The New Yorker covers: July 6, 1992

Independence Day, commonly known as the Fourth of July in the United States, celebrates the ratification of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. The Second Continental Congress approved independence on July 2 of that year, but Congress did not adopt the actual declaration until two days later.

Merriam-Webster defines a garden as “a plot of ground where herbs, fruits, flowers, or vegetables are cultivated,” but the dictionary’s definitions also include this: “a container (such as a window box) planted with usually a variety of small plants.” Houseplants and cut flowers may not meet either definition, but I think they come close.

October 31 is commonly associated with trick-or-treating, costume parties, haunted houses and jack-o’-lanterns, but Halloween also has religious roots as All Hallows' Eve, which precedes a Christian holy day honoring saints. The origins of the holiday are open to dispute. Just make sure you get the candy ready!
