Just about all of the decorative annuals you buy in the spring from your local garden center are tender tropical plants. In warmer zones they can be perennials–or at least live for a couple of years–but in colder zones these are plants are usually allowed to die with the first frost. One benefit of overwintering annuals is saving money. Annuals you successfully overwinter don’t have too be bought again the following spring....
Sometimes the most boring vegetables are the most versatile. Nothing signifies the start of summer for me quite like the appearance of kohlrabi in my weekly CSA (community supported agriculture) vegetable box. The irregularly shaped green bulbs appear in the first week of the 20-week summer farm share and continue throughout the entire season. Then, when I sign up for a winter CSA box, they’re in there too, only bigger and tougher....
Eternals just hit theaters worldwide, and after a year’s delay, it’s finally time for the world to see what Marvel Studios has had up its sleeves.

Although the series will have a different showrunner and writing team than its Netflix counterpart, Charlie Cox’s continuation in the role after Spider-Man: No Way Home will certainly have fans intrigued and ready for more.

Marvel Studios will be slowing down its project releases for Phase 5 and 6’s MCU series on Disney+, as confirmed by president Kevin Feige.The reception to Phase 4 was mixed, to say the least—something that’s sadly leaking into Phase 5 as well, with Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania currently holding a rotten rating on Rotten Tomatoes.Not too long ago, it was rumored that in response to these worries from the wider audiences, Marvel Studios would shift to focusing on quality over quantity....
The Marvel Cinematic Universe is a feat unlike any other in cinema over the last couple of decades. The idea of an interconnected canon across multiple franchises didn’t seem possible before The Avengers, yet, not only was it pulled off, but it blossomed into something nobody could have ever dreamed of. Of course, multiple people had a role to play in making all of this happen, but there was one who stands above the rest: Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige....
Over the past several months, Warner Bros. has been surprising fans left and right with the characters it has announced to be adapting to film. One surprise was Sasha Calle being cast as the newest Supergirl in Ezra Miller’s The Flash. More shocking was that J. J. Abrams would be involved in a Superman reboot that will star a black man as the Man of Tomorrow. A recent report also detailed that the studio will be adapting Hourman, an obscure superhero even by comic book fan standards....
Eternals took Marvel Studios’ reputation for legendary casting to a new level as director Chloe Zhao introduced an entire ensemble of Hollywood legends including Angelina Jolie, Salma Hayak, Kumail Nanjiani, and Richard Madden. Despite Gemma Chan’s Sersi being the definitive star of the controversial flick, Madden’s Ikaris was undeniably placed at the forefront of the marketing campaign.

Hybrids and all-electric vehicles create their own power for battery recharging through a process known as regenerative braking (regen mode). We’ve explained what regenerative braking is and how the process works in general terms, but many folks are interested in the deeper nuts and bolts of electricity generation. They understand that in a hybrid or all-electric vehicle the word “regenerative,” in terms of regenerative braking, means capturing the vehicle’s momentum (kinetic energy) and turning it into electricity that recharges (regenerates) the onboard battery as the vehicle is slowing down and/or stopping....
Have you ever held your camera while looking at a river and wondered how to make the water look beautiful and flowing? Or have you ever photographed a waterfall and can barely see the stream of water, and you really want it to look misty and dreamy like the fine art photos you’ve seen? There is no great secret to how it is done; all you really need is time and a tripod....
If you haven’t heard, there’s a worldwide pandemic happening. Despite having started in March of last year, it’s still going strong to this day. COVID-19 hasn’t stopped movie and film productions from getting back to work, though. After months of absolutely nothing, things were able to finally get back to work around September 2020, with both WandaVision and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier both finally being able to get back to work to finish their perspective first seasons....
Marvel Studios is just beginning its busiest year yet, in which nearly every week of the year will bring new content in some form. While none of these shows or movies are exactly flying “under the radar,” there are a clear few entries that are gaining the majority of headlines due to their sheer magnitude. One that’s had its fair share of press is Eternals, which has been mostly completed for a while both for filming and post-production....
Marvel’s newest streaming series She-Hulk: Attorney at Law has been, of course, officially billed as a legal comedy. And as such, even with only one episode having aired, it’s easy for fans to pick up on the lighthearted, irreverent tone of the show. Naturally, this is helped along the way by lead character Jennifer Walters’ ability to break the fourth wall and speak directly to the audience. The premiere, while probably more serious than subsequent episodes, just from all the setup that needed to be done, still managed to pack in some definite laughs and funny dialogue....
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness not only brought back Benedict Cumberbatch’s Master of the Mystic Arts to the big screen, but it also introduced a brand new hero in Xochitl Gomez’s America Chavez into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The young Marvel hero is an important character in the newly-released sequel due to her power to travel across the Multiverse by opening up a star-shaped portal. Despite that, the character’s future is still unknown....
Variety initially reported in early 2020 that Rachel McAdams would not be reprising her role as Christine Palmer in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.

More information about McAdams’ role was revealed during post-production, and producer Richie Palmer confirmed that Palmer and Strange “are not back together” in the sequel....

The sequel trilogy may have concluded, but it still remains a hot topic of discourse. For several years, the biggest question in Star Wars was Rey’s lineage. Speculation naturally ran rampant after The Force Awakens hinted at multiple possibilities, and discussions even continued after The Last Jedi seemingly closed the book on that part of the character’s story. JJ Abrams disagreed, as The Rise of Skywalker retconned the heroine into being the granddaughter of Emperor Palpatine....
While fans continue to catch their breath after the whirlwind that was Spider-Man: No Way Home, and eagerly await the next step for the MCU’s Spidey, Sony Pictures marches along on its own plans for a Spider-Man-adjacent universe.
