Growing a better environment, one garden at a time
I found a nice gardening blog where the recipes are all collected under one heading, and the recipes sound good. Check out the ‘Pink Thumbs’ blog site. Anita, the author, says, “I try to use everything and make new recipes from everything I harvest.” Her favorites include: chicken corn chowder, Salsa, Lime Basil sorbet, Zucchini flowers stuffed with cheese, and Eggplant stack
Here is a web site I found that has the most comprehensive list of invasive plant resources around. It has a boatload of information on a wide range of subjects listed by state, region, many other criteria. Their website says it best…

Several groups are working to stop the threat of non-native invasive species. Federal and state agencies, educational institutions and community organizations are working with each other. You can also find data, research and alternatives to planting invasives. You can search our collection of links by topic or by location. Our thanks to Saint Louis University doctoral student Keefe Reuther for his work on researching, compling and verifying the data in this directory.

Here is a quick review of a piece of software I use and recommend. It is called GrowVeg, and it is an on-line, light-weight Java application that runs in your browser – you don’t even have to load any software.
You start by setting your location and climate zone, and giving a name to your garden(s).
GrowVeg provides a drag-and-drop interface that lets you first design your garden area, then drag crops to your garden lay-out and stretch the rows out to fit. When you are done, it prints planting charts with dates for starting, setting out and harvesting each crop, number of plants needed, and more.
Successive seasons are planned starting with a copy of you garden. As you add new crops to the garden, it reminds you to practice crop rotation.
