We moved into a smaller house about a year ago with our eye on retirement and expenses. I love my little house, but the backyard is more shade than sun. Here in the south, that’s not a bad thing, but it’s hard to get grass to...

I came across these after going nursery to nursery and I think Succulents truly do not get well deserved attention! I came across a pretty Succulent Terranium on Martha Stewart, it can be found...

Marie Anne @Ldyjarhead (10233) • United States 19 Mar 08

What do you do for your vegetable garden? Do you start your own seeds or buy seedling plants already started? I've done both, depending on the particular variety of vegetable. I think I want to try some tomatoes from...
