The 51-year-old Gunches was originally sentenced to death in 2008. He’s one of 21 death row inmates who have exhausted their appeals. Last month, Gunches asked the Arizona Supreme Court to issue a death warrant for him to give closure to the victim’s family.

Holiday horticulture tends to revolve around the same handful of plants. Gardening writer Jeff Lowenfels identifies five classics: paperwhites, poinsettias, Christmas trees, amaryllis and Christmas cactus. Paperwhite bulbs are pre-chilled so they can be planted now and produce flowers in four to six weeks. They do well planted in a shallow container of soil. The trick to poinsettias is keeping them alive through the holiday season. That starts with keeping them warm, even on the trip home from the store. Christmas trees must be kept watered and can later be recycled or used as bird habitat. Make sure your amaryllis is planted so that 1/3 of the bulb's top is above the soil line. And Christmas cactuses do best in bright light, without too much watering.
