Many gardeners try to give their landscape the feel of an informal cottage garden. This garden concept has a loose, flowing feel, kind of like you just let plants grow wherever they happen to pop up in the landscape.

I had a professor way back in college who had a unique cottage garden planting method: He would walk through the landscape and just toss plants over his shoulder. We planted them where they landed. And you know what? His gardens looked awfully good.

JACKSON, MS (Mississippi News Now)- Jackson Public School officials say police responded to a fight between students on the campus of Forest Hill High School Thursday afternoon.

Multiple Jackson police officers responded to the school around 4 p.m. At least nine patrol cars were at the school at one point. The scene appears to be under control.
