Soil Temp, Key Factor on When It's Time to Plant
My friends at Garden Supply have a neat article called When is it Warm Enough to Plant? It’s a neat approach to knowing what to plant in your garden without having to study each and every seed packet that you buy and looking up Gardening Zones, etc. While a zone is great for a broad range rule of thumb, this article will explain and chart the optimal temperature for planting as well as the temperature for germination! Another reason why Garden Zones are not fool proof is that they have recently changed. Whether you attribute those climate changes to our global warming or not, the fact remains that the zones…

Tag Clouds, Snapshot Of Your Theme Message?
Tag Cloud defined by Wikipedia: A tag cloud or word cloud (or weighted list in visual design) is a visual depiction of user-generated tags, or simply the word content of a site, used typically to describe the content of web sites. Tags are usually single words and are typically listed alphabetically, and the importance of a tag is shown with font size or color.[1] This Tag Cloud is from Twittersheep.com and I think the basis is about the keywords in the bio’s of your twitter followers. I liked the key words that I saw in mine! How diverse is your tag cloud? Does it convey in a key word snap…

Rosemary Bush Trimming – Follow up on How to cut Rosemary
I always post a link to my blog post on twitter which then feeds to facebook. My last post was “How to clip Rosemary“. On twitter, a friend asked this question: @Margaret_3: How do you prune rosemary?. I have a bush that needs re-shaping. Can I really cut it back to the woody part? My answer in 140 characters: The rule of thumb is to cut back no more than 1/3 of the leaves at one time. Trim now, add to calender to trim in 1 mo. Since I have a bit more room than 140 characters, I’ll qualify what I said. The rule of thumb is really cut back…

How To Clip Rosemary
How do you clip rosemary in your yard? The first question I’d ask, is how old is your rosemary bush? If your rosemary bushes have been around as long as mine have, the method of clipping rosemary can be a bit more involved. I live in gardening zone 8 which means that it’s warm enough here in the Atlanta area for rosemary to over winter without dying. That’s not to say that is doesn’t have its set backs from time to time, but over all my rosemary bushes thrive. Thriving rosemary bushes means they grow fast and must be clipped often. I usually remove the brown branches in the spring time…

Blue Whales do have a predator….
We enjoyed watching National Geographic ‘s documentary “Kingdom of the Blue Whale” last week. It seems that many facts that were only suspected before about blue whales were revealed and proven during the show. There were investigations of where blue whales go to have their babies, go to breed, over winter, etc. Some if not all of these hypothesizes were confirmed during the show. One of the most impactful points in the whole show aside from getting glimpses of beautiful baby blue whales was the show of the blue whales major predator, man. They are on the endangered species list, I know. Yet they are still getting hurt and killed…
