Link to Diaz article entitled "Making Water Potable in Rural Areas"

I found this article interesting, and believe that such information could be used in areas where availability of drinking water is an issue. http://unesco.org.uy/phi/libros/efficient_water/wdiaz.html

Sesame seeds for soil improvement

Sandy soils that have nematode problems can be enriched with sesame seed. Sesame seeds discourage nematodes. Sometimes the seeds will sprout, and the leaves of the plant can be used as an herb in stews or soups, or you can just turn the plants bac...

Wildflowers attract butterflies and honeybees, and can be a beautiful and delicate addition to your yard.

Honeybees are facing malnutrition and need the pollen from many plants in order to survive as a species. Honeybee pollination is crucial to the production of a large portion of the world's food supply

Florida friendly Irises and iris look alikes

The blackberry lily or leopard lily, otherwise known as freckleface is really an orange iris that will grow in Florida but is not a native plant. I am growing these from seeds.

The Spanish iris will grow in Florida, but is from the Mediterranean area. Here is a picture of two blooms on my plant.

Frost preparations yesterday

It was predicted to be 34F degrees last night, 32Fdegrees tonight and 28F degrees Friday night. Luckily it rained recently, which is good, because cold weather is less dangerous for plants if the soil is not dry. Yesterday we brought some frost- sensitive plants that were in containers indoors. These included some out of season tomatoes, zucchini, small turnip and onion plants, some basil, oregano, a starfish cactus, an unusual orchid, the begonias, some small pepper plants, the avocado trees in… Continue

At 9:05pm on January 18, 2009, Mike Pool said…: Nice photography! I enjoy taking pictures of plants. Although, I have an assortment of cameras, I find it adequate to just take a picture with the cell phone. I do, however, use 2 different focal length lenses, one of which is placed over the cell phone's lens that allow for a magnified view of a flower or leaf structure. It must be nice to live in Florida. Such a variety of beautiful plants would grow well there. I see from your blog that you raise zucchini and other vegetables.
I used a solar oven today to cook zucchini, broccoli, and onions in a 1 liter pot and a small amount of rice in a 1/2 liter pot. The sun was shining all day long and we even had a high in the mid 60's. Broccoli is well suited for solar ovens.
The stems cook to tender perfection and the fragile tops are in perfect condition after cooking in the low temperature of the solar oven.

At 3:45pm on August 29, 2008, Lakeside Art & Antiques said…: Hi Stephanie, Whenever I do a mailing I always use photos of the pieces that I am selling. When customers come to a show I love watching them say "Look! That's the piece in the postcard!" It seems to add a bit of "celebrity" status to my pieces making them more desirable and sort of burning the business name into their minds. Also, if someone is interested in a piece but is still on the fence about buying it I give them a postcard or a photo of the piece (with contact information on the back) to keep as a reminder. After giving out a postcard a customer came back about a year later to buy the actual piece. His wife said that he was drooling over the postcard which they had stuck on their refrigerator for a year. Advertising and marketing is a strange field! Do whatever works!

At 1:03pm on August 27, 2008, Lakeside Art & Antiques said…: Hi Stephanie, Thanks for your note. I do a bit of advertising with note cards and postcards for the Lakeside Art & Antiques business. There was a great little article about postcard design in Deliver magazine (Vol. 4, Issue 4, Sept 08) that you might enjoy. I'll see if I can find it on line for you. Thanks for looking and I'll keep you in mind when I need blank note cards. All the Best, Chris Madison Lakeside Art & Antiques
