Invasive Species in Britain
The deer around my house are doing a good job of eating my rhododendron. I am surprised to hear it's considered invasive for the reason you described. I wonder if it's a different variety than what I am used to here in the US. I don't think ...

Rape Culture in America
Thank you for reading and responding. I wrote this almost a year ago and I'm glad it's still having an impact. I felt it was very important to share and I'm so happy to see other supporters as well. I hope all stereotypes of rape can be broken ...

Invasive Species in Britain
The natural vegetation in much of Britain is forest, and our island keeps its characteristic green fields only by holding forest back, so if humans were gone the forests would return. So most of our tall plants are trees. We therefore have ...

Invasive Species in Britain
That makes sense, now that I think about it...the ecosystems in Britain are so different from here...here, the natural state of things are tall, relatively dense forests, but from what little I've seen of Britain's natural ecosystems, it makes ...

Eastern Redbud: Spring's Early Pleasing Pastel of Magenta Pink
I love redbud trees! I find they readily self-seed too, and are easy to grow from seed, so if you are lucky enough to live near a wild population of them you can easily gather a few seeds and grow them yourself!

Rape Culture in America
This stuff really bothers me. I am really glad though that the term "rape culture" is starting to break into the mainstream. I don't think I realized, when I was younger, how rape is really a cultural issue--i.e. it's caused and facilitated and ...

Invasive Species in Britain
Allowing tall natives to outgrow knotweed is a useful technique, but here we have nothing of that kind to compete with it.
There is talk in Britain of re-introducing wolves in parts of Scotland to balance out excessive deer numbers, but there ...

Invasive Species in Britain
We also have a huge problem with Japanese knotweed here in Southeast PA. I've read about it being a problem in Britain too. I've had very good luck controlling it here, by allowing tall-growing native plants to grow up in its place, and ...

Watermelon Perler Beads Fruit Pattern
What a fun craft idea! It won't be long until summer and making crafts will be better for kids than sitting in front of the TV on being on the computer all day.

Gardening with Kids
I do not know the situation where you live in the USA, but here in Britain, according to an article in today's Independent [a quality British newspaper] there is a shortage of young people entering horticulture [a subject in which I am ...

Thank you Nancy! I love small flower gardens. I run an in-home preschool and they can't wait to get out there and plant some pretty spring flowers.
