Although it may not feel like fall here along the Coast, Thursday marks the first day of fall which is the second gardening season.

Fall is a great time to start planting vegetables such as cauliflower, kale, collards, broccoli, Swiss chard, and cabbage.

Things like broccoli and Swiss chard do great in the fall and winter months because they can handle a light frost.

The great thing about living on the Coast is there is a long growing season so things like tomatoes, peppers, and squash grow well in the spring and fall.

SUMMARY: Summer fun near water in South Mississippi requires strict safety measures, especially during holidays like the Fourth of July. Ashlyn Noel, aquatics coordinator at the Salvation Army Kroc Center, stresses always wearing properly fitting life jackets, even for strong swimmers, and using the buddy system. Adults should closely watch children near water. Bright swimsuit colors like red and orange improve visibility, while pastels and blues do not. Teaching water safety early is vital.

SUMMARY: Televangelist Jimmy Swaggart, once a widely followed Pentecostal preacher whose ministry earned millions, died at age 90 after recent poor health. Rising from humble beginnings in Louisiana, Swaggart built a vast ministry with TV broadcasts and music, drawing millions by the late 1980s. His career collapsed after being caught with prostitutes in scandals during the late 1980s and early 1990s, leading to his defrocking and diminished audience.
