How to Grow Hollyhocks: An Essential Guide for Timeless
Growing hollyhocks can add a touch of timeless beauty to any garden. Here's a guide on how to grow these charming flowers:
Selecting the Right Location:
Hollyhocks thrive in full sun to partial shade. Choose a location with well-draining soil and good air circulation to prevent fungal diseases. These tall plants may need staking or support to prevent them from toppling over in windy conditions.
Planting Hollyhock Seeds:
Timing: Plant hollyhock seeds in early spring after the danger of frost has passed or in late summer for blooms the following year.
Soil Preparation: Prepare the soil by loosening it to a depth of about 12 inches and amending it with compost or well-rotted manure to improve fertility and drainage.

The Road to Nowhere
Trigger warnings: Violence, Death. "May the Sun burn your tongue out, woman," Fredrick's father screamed the curse into his mother's ear as their elegant little carriage rumbled along, its polished wood and gilded trim glinting in the torchlight. They had just left the small village of Saffron and were on an unnamed road to the capital for the Royal wedding. Fredrick leaned back in his plush velvet seat to escape into the passing landscape, but across from him sat the servant boy, a scrappy lad named Jack. Jack's eyes held a mixture of awe and fear, the kind that only a commoner could feel in the presence of nobility. Jack looked up and caught Fredrick's gaze, offering him a sad little smile before reaching into his pocket and retrieving a little caramel treat. This candy was no doubt stolen from the kitchen treat cupboard; if he was caught with it, he would be locked in the box as punishment.
