Trump's $46 Billion 'Smart Wall' Rapidly Takes Shape on the US-Mexico Border

The project represents one of the largest border infrastructure investments in US history. Officials say the technology-enhanced barrier will significantly strengthen border security.

Deadhead and Feed Pelargoniums Regularly for a Balcony Full of Blooms

Pelargoniums bloom most abundantly in summer when spent flower heads and dry leaves are removed regularly. They need watering every 2–3 days during heat, a potassium-phosphorus fertiliser every 10–14 days, and a sunny or partly shaded spot. Oversized pots, overwatering or nitrogen-heavy fertilisers promote leafy growth at the expense of flowers.
