Companion Planting

Gainesville Sights



Beans + corn + pumpkin (squash) = Companion Planting. It makes total sense. The corn provides a stalk for the beans to climb. The squash provides ground cover. Lots of it.



We have some very cold temps overnight here in Gainesville, FL. That makes it not a very good time to do any spring planting. But, soon, we'll return to normal and look out!… Continue

Juicers, Beauty and Living a Life of Integrity and Joy

Imperial Golden Harvest 9901 Juicer

Meditation and Trungpa



I just got a book called Meditation in Action , by Chogyam Trungpa. I like it a lot. I then read his bio on Wikipedia. Man, it tore him to shreds. On the one hand, he's credited with bringing… Continue
