Gardening for food is plain hard work, but successful and lovely gardens are beautiful to see as well as productive.

Review: Amber jewelry for pain?
September 6, 2013 By
There are many wonderful, natural remedies that work remarkably well to help support our bodies, relieve stress, ease pain and combat illnesses.

Review: PurifiCup portable water filter
August 25, 2013 By
Clean, safe drinking water is essential for life and survival, whether in every day life or in any type of emergency. The first and most survival need is water safe enough to drink.

July 14, 2013 By
We love ice cream cones, but they must be sugar cones to be acceptable for our crew. Over the years I have made my own organic ice cream in several ways (ice cream maker, VitaMix, frozen pops), but because our daughter is dairy-free, we needed to find a sorbet we liked. I developed a recipe […]
