An Underappreciated Herb Comes Into Its Own
It’s time to rejuvenate the flavors of spring with an infrequently explored herb that’s finally sprouting up in kitchens everywhere: thyme.
Its flavor profile, characterized as minty and green, emulates the spirit of spring, making it an essential complement to the season’s most popular foods: seafood, asparagus, new potatoes, mushrooms, baby greens and lemons.
Thyme is a favorite among professional chefs and innovative home cooks, and Americans have begun to embrace it as a pantry staple. Sales have increased by 24% over the last few years as interest in Middle Eastern, Mediterranean and Caribbean cuisines explodes. Thyme is a key ingredient in the Middle Eastern spice blend za’atar, as well as bouquet garni, Herbes de Provence and Jamaican Jerk seasoning. Read more...

 The tomato is the most popular vegetable
grown in the world. (Okay, technically they’re berries, but you don’t usually
see chocolate-covered tomatoes in a grocery store.) They are very easy to grow,
and come in many delicious varieties, from small cherry tomatoes to giant beefsteaks.
They can grow up to ten feet tall, and can fit in as little as one to three
square feet of ground space. Tomato plants can be grown in a container if you
don’t have access to a garden. Whatever variety and flavor you decide to grow, the taste, texture and
nutritional value of your tomato is determined by the soil condition in
your garden. And if you are an organic gardener, you will know that the
health of the soil is the basis for everything else.

Drive around any residential
neighborhood in the country and you’re bound to see the same,
standard landscaping theme—a few shade or flowering trees, a green
lawn and some foundation shrubs around the house. But it doesn’t
have to be that way. Imagine having a yard that looks beautiful and
produces fresh fruit, vegetables and herbs for you without a lot of
extra work. That’s edible landscaping.
Edible landscapes incorporate
food-producing plants into a residential landscape. It’s really
very simple. Instead of planting a purely ornamental tree, shrub or
flower, choose plants that are beautiful and that also produce an
edible crop.

Ah, the rose. No other flower conjures up such passion, sentimentality
and delight. No one is sure exactly what it is about this flower that inspires
such adoration, but my guess is it’s the fragrance. While some modern hybrid
roses aren’t fragrant, there are still many varieties with an intoxicating
scent that will knock your socks off.
Choosing the rose with the best fragrance is impossible because
fragrance is a matter of personal preference. However, there are some varieties
that many agree are incomparable when it comes to an alluring aroma. |

Water is necessary for life, so it's a wonder that it's treated with such disregard. What flows from the tap at home is often polluted with some form of pesticide, industrial chemical, pharmaceutical drug, or other toxin - even after it's passed through a treatment facility.
The ability of water treatment facilities to remove toxic chemicals
such as lead, mercury, arsenic and other toxins is minimal, and in some
geographical areas, non-existent. Even the pipes through which clean
water must travel may itself be the source of toxins. |

”The amount of antioxidants in your body is directly proportional to how
long you will live." - Dr. Richard Cutler, former Director of the
National Institute of Aging, Washington
Antioxidants are the nutritional equivalent of man's best friend - they are
loyal protectors and nurturers of our cells, repelling disease, and promoting
good health. Antioxidants can come from healthy eating or in the form of supplements, and they include a family of
naturally formed components like vitamin A, beta-carotene, lycopene, vitamin E,
and more. They are believed to protect cells from free radicals, harmful oxygen molecules thought to damage cells
that result in cancer, atherosclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, and rheumatoid arthritis, and they may be the underlying reason why we age. |

It’s no
secret that many women suffer through their monthly periods, experiencing
cramps, bloating and lower back pain, to name just a few. But a large number of
them—estimated at anywhere from 30 to 90 percent—also endure the symptoms of
premenstrual syndrome (PMS). Most women feel some discomfort before their
periods. But if you have PMS, you may feel so anxious, depressed, or
uncomfortable that you can't cope at home or at work. |

Fats have gotten a bad rap. Cruise any supermarket aisle, and the promises of
“fat free” and “no trans fats” leap from the shelf. Confused consumers trying to
eat well mistakenly eschew any kind of fat - and think they’re doing their body
a favor. The fact is there are good fats and bad fats and it is important to
know the difference.
Here is something to chew on: eating the right kind of fat isn’t just
delicious, but it is necessary for optimum health. Some fats are so important
that they are called essential fatty acids, and are essential for
proper cell function, brain functioning (especially in children),
hormonal balance, for calming inflammation, and for maintaining healthy skin and
hair. |

Whether you believe global warming is a natural cycle of the planet or
caused by human activity, the Earth is warming, and plants and the environment
are changing because of it. The question is not whether it will continue, but
how severe the results will be. Native ranges of plants may move northward:
Imagine state trees no longer growing in their home states. Without the killing
effects of a cold winter, pests and diseases may be more widespread. Weeds and
invasive species like kudzu may broaden their range. Severe weather, such as
droughts, heavy rainfalls and floods, may be more pronounced.
While all of this sounds ominous, gardeners can help lessen some of the
negative effects of global warming by changing some gardening practices and
demonstrating to others how to become better stewards of the Earth. Consider
these steps. |
