View Comments 3. Hough’s Single But Not Ready to Mingle “I have to be single,” says Hough—and getting together with his co-stars is now off limits. “It literally feels like you are breaking up with somebody every time, and it can be heartbreaking. It’s better not to get [romantically] involved.” 4. The Perfect Broadway Role? Although he’s no longer a practicing Mormon, Hough doesn’t drink alcohol or coffee when he’s working on a show. He’s also starred in the West End in Footloose. All of which has got us dreamcasting him in a certain show at the Eugene O’Neill… Related Shows Five-time Dancing with the Stars winner Derek Hough is a busy man, currently working two jobs on two coasts. He is starring alongside Tony winner Laura Benanti in the Rockettes’ New York Spring Spectacular at Radio City Music Hall, while appearing on DWTS’ 20th season in Los Angeles. Hough recently sat down with the New York Post and we discovered all sorts of delicious tidbits about the bi-coastal heartthrob and his projects. 5. Hough’s Definition of Fun Hough’s definition of fun is as impressive as his trophy collection. “I thought: ‘Wouldn’t it be fun if I did Dancing With the Stars on my days off?’” How does he manage it? “I say that I’m living on ‘NET’ time, as in No Extra Time.” Spring Spectacular runs at Radio City through May 3; DWTS airs on ABC on Mondays at 8/7C.
1. Spectacular is Different to Broadway “What’s so wonderful is that it’s not a Broadway show,” says Hough. “It’s not a play, it’s a spectacular.” He goes on to describe the piece as “more theatrical, magical and whimsical than anything I’ve ever seen before.” New York Spring Spectacular 2. April Showers Happen Inside 70 feet of water falls on Radio City Music Hall’s stage while Hough sashays through puddles to “Singin’ in the Rain.” His Gene Kelly moment comes complete with 36 umbrella-twirling Rockettes.

Featuring a book by original star John Cameron Mitchell and a score by Stephen Trask, the touring production of Hedwig will kick off at San Francisco’s SHN Golden Gate Theatre on October 4, where it’ll run through October 30.

“If the lantana in your landscape didn’t bloom this year, you probably had lantana lace bugs,” Braman said. “They’re normally on the plants, but this year they were there in much higher levels.” Lantana lace bugs are among the other landscape pests that survived and thrived during the drought. They feed on lantana and other landscape plants, causing the leaves to turn white. The drought reduced the population of another turfgrass pest, too: the two-lined spittlebug. “Young Japanese beetle larvae need moisture to tunnel and search for food,” Braman said. “If they survived in the drought to adulthood, then they needed wet areas to lay their eggs in, and there weren’t many wet areas to be found this summer.”Some need moisture, some don’t The tiny destroyers’ numbers are down this year because their life cycle relies on moisture. If it’s too dry, the larvae can’t complete their development. In the United States alone, controlling the beetles’ larval (grub) and adult stages cost more than $460 million a year. “They like it hot, but they need moisture, too,” Braman said. “So there aren’t as many around this year to harm centipede and zoysia grasses and holly bushes.” Not all landscape pests suffered from the drought. Some actually thrived. By Sharon OmahenUniversity of GeorgiaGeorgia’s drought conditions may have the state’s farmers depressed, but it’s put a smile on the faces of crape myrtle and rose growers. While the drought withered many crops, it also drastically reduced the number of Japanese beetles munching on these and other landscape plants. “I consider Japanese beetles super bugs,” said Kris Braman, an entomologist with the University of Georgia College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences. “But their numbers were really reduced this summer, because they just can’t take it when it’s dry.”Costly to controlGardeners and landscapers view Japanese beetles as pests, so no one complained when the drought knocked back their numbers. Japanese beetles destroy plants by feeding on their leaves. As grubs, they burrow underground and feed on plants’ roots. They especially like turfgrass roots. Chinch bug populations in Georgia exploded this year as a result of the drought. “They like it hot and dry, and it definitely was,” she said. The bugs suck the sap from turfgrass, their favorite being St. Augustine, and cause the grass to wither, turn yellow and become stunted.Bugs prevent lantanta blooms
Beyond pecans, a commodity originating in Georgia’s pecan orchards is exciting growers and chefs alike: truffles. “Thanks to Dr. (Tim) Brenneman, I’ve been able to find truffles and find a market for them,” said Eric Cohen, co-owner of Pecan Ridge Plantation in Decatur County, Georgia.Brenneman, a University of Georgia plant pathologist based in Tifton, Georgia, has researched pecan truffles since he discovered them in the late 1980s. His research involves inoculating trees with the fungus responsible for truffles. “Right now, the main limitation for truffles is lack of consistent availability,” Brenneman said. “They’re underground; they’re hard to find. We’re doing research on producing truffles more consistently by inoculating trees with the fungus, and then, when you plant the trees, it may take a while, but they will eventually start growing truffles on their roots.”Pecan growers can locate truffles, but the latest, perhaps more effective trend is to search for and find truffles using truffle dogs. “In the past, nearly all of the truffles we had in Georgia were just found by people going out with rakes during late summer at pecan harvest, when the truffles were being exposed, and picking them up,” Brenneman said. “Having dogs that are specifically trained for these truffles really helps find the truffles. It also improves the quality of truffles found because they’re locating the mature truffles. The dogs just go to the ones that have the strongest odor, and those are the most mature truffles and most desired by the chefs using them.” Truffle dogs have made it easier for farmers, like Cohen, to market truffles and net a profitable venture. He has always had pecan orchards, but only started marketing truffles two years ago. Cohen had no prior knowledge of truffles and wasn’t aware that there was a market for them.“I heard (Brenneman) say how valuable they were, and that’s what got me quizzing him about them, just the sheer amount of money a pound of truffles costs,” Cohen said. “I would not have done that if it had not been for Dr. Brenneman.” There is high demand for truffles, especially from chefs, but there are only a few people marketing truffles and not a large supply. Cohen said he developed his market by word of mouth among different chefs. While European truffles cost thousands of dollars a pound—they’re one of the most expensive foods in the world—one pound of truffles grown in Georgia can sell for $200 to $300, Brenneman said.For more information on pecan truffles and Brenneman’s research, visit timbrenneman.org.(Tatyana Phelps is an intern with the UGA Tifton Campus.)
Across the tee box in my backyard, my neighbor has been turning his pool into a virtual paradise with a pergola and rock work. Now all he needs is a ‘South Pacific Sipper’! This sounds like the perfect tropical beverage to sip while you go floating across the clear blue water, but in reality it is one of the most beautiful hibiscuses on the market.‘South Pacific Sipper’ might best be described as a fancy hibiscus, and indeed it is. It is also one born to grow and produces flowers so large they defy logic. They are somewhat ruffled and though called “double,” they open up in a most exotic fashion. Though it sounds crazy, it is one of those plants that will have you taking photos of it every day because you think today’s blooms are even prettier than the blooms from the day before.When the ‘South Pacific Sipper’ left the breeder’s hand, it was first called ‘Nectar Pink.’ You might still find ‘Nectar Pink’ in some markets — the name gives a clue about the color. ‘South Pacific Sipper,’ however, is more prevalent and the name fits better. I’ve seen hummingbirds, swallowtail and even sulphur butterflies visiting the tropical blooms.The ‘South Pacific Sipper’ hibiscus is known botanically as Hibiscus rosa-sinensis. It originates in China and is kin to our well-known swamp hibiscus or mallow. Today there are hundreds of varieties available in most colors other than blue. There are even varieties that change colors throughout the day. The dark green foliage is handsome and contrasts nicely with the beautiful flowers that generally stay open only for a day. The flowers are, however, produced for months during our long growing season, which make them worth every penny, even if only treated as an annual.As spring arrives throughout the country, garden centers are unloading hibiscuses in huge quantities. You have to agree there is no other plant that conjures up visions of those islands in the South Pacific or in the Caribbean. When you find the hot pink ‘South Pacific Sipper’ with what seems to be 9-inch flowers or hibiscuses in some other colors, you will want several.The hibiscus belongs in containers on the patio or deck or in that special spot in the landscape. Their requirements are much like any other annual. Plant your hibiscus in well-drained, well-prepared beds because they absolutely cannot take wet feet. Use a good layer of mulch to keep the soil evenly moist through the season and, of course, to make weed control easier.Choose a site with plenty of sunlight. Morning sun and filtered afternoon light are just about perfect. Hibiscus blooms on new growth, so it is important to keep it growing vigorously throughout the season. Keep them well fed and watered during drought periods.Many gardeners think that the prolific flower production of a hibiscus requires high amounts of super-bloom-type fertilizers that are high in phosphorous. This is not the case. Hibiscus prefers a slow-release, balanced fertilizer formula, such as a 6-6-6, in light, monthly applications. Keep in mind that those growing in containers that are watered daily will quickly leach the nutrients from the soil. You will have to apply a dilute water-soluble fertilizer weekly or controlled-release granules per formula recommendation.I must confess that my bride is the buyer of all of our hibiscuses, including the ‘South Pacific Sipper.’ She is also the daily horticulturist that keeps them ever so picturesque. I also know she would be the first to tell you to get on the bandwagon this spring and let a tropical hibiscus bring joy to your gardening.Follow me on Twitter @CGBGgardenguru.
