Snapdragons need full sun; they tolerate some shade but will bloom less often. The flowers get their common name from the fact that when one squeezes or pinches the flowers, the "dragon mouth" opens, the newsletter said. Use taller varieties for cut flowers, or plant shorter varieties in flower beds or as a border. Deadhead regularly to keep them blooming.

What is your favorite method for grilling?

MAKE YOUR GRILL GLEAM: Extend the life of your gas grill and get ready for a summer of outdoor barbecues by cleaning and inspecting your grill now. Napoleon Gourmet Grills, a manufacturer of gas fireplaces and gourmet gas grills, offers the following tips:

Use a brass wire brush, small pail to hold hot water, dish soap, brush, a 1/16 drill bit, replacement grease cups, spatula, stainless steel cleaner and some fine sandpaper to thoroughly clean the unit.

Detach the burners and take them out of the grill for a very thorough cleaning.

Sear plates and cooking grills should be washed with hot, soapy water. Remove and wash the drip pan. Inspect all hoses and feed tubes for crimps, scratching and or punctures. Replace worn hoses.
