How I Discovered Lichens
Nature provides such rich environments that my senses can't comprehend all of the details at once. Then, I actually <b>see</b> something for the first time and I get this real thrill of discovery. After that my curiousity takes over. Here's what happened when I discovered lichens.

Hot, Hot, Hot Garden
Is it hot enough for you, yet? It certainly is for me! Like my plants, I droop when the temperatures soar. Gardening tasks are done in slow motion, if done at all...plenty of time to contemplate the weather and its effect on plants and the gardener.

Mysterious green crust on a blasted planet
Lichens are the dominant form of vegetation on eight per cent of the earth's land surface, and a major contributor of nutrients to barren environments such as desert and tundra. They are a key indicator of ecological change and a warning signal of decline. Use the internet to learn about them and use them to monitor environmental health where you live.

Understanding Fertilizers
Fertilizing is very important especially to young plants, but unfortunately the topic is very often misunderstood. Too much emphasis is put on the 3 NPK elements and the remaining elements ignored. Also, gardeners are increasingly advised to use products such as Epsom Salts on Roses, Iron on Lawns, without knowledge why and what it can and can not do. This article will explain what fertilizer is, how and when to use them.

Tulip Shopping List
Tulips are without doubt among the most popular garden flowers due to their easy care and huge impression in the spring garden when little else is in flower. Since it is clearly not always easy to go shopping for tulips due to the huge availability, I have suggested a shopping list with some choices which have performed well for me. The shopping list includes only readily available tulips which provide for a long flowering period, which perennialize well (comes back), and which simply look fantastic. Included in the article is also information on vernalization (cooling), planting and care, and tulip bed design using only tulips from the shopping list.

Lilies, do you want more ?
Lilies multiply very easily producing large clumps. If you have never wondered what the small white or pink pea-sized lumps were that you found in the soil after cutting back the brown stems in late fall, you may have come acros miniature lily bulbs... learn how to encourage, harvest and grow FREE lilies. In the process we will also explain how to tell real lilies from other plants borrowing their name, and illustrate the differences between Oriental lilies and Asiatic lilies. Finally we will go through the preferred propagation methods for each of them. Do you have enough free lilies ?

Fish have been dying in great numbers across the United States--for years. Try an estimated 11.7 million in one year in 22 states. Try 14.3 million in Texas in less than a year. A million in one month in North Carolina. It's not just fish either. Dolphins, sea turtles, whales, sea lions, seals and birds die too. And people become ill.
