentioned in the article are Sunpatiens, which were chosen for sun performance, but will do OK in shade as well.

Was wondering if you got and answer to your question as I have a situation just like yours and am having a terrible time finding something to grow under my locust tree?
Your plants most likely got a disease called Downy Mildew, which has become pretty prevalent lately and is devastating for impatiens. Some years it is worse than others, but if it is around then the chance exists that your impatiens will get it. This article explains more about the disease and some alternate options for planting - https://www.provenwinners.com/learn/planting/sky-falling-impatiens-downy....
I am hoping to plant shrubs along the border of our downwards sloping lot in zone 7a in the foothills region of NC. Along with the acidic, red clay soil, the area I am working with is in shade to dappled shade in the morning and late afterneen, but receives direct (intense) sunlight for about 3 hours--from about 1 PM to 4PM. We also have to deal with a small but very visible deer population. I would like to stay away from holly and other evergreen species. Would love something with 3-4 season color if possible. Any suggestions? Thanks for your help!
There are several things you could consider - Little Henry itea, spirea, and clethra would all be good, shade-tolerant choices.
Can some one tell me a good plant, for facing south facing, slightly to the west. First half of day, the area is under cover from trees, etc, but afternoon, it's in direct line of the sun. What can I plant that isn't a water hog. We live in the San Fernando Valley on Los Angeles county. Northridge. Gets into low thirties sometimes in winter, and 110a115 possible in summer. Gets very windy, but this is a protected corner of the yard????
I would look at planting Lantana. I really love our Luscious Berry Blend, Luscious Marmalade and Luscious Citrus Blend, but the whole series is very good. They love heat and can take pretty cool temps and are quite drought tolerant - Tailor made for your needs. If you want another one Diamond Frost and Diamond Delight Euphorbia. They may not take you cold temps, but they love heat, don't mind drought and despite looking frilly and delicate are tough as nails.
I live in zone 8 and am having a hard time finding the right plant for a section of yard that gets morning and evening shade and about three hours of sun during the afternoon. Have tried both sun and partial sun plants with no success. Everything dies over the winter months. The morning shade is due to a large tree in the neighbors yard that looses leaves in winter. The evening shade is due to trees on the other side of the yard that keep their leaves in winter. Any recommendations?
Hi there -
OK so you are in zone 8, can you tell me a zip code or a town so I can help? I live in North Florida which is zone 8b and maybe we can find some plants that will work for you even if they are not Proven Winners! Gardening in the SE can be challening!
Look forward to hearing from you!
So I have a bit of a dilemma here (I will pre-warn you, I'm babbling here and it gets confusing with the descriptions of the sun in my yard :-p).
I am beginning to grow some exotic plants in my yard with heliconias, ornamental gingers ect.. but I am afraid the hot sun of central Florida may burn the leaves (not including the few days of frost we get during winter but I cover the plants with blankets and they seem to do fine).
The hottest time of the sun here is between 11am-5pm during summer, and it happens to be no matter if I plant a plant in the front yard (where the sun comes up) the plant will get full sun from 7/8am-1pm. I think this is one of the worst spot for most plants that do not like sun as I don't have a big tree blocking sunlight, the plants must be planted very close to the house walls to get shade after 1pm and this is around the time where the sun gets super hot. Not only that, but the front of the house seems to be more drier than my neighbors who have trees because there is no shade in my yard other than my house.
In the back yard I have a little canape/gazebo where I put my potted plants in with filtered sunlight sometimes direct sunlight, but this is the evening sun after 1pm which is HOOOTTTT and humid- there is no in between and it makes it hard starting plants in there because the sun is scorching hot. The lady finger banana trees seem to love full sun all day, as they are located in an area where there is absolutely no shade whatsoever. But the heliconias and gingers enjoy partial shade/partial sun-full sun, which confuses me as to where I might want to plant these plants so the sun doesn't burn them and I don't know very much about heliconias or gingers either to ascertain if they are similar to their cousins the banana trees which seem to love full sun or not.
What would you suggest I do with these tropical plants so that I don't accidentally kill them, as they take a long time to bloom to start over again?
how possible is it to specify sun/part shade by what sun is good? I seem to have issues with plants that are labeled this and it seems to make a difference whether the sun is late sun when it is hottest. almost all of the plants I have seem to prefer the early sun vs. late scorching sun but they are labeled 6 hours of sun.
What a great question and unfortunately there is no simple answer.
So much depends on the location (is there a house wall on that side of the garden? Do you live in the north or the south of the country? What kind of shrubs are nearby taking up water and affecting the heat load at a given time of day?) it is simply.... not simple....chuckle
In general if a plant is labelled for part sun, it is likely that it also does not like the hottest sun of the day, so like your description most of yours like morning sun which is usually much gentler than afternoon sun.
We are often frustrated by the part sun/part shade definition, because it often comes down to developing a 'feel' for what plants do well in your garden specifically and that is something you can only develop by trial and error. We feel your pain, but suggest that you always start first with these plants in morning sun and part shade in afternoons as you have learned!
I wish there was an easier answer!
I live in an apartment in central Maryland. My balcony faces east, but there are trees about 50' away that block the earliest sun. So realistically, we only get 2-3 hours of morning sun, but are looking for flowers to brighten up the space. Unfortunately we've had trouble finding suitable varieties. Any suggestions?
OK so it sounds like what you really have is shade. Those 2-3 hours of morning sun are wonderful, but the rest of the day your living on shadows and reflected light. The south east corner of your patio will be corner that gets the most light, even if it is only by a few minutes. Here is a primer of some easy plants to start with and learn what does best on your balcony. Remember the amount of wind can also be a factor, a lot of shade plants do not like high winds, so be a bit careful!
Easy and colorful:
Begonias of all kinds - Try the Surefire types and see if you like them!
Coleus - like the ColorBlaze series
House plants - things like Philodendron, or Chinese Evergreen can add a tropical effect.
Experiment with Impatiens - start with a few and see if they hold their flowers, if not it is likely too shady.
Give these a shot and let us know what works best for you!
I am in zone 6 Berkley MA. We have a Cape with a farmers porch across the front. Last year I ripped out all the over grown lanky shrubs and planted the same flowers on both sides. Black eyed susans, painted daisy, coneflower, tick seed, gayfeather. I also planted gold spirea one on each side planning to put one more on each this year. One side is growing faster than the other. I assume one side getting more sun than other. Any thoughts?. I may take plants out and plant along brick walkway on sunnier side. But what to with the less sun side to incorporate it with all plants on other side.
Hi there
Which direction does your house face? The southern side of your house will always get the most sun, so it sounds like the southern half of your yard is growing faster? Check to make sure one side does not stay drier than the other as that could also explain the difference, or if there are overhanging trees or large shrubs nearby they can out compete the flowers for water and fertilizer and that could also add to the difference between each side.
I think the main thing is that you have some plants that are common to both sides of the walkway to keep things balanced. The gold spirea would be very nice and if they are happy but a bit smaller on one side than the other, that's OK, in landscape design our human eyes look for similarity or continuity and having a few 'bones' type plants that act to connect either side of a walkway is a very good idea, but unless you are doing a formal garden, try uneven numbers of each side of the walkway so that it doesn't look like rows of soldiers but more like a naturalized landscape,.
Hi I have a front yard with beds flush with large windows on both sides of porch. One side is full sun (house faces west) and the other side is part shade due to large tree on that side. I would like to plant symmetrically, something that has color all year (Columbus, Ohio) and not boxwoods. I was thinking of wine and roses, but not sure they would do well on part shade side. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!
Hi there -
This sounds like a great idea and I think Wine & Roses would be a good choice. Whenever you have this inequality of light you will need to adapt your pruning to account for the fact that the sunny side will always grow a bit denser and larger than the shadier part of the garden.
Deep shade will not work for Wine & Roses, but partial shade will be OK - you just need to work each year after flowering to shape the plants so they remain close to one another in size. The sunnier side of the yard will likely take a bit more pruning and the shadier side you will need to exercise a bit of caution and do a little less pruning so the plants can grow well.
Actually i love that kind of job where you have to stand back and evaluate the balance of what you are doing as you prune it is very rewarding!
I have a small flower garden (8x8) the first and second rows are full sun and then as you go down it gets less and less and back corner is almost always in complete shade. I purchased blacked eyed susans and planted them in my front row not realizing how tall they were. These BES are growing so well that they have drowned out the shasta daisies planted between them. Now I need to move them this fall but my problem is where?? They need to be in the back obviously but they will not grow well there because they do not get enough sun. I am wondering if I could plant them down the left side where they will get enough sun and will not hide the other flowers?
There is room in front of my flower bed to add to it and that area happens to get 6 hours of sunlight each day. My problem again is the BES will cover up the flowers in the current bed if they are planted in the back of the new bed. Get my problem? I am having a horrible time designing this flower bed and I do not want to give up my BES. If I could plant them down the side that would work but don't know if it would look right.
Oh I am in TN in Zone 7b
You don't mention what, if anything, borders the left-side of the bed, where you are contemplating planting the Black-eyed Susans. Without seeing a photo or photos it is really difficult to know how it would look. If you want to send photos, email them to me at email@example.com. Please include a reminder on the challenge you are trying to solve. I answer a lot of qeustions and they can really start to blend together and it gets hard to remember any details.
Planting the Black-eyed Susans on the left side edge of the bed, could very well be fine. Think of it a bit this way. If you plant something tall along that edge you are basically setting that up as a backdrop for the flowers in front of them. This means that the bed will be basically be viewable from the right and front sides, since you will have height creating a backdrop on the left. If that seems like it would maybe be OK, then give it a try. Black-eyed Susans are pretty darn forgiving plants, so after a year, if you don't like that look, then move them again next year...
If you send photos, I'll try to give you a more definitive answer...

Supertunias do not need to be deadheaded! They do need sun! So try to stay away from partial shade!
Hope this helps! Kelly Geoghegan PW
Is it necessary to deadhead Supertunias? In years past, I haven't done so, but this year I have much smaller blooms and lots of stems from blossoms that have fallen off that now appear to be gone to seed .... much like petunias of the past. Should I cut those off?
No, it is not necessary to deadhead Supertunias! You can cut those off if you want but it is not necessary!
Hope this helps! Kelly Geoghegan PW
I noticed this year on the plant label that my dragon wing begonia could be planted in full sun or full shade. Any other plants that aren't picky?
There are plants that aren't picky with full sun or shade! Here are some examples: Surefire™, Pink Chablis®, Charmed®, any of the Colorblaze®, Sprinter™ and Wedding Ring™.
Hope this helps! Kelly Geoghegan PW
Despite extensive research I have been unable to find any online information that directly addresses the challenges of landscape planning around a partially exposed concrete foundation. The conditions on west facing side of the house are particularly brutal - a concrete foundation wall absorbing & reflecting the heat from prolonged afternoon sun. Seasonal temperatures & the length of the seasons here in New England are no longer what they once were. The winter and summer are harsher with more extreme temperatures, temperature fluctuations & shortened intermediate seasons (spring/fall). It can be 60 degrees & sunny on a Monday in mid-April followed by freezing overnight temperatures on Wednesday. It tends to rain too much in a short span of time (producing flooding and sodden mulched plant beds ripe for fungal diseases) followed by long stretches without rain (weakening the plants & lowering their ability to withstand pests & viral diseases). Plant hardiness in New England is becoming an oxymoron - the hardiness zone & heat index charts are in desperate need of updating.
Those are the environmental conditions working against the west facing concrete wall plantings in addition to the increased heat index & soil alkalinity the wall itself creates. Is there anything that can withstand those conditions? (Our hardiness zone is usually considered 6a). Are there ways to minimize the heat absorption/reflection off the concrete, other than covering it with ivy (we have a problem with clover mites & don't want to invite them to winter under the siding), until the newly planted trees grow large enough to provide some shade?
I've come to the limit of what I can figure out on my own. Any advice would be greatly appreciated as all of the plants the landscaper used have since died from disease/pests/heat damage of incorrect placement.
Good point! I live in New England and you are right on about the conditions here over the years.
It seems all I've been doing in the last few years is relocating my plants and my back is very tired of it!!!
But there's no global warming is there!!!
I've read your article, thank you, and have planted different perennial flowers for over 18 years in my walkway, with no success of the flowers lasting...they look horrible at the end of the summer....the flower bed has a roof overhang, part of the flower beds on each side get full sun at one end and full shade at the other end....I haven't found a combination that works and would love some advice...am thinking about going to a landscaper..it would have been much cheaper in the beginning if I would have done this at the very beginning but thought I could figure it out....
Caladiums do well in your situation. The shaded end will be smaller and not as full but will still grow and look nice.
For the shaded area I would recommend any of the Rockapulco® Impatiens, all of the Infinity® New Guinea Impatien, the Dolces® Heuchera or the ColorBlaze® Coleus.
For the sun area I would recommend any of the Supertunias®, Sweet Romance™ Lavender, Stratosphere™ Pink Picotee or the Diamond Frost® Euphorbia!
I hope this helps! Kelly Geoghegan PW
I want to frame my front door, which is red in color, and gets maybe four hrs. Of late afternoon sun. Can u suggest a nice small combination of plants that will thrive for me. My pots are concrete and approx. 12-14 inches round and 12 inches deep. Please help!!! firstname.lastname@example.com. Thank you!!
The shade is the hardest! But this link will show you all of the combinations! Pick full shade or part shade to full shade and those will be the best options for you!
Hope this helps! Kelly Geoghegan PW
I have an area in one of my beds that gets about 2-3 hours of afternoon sun between about noon to 3 (at most). I have found it very difficult to find partial sun/shade perennials that will work there. I live in Missouri so, during many summers, the afternoon temps can climb to 90 - 100 degrees.
Any suggestions?
I think we all have problem areas like this and so many plants that take part sun would prefer morning sun. It also depends on the size of plant you want. A boxwood would be nice and stay green all year round, something smaller would be Heucera, they come in many different colors. Our Ligularia 'bottle Rocket' is nice but likes moist conditions, will tolerate dryer contitions once established.Baptisia 'Lemon Meringue' may work too.
Hope this gives you enough opptions. Good Luck!

Thank you so much!! You are exactly correct when you said none explained the difference between full sun and partial shade and stuff.. I am a newbie in gardening and i really have no clue on what to do. I thought you just dig a hole in the ground and plant and water. (That's exactly what i did in my front yard and now my flowers are dying) And i also thought, just build a trellis all around my semi prepared 8 by 8 ft garden and grow veggies that climb and my garden will be beautiful.. lol!! So, since surely you are the best person to ask because you hit the very smallest details for beginners in gardening, i wonder if you could tackle the difference in watering..(average or moist) kinda thingy.. Also, my whole semi prepared garden seem to get more than 6 hours of sun per day, can i just build trellis in rows too so if i plant bokchoy and other asian green in between the trellis, then i know they will start getting shades from these trellises by 11 a.m. since most of the veggies that i want to eat are those that requires 2,3 or 4 hours of sunlight a day? Thank you very much again...
Thank you so much! I thought "duh, I know the difference between sun and shade", I have, sadly.and unintentionally mistreated many lovely.plants. I began to buy only the ones from the (infirmary) 1/2 price area of my local Garden center because I felt like if they died, they were going to anyway, but if they survived it would be like I had done a good thing.i thought I was just not destined to have a garden.
Turns out though that I did not really know the difference between full shade, full sun, partial etc..
Thanks again, I am putting things where they want to live now and having some success.
Funny about that plant that just decided to relocate on its own though!!
I have been gardening for 30 years and have never seen this explained as well. Thank you. I just purchased a shade/part shade shrub and I'm looking at that thinking, "what does that mean?"
Five years ago I planted a "prophet" mum where I knew it wouldn't get enough sun. It was a dumb idea but it looked good there. A funny thing has happened. Hardy mums have a habit of spreading and this one only spreads toward the sun. It has literally moved its homebase three feet from where I planted it. Apparently, the mum is smarter than me.
I've found it easy to use my digital camera to go around my yard every hour or two. I've organized the photos into folders for each garden area. Makes it easy to see at a glance what's up with each area. It's the beginning of summer, now, so I'll redo the photos for mid-summer and fall as the light will change for us in the north (Pennsylvania).
Great article, though. The information helped me a lot.
I just working at a garden center and this was so helpful and the articel was easy to find. Now I can help me customers so much more. Thanks again Tonia Hauch.
