2020, many people needed somewhere to work out at home, which meant adding equipment and installing mirrors. As D.C.-based designer Zoe Feldman found, clients didn’t just want an attractive, functional area to exercise in.

They wanted a separate one.

“They need to have a dedicated space — and the kids also don’t play in there and the husband doesn’t mancave in there,” says Feldman.

Glass tunnel gives plants head start

W

E GARDENERS are forever trying to extend some boundary, like that of the garden’s edge. Or weather that says: “You can’t grow a fig tree this far north” and “cold is sure to linger for at least another month.” Well, cold might linger, but that first harvest from the vegetable garden can be hastened along. Merely covering plants with some sort of clear covering will speed plant growth by retaining warmth and providing protection from winds.

This technique is sometimes called cloche (sounds like “close,” with a “sh”) gardening, from the French word for bell jar. The original cloches were large bell jars that French market gardeners set over plants to act as miniature greenhouses. At one time, acres and acres of cloche-covered fields surrounded Paris and supplied out-of-season vegetables to the city’s households and restaurants.

There now are modern versions of the traditional cloche.

One is the “hot cap,” which is a waxed paper hat anchored in place with soil on its brim.

lead a useful afterlife recycled as cloches once their bottoms are cut off. I have used one-gallon glass jugs, whose bottoms I cut off with a bottle cutter. New types of cloches, such as teepees of water-filled tubes, fiberglass boxes, and plastic A-frames, are always coming on the market.

The limited air volume within cloches has a tendency

to overheat on warm, sunny days. Here is where the homemade jug cloches are handy; just unscrew the cap for venting. Hot caps are vented by tearing the wax paper progressively open as the season progresses.

Rather than individual cloches, a continuous tunnel can cover a row of plants.

Summer is sweeter with a porch swing

F YOU WERE TO MAKE a list of things that go into a perfect summer evening, chances are “porch swing” would be somewhere near the top, right up there with “lemonade” and “fireflies.” If you’re a do-ityourselfer, this classic porch swing project is an attractive and affordable way to get a little closer to your own idyllic evening on the porch.

Materials for the project include standard pine lumber (other species also work well) and a small quantity of plywood, which keeps costs down. Easy to personalize, the swing can be raised,

lowered or tilted by a simple adjustment to the length of its chains.

The project is as easy to build as it is budget-friendly.

The slats are straight cuts of standard lumber, and everything else is traced from full-size patterns. To build, simply trace the patterns onto plywood and cut out, and cut the slats to length. Next, sand and assemble the pieces using carriage bolts, machine screws and nails. Finally, apply paint, stain or sealer, attach the chains, hang in a shady spot and pour the iced tea.

The porch swing measures 40 inches long by 24 inches

high by 24 inches deep.

The Porch Swing plan, No. 288, is $9.95 and includes full-size traceable patterns, step-by-step directions with photos and a shopping list and cutting schedule.

Please include $3.95 for postage and handling for all orders and allow about two weeks for delivery.

To order by mail, clip this article and send it with a check or money order to U-Bild Features, c/o The Republican, 741B Olive Ave., Vista, CA 92083. To order by credit card, call 1-760-806-7708. Visit U-Bild on the web at u-bild. com.

This is more like a miniature greenhouse, and the temperature of the large volume of air underneath a tunnel cloche will not plunge as low at night, nor soar as high on sunny days, as under individual cloches.

The cool summer climate of England, where cloches often are a necessity to assure a crop of tomatoes, has prompted innovation in cloche design.

There you find glass tents, made from panes of glass held together by the tension of wires and set end to end along garden rows.

More modern tunnel cloches are fashioned from clear plastic held above plants along a series of metal or plastic hoops. The edges of the plastic are anchored with a covering of soil. As the season progresses, some sort of venting will be needed on warm, sunny days.

A new type of covering, one that does not need venting, is clear plastic with slits. This covering demands less attention, but of course will not pro-

tect against as much cold as an unvented covering. Another type of tunnel cloche has rigid plastic panels that unfold like an accordion along the row.

A more recent development in materials to hasten growth in cool weather are “floating row covers.” These are lightweight woven or spun bonded fabrics that are draped loosely over garden rows, with their edges anchored by soil. These materials “float up” as the plants grow tall underneath.

Sunlight, rain, and sprays pass right through. The temperature under floating row covers is only about six degrees above ambient temperature, but no venting is needed.

Insects cannot penetrate the tiny holes of floating row covers, so they can also control some insects. By covering my eggplant seedlings with one of these fabrics, I effectively brought the plants through their critical young stage when flea beetles do irreparable damage. These fabrics might also be used for fending off birds.

What vegetables grow best under cloches? This time of year, quick-maturing, cold-

tolerant vegetables such as lettuce, mustard greens, arugala, and radishes will find the environment under any type of cloche ideal. In a few weeks, the temperature under cloches will be too high for these cold-tolerant vegetables, so cloches should be moved over to such warmth-loving plants as tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, squashes, cucumbers and melons.

Tomatoes and peppers will not set fruit if temperatures are too high, and cucumbers, squashes and melons need bees to pollinate their flowers, so once the weather is thoroughly warm and settled, remove the cloches.

Off-season storage of cloches can be a problem for those of us whose garages already are overflowing with shovels, seed flats, potting soil, rakes, and other garden-related items. Fortunately, I don’t have to ponder where to put a garden full of bell jars. “Hot caps” are useful for only one season, and panes of glass stack as glass tent cloches are carefully disassembled.

Water-filled cloches collapse when drained. Clear

plastic can be folded for re-use. Diaphanous floating row covers are the easiest to store; the covering for a whole row crushes into a ball small enough that could carried around in my pocket from one season to the next – if I, for

some reason, wanted to do that.

Tiffany made more than just jewelry

IFFANY STUDIOS IS synonymous with luxury and decorative items such as jewelry, useful pieces made of precious metals and elaborate stained-glass lamps. The company also made practical objects, including its line of commercial desk accessories made from about 1890 to the 1930s.

Desk sets include items that office workers are unlikely to see today, such as this rocker blotter in the Bookmark pattern. It sold for $161 at Cowan’s auctions in Cincinnati, Ohio. The Tiffany Bookmark series featured the marks of early printers surrounded by panels of raised leaves and flowers. During the turn of the century, office workers would have used a rocker blotter along with a fountain pen and ink stand. Many people who have written with a ballpoint pen have smeared the ink.

Fountain pen ink would have taken even longer to dry.

People would speed up the drying with a sprinkle of sand or powder and, later, by blotting it with special paper. This rocker blotter would have held sheets of blotting paper to use on documents written in ink.

CURRENT PRICES Current prices are recorded from antiques shows, flea markets, sales and auctions throughout the United States. Prices vary in different locations because of local economic conditions.

This rocker blotter sold for $161 at a Cowan’s auction. Today, it has more value as a piece of Tiffany craftsmanship than as a useful desk accessory. (COWLES SYNDICATE INC.)

New York. Its offices and main factory were in Rochester, and they had branches in several U.S. cities. In 1883, the company began making stackable filing cabinets that were customized to suit the specific filing needs of many businesses. A filing cabinet very similar to yours sold for $300 in 2019.

Q. I inherited a Rook-

wood vase when my grandmother died 60 years ago.

It’s shaded from dusty pink to light green at the top, and there are three carved stylized tulips the length of the vase. The vase is about 8 1/2 inches tall. It’s marked with the Rookwood logo and “XXIX” above “2387.” I know it must be old, but is it valuable?

A.

Rookwood Pottery was founded in Cincinnati by Maria Longworth Nichols in 1880. Bookends, dinnerware, figurines, tiles and vases were made. Pieces were marked “RP,” with the letter “R” in re-

verse, surrounded by flames.

Roman numerals indicating the year were included below the initials beginning in 1900.

The pottery went bankrupt in 1941. It was bought and sold several times after that, and production resumed in 2006. The mark on your vase indicates it was made in 1929.

The number “2387” is the shape number. Early pottery made by famous Rookwood artists sells for the highest prices. Some sell for several thousand dollars. Your vase is worth about $200.

TIP: Silverware that has been tarnished by eggs will come clean if rubbed with damp salt.

WASHINGTON

30-year US mortgage rate rises to 4.72%

By Kathy Orton

The Washington Post

It has been nearly three decades since mortgage rates spiked this quickly. And there’s no indication they are going to slow down anytime soon.

According to the latest data released Thursday by Freddie Mac, the 30-year fixed-rate average rose for the fifth week in a row to 4.72% with an average 0.8 point. (A point is a fee paid to a lender equal to 1% of the loan amount. It is in addition to the interest rate.) It was 4.67% the previous week and 3.13% a year ago.

Sam Khater, Freddie Mac’s chief economist, said the 1.5 percentage point increase over the past three months is the fastest three-month rise since May 1994.

Freddie Mac, the federally chartered mortgage investor, aggregates rates from about 80 lenders across the country to come up with weekly national averages. The survey is based on home purchase mortgages. Rates for refinances may be different. It uses rates for high-quality borrowers with strong credit scores and large down payments. Because of the criteria, these rates are not available to every borrower.

The 15-year fixed-rate average climbed to 3.91% with an average 0.8 point. It was 3.83% the previous week and 2.42% a year ago. The five-year adjustable rate average grew to 3.56% with an average 0.3 point. It was 3.5% the previous week and 2.92% a year ago.

Meanwhile, mortgage applications continued to decline last week. The market composite index — a measure of total loan application volume — decreased 6.3% from a week earlier, according to Mortgage Bankers Association data.
