SUMMARY: As fall approaches, Bellingrath Gardens is highlighting the care of mums, which thrive in Mobile. To successfully grow mums, plant them in a location that receives at least six hours of sunlight daily and water them in the morning to prevent root rot. Pinch back the plants mid-summer for a bushy appearance, and deadhead spent flowers as needed. Use a balanced fertilizer, like Miracle Grow, but reduce application as flowers bloom. Mums may be affected by pests like aphids and mealybugs, which can be treated with insecticidal soap. Visit Bellingrath Gardens for more tips and seasonal displays during the upcoming Great Bellingrath Harvest.

SUMMARY: The National Hurricane Center is monitoring two areas of interest in the Atlantic, particularly remnants of Gordon and a newly highlighted zone in the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico with a 40% chance of development into a low-pressure system. As we approach early next week, conditions may favor the formation of a depression or a storm, potentially evolving into a hurricane. Forecast models show shifting paths, indicating uncertainty in strength and trajectory. As for local temperatures, expect a warm day reaching around 90°F, slightly higher than yesterday’s 88°F. Continuous monitoring of the system is crucial in the coming days.
