Seeds of Freedom are here, RIGHT NOW!

Organic Gardening isn't for Sissies, Part 3 (and final)
So, determined as I have been to be an organic grower...I pulled a lot of weeds today. Thistles, dandelions and bindweed. This photo doesn't do the pile justice. Part of me was thinking I should have just

Don't Get Mad, Get Curious!
There have been many times I've allowed others to make me mad. I've chosen to surrender my autonomy, my proactivity by allowing others' actions to dictate how I feel. Are you guilty of the same thing?

Organic Gardening is not for Sissies - Part 2
Don't be fooled by these pretty little flowers... ...if you've never seen them, they are from a plant called "Bindweed". Bindweed is DEMONIC! Because it is a vine, it grows very quickly, crowds

Organic Gardening isn't for Sissies!
So about five years ago I decided that the hillside facing the south at my house was going to be an organic food forest/garden. Had I the slightest idea of what that decision would cost me in time and

Have you succumbed to "P.M.S."?
Yesterday I met Gary, a disabled man who was until recently, very "un-disabled." Gary is still young enough to work as he is in his mid-fifties, but he recently retired due to health reasons.

Why are the bees dying?
This is a prevalent question that I hear almost every day. And the truth is that right now is a tough time to be a honeybee. There are so many factors that are working against honeybees that it's difficult
