If you didn’t see it last week, I posted about a tropical house plant that I impulsively bought because it just look so cool! I had no idea what it was though, and so sent out the challenge to everyone to help me identify it. And the winner is . . . . […]
I had been told that African Violets (Saintpaulia) were hard to grow. I thought “Pish posh! How hard can they be?” and decided to see for myself. I read up on African Violets, and then bought this pretty dark blue Vermont variety about two months ago. It’s doing quite well as […]
After picking some of my cherry tomatoes today, it struck me how much some of them looked like Bob the Tomato from Veggie Tales. I grew up watching Veggie Tales videos, and still have a rather large collection of videos, CD’s and plushies. Not to mention how excited I am about the new […]
If you have not heard me mention my two cat’s before, than allow me to apologize for depriving you so long! They are global cats and can be found here and about online, so send me a link if you think you’ve seen them some where. The very proper orange tabby is Elijah, […]
I came across this strange occurrence out of London. Vandals armed with shrubs and flowers are waging war on public places. I’m sure as gardeners and nature lovers we have all walked by a barren patch of land along a sidewalk or park and thought, “That would look so much better if something […]
David and Deidre Patterson are doing all they can to save this endangered bird in western Australia. The natural habit for these birds is being logged for commercial use.

I’m a huge supporter of green energy. In fact we have plans to live off grid when we build our house in the future. So when I saw this commercial on techsnap.net it immediately caught my attention. It’s very creative. I watched it more than once!

I bought this plant on a whim. I thought it looked pretty cool with all the spots on the leaves. The trouble is, I have no idea what it is! The only identification that was given on the tag was “tropical plant.” This might give you a clue where I bought it, since Wal-mart has […]
