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…

Tansy – Attraction and repellent?
Spring is coming!! This is tansy that grows as a perennial in my yard. (perennial meaning that it will come back every spring season.) The foliage of this plant is very much like a fern and the flowers are yellow, round and small clusters like the picture above. There is good reason why this plant is also called golden buttons. The odor tansy gives off is a bit pungent but it has specific purpose in the garden. Tansy is known to repel the “bad” bugs AND attract the beneficial bugs to your garden or yard. Some of the beneficial bugs this lovely plant will attract are lady bugs, spined soldier bugs, spiders, hover-flies, praying…

Rosehips from Raintree Nursery
While you are busy planting those blueberry bushes…consider what to place in the planting bed with them. How about a rose variety that produce rose hips? I did the same thing as I did with the blueberry bushes. I planted them and forgot about them…until they began to bloom! Move over “knock out” roses! (they might be pretty but they don’t produce these beautiful rose hips!) I don’t know about you, but I’d rather have beauty AND purpose in my planting beds! The most Vitamin C you’ll find is in rose hips. It was recommended to me several years ago to plant a certain kind of rose bush that produces…

Klean Kanteen just in!
After reading Crunchy Domestic Goddesses Blog post “Getting kids on the bottle – water bottle, that is” and then doing a little bit of research for my own blog post “Plastic Recycle numbers, do you read plastic labels too?“, I found that my beloved Nalgene water bottles could be causing harm to my family! ACK! Bisphenol A, a compound in hard, clear polycarbonate plastics that mimics the effects of estrogen, has raised particular concern because it interferes with hormone levels and cell signaling systems. While it is important to mention that Nalgene no longer sells water bottles with BPA, they were not diligent in contacting customers to let them know…

Plant those Blueberry bushes in the yard and forget them till summer!
This Blog post in inspired by an article that I found from Chelseagreen’s blog “Grow Berries in Your Low-Light Urban Space“ I found the article on twitter and retweeted the link also adding that I have 2 bushes in my yard. @Chelseagreen requested a picture of my blueberries. I was not in a place where I could go find the good pictures of the bushes. In the article, it talks about how low light is not a problem with these bushes. My spot where I planted them gets direct sunlight for most of the day. To offer the lovelies a little bit of shade, I have Canna Lilies that sprout…
