Over the last month, New Jersey has experienced an earthquake, and got blasted by Hurricane Irene. I feel like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz with all the freaky weather and hoping my house doesn’t fall on the Wicked Witch of the West. We all know how that story played out. But I wanted to [...]

Yesterday, I tackled the unimaginable. Garden #1. My garden looks like a madwoman lives there. Oregano had gone wild invading every nook and cranny. (One my invasive thug plants even Tony Soprano hates.) Grass, clover, and a bunch of no name weeds are everywhere. At this point, I can’t even find my vegetables. And [...]

Freedman of Wildlife-Houses sent me this email recently, and I could not resist reprinting it in full because I am an avid gardener and an animal lover. With only a few weeks until Spring, read on how to attract [...]
Check out GT’s dog treat giveaway! Much to my children’s dismay, we don’t own a dog. I always blamed it on my oldest son’s asthma. “We don’t need hair everywhere since it will make #1 Son’s asthma worse,” was my standard line.
