Royal Visitor to the Coneflowers! I read a very informative article, by a most knowledgeable man, about a species, the habitat of which is endangered in many parts of the world. I never thought about insects becoming threatened with extinction, but losing the incredible Monarch butterfly? Well that got my attention. Everyone loves them, you can't help it, they are so richly colored and their

Ornamental Onion When we think of flowering bulbs, our thoughts tend to turn to spring. Everyone looks forward to the end of the long cold winter and anticipates the appearance of the early spring flowering bulbs such as crocuses, daffodils and tulips. However, the bulb season doesn't end with spring - with the right plant choices you can enjoy flowering bulbs through the summer months as well

I always knew there were slugs in my garden, they did a little damage here and there, but for the most part they left most of my plants alone. They did, that is, until last spring when I got it into my head to plant myself some Chinese Cabbage. Apparently slugs like Chinese Cabbage, very much. Within a few days my beautiful little seedlings were reduced to practically nothing. I was very upset.

Gardeners are full of patience. Well, usually we are, but seed starting can really be a trial. We can go nuts waiting for our newly planted seeds to germinate and sprout. We all do it, we plant our seeds in the garden or pots and spend the next week checking to see if there are any signs of life. Well you can make your seeds sprout more quickly and give your garden plants a healthy head-start.

Parsley gets a bum rap. At worst, people see it as a pretty garnish on the side of their plates. At best, they may use it here and there, from time-to-time, as a seasoning. This is so unfair, both to us and the parsley, because this modest unassuming herb is actually a superhero of the of the food world.No really I kid you not. Parsley is on the World's Healthiest Foods list. You don't get on

There are many ways to start seeds including using straight vermiculite or planting with peat pellets. However you shouldn't just scoop up some dirt from your garden to start them in. To promote the best rate of germination, and maximize plant growth you need to optimize the environment for your seeds. That way your seedlings will have the best head start possible on becoming healthy garden

Diagonal stripe patterns are very popular when producing Web 2.0 design styles. On Meanderfly, I have used a diagonal stripe background on my post headings. It is not unusual to see this style used in web page headers, menu backgrounds, content boxes, buttons, logos and more. I decided to provide a kind of general tutorial for producing this popular Web 2.0 graphic design style. In addition I am

I got very frustrated while I was scrambling around trying to get the Meanderfly blog styled just the way I wanted. I could not for the life of me figure out how to get one of those neat little social bookmarking buttons at the end of each of my blog posts. You know the one I mean, just like this one: Actually I wanted one that had a drop down window where the reader could select their

Time to get a head start on that garden! Every good gardener needs seed starting pots for spring. So... Welcome to the Newspaper Seed Starting Pots Tutorial! Save money and be kind to the earth by recycling old newspapers into biodegradable pots. You can also reduce transplanting shock to your seedlings by leaving them in the pots at planting time - the pots will break down harmlessly in your
