Knowledge:
Play Your Vegetables
My friend Daryl
Pulis sent me information about The Vegetable Orchestra. They
perform music solely on instruments made of vegetables. Using carrot
flutes, pumpkin basses, leek violins, leek-zucchini-vibrators,
cucumberophones and celery bongos, the orchestra creates its own
extraordinary sound universe. At the end of concerts the audience is
offered fresh vegetable soup. Click

Tip
Capturing Rain Water
 You would be shocked
to learn how much water runs off the average roof and is piped out of
the landscape. What a shame to not keep that water for use at a later
time. Now you can. With a professionally installed system you can
collect hundreds if not thousands of gallons of water.

Poinsettias do not need
fertilizing now but they do need watering. Check the dryness of the
soil daily to keep them looking their brilliant best.
