I am typing this in the midst of an illness that has kept almost our entire family sick since last Tuesday. Please forgive me for being brief (and any errors). A very important part of gardening for me is my seeds. I simply love browsing through tons of websites and catalogs each year to find …
Last week, I talked about soil, and how it’s teeming with life. Good soil is a major factor in having a healthy, successful garden each year. Two more things that are also needed for a healthy garden are sunlight and water. I know you’re thinking “Duh! That’s obvious.” Hey, I didn’t say I was reinventing …
This month I will be talking all about gardening. The days are getting longer, and Spring will soon be here. It’s time to start thinking about and planting our gardens. I’m not an expert gardener by any means. I am learning so much as I go along though. I previously thought you just put a …
I don’t like to bring up controversial issues because I’m not for confrontation at all. However, this month for me has brought an elephant into the room that I need to address.

It’s almost that time again. It’s every football fan’s favorite time of the sports season. Yep, it’s the Superbowl. All games have been played, and it’s down to these final two teams. They get to show off their talents and use their skills to hopefully bring home the coveted trophy and bragging rights for the …
