Yerba Life

Alois Podhajsky, the head of the famous Spanish Riding School. As a horse crazy kid, I was in awe of these magnificent animals and it was then that I vowed to see them in person sometime in my life.

So the female, which is a potent queen, will find a protected place such a one listed above and start working. They go through an annual cycle which we can start artificially with the winter move as it is now the beginning of Austral winter and wasps...

At that point they were so ripe that the oat seed shattered out and replanted itself, giving us another crop of green oats that were mowed in October and baled and wrapped as baleage, hay too wet to keep as dry hay that is wrapped in plastic and left...

I live on a very tiny island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. We live on an island covered with coconut palms, with bright sunshine and sometimes you could swim through our humid air.

Then around the turn of the century the red showed up, probably from Mexico and just who brought it in is a matter of debate. The plumeria traveled yet again. At the end of the Battle of Kwajalein, the story goes, there was only one palm tree left standing.

If you have enough time, reliable legs and a good heart you can walk across the whole island--some people even run from St-Joseph to St-Denis on the North coast, an event known as ‘la diagonale des fous' as you certainly have to be a little crazy to...

From there you catch a taxi to the main town by the strange name of Hell Ville. And of course, like all over in Madagascar, people raise buffalos which provide power to plough fields, pull carts and provide tasty (though often tough) meat.

Get more and spend less when you buy these items together. The collar is a size Extra Small and is ideal for dogs with a neck size between 6-9 inches. Vibrant Life's collar is fully adjustable for a comfortable and perfect fit.

A peacock can have a wingspan of up to six feet, so make sure that this is taken into consideration when building a pen and perches. Many also live and breed in parks and gardens. Their feet are the one area of concern for those that raise them where...

Those guides have a training given by the ANVAR, a state organism that is responsible for all nature reserves. Some of those guides will only be able to distinguish a fern from an orchid but some are very good, mainly those who worked on the field with...

French people started to settle in 1665, and coffee as well as sugarcane crops which began in the 18th century required many slaves from India, Africa and Madagascar. The climate is therefore tropical, tempered by altitude on Reunion, with basically two...

The name of this type of chicken is a Dominique. Bocker gift from Tillers Foundation Intl.,Scotts, MI "Renewable resources for the world"All pictures created and owned by Sheri Williams who stayed up very late trying to make them viewable

The reward will be a swim in cool, pure fresh water under a huge waterfall. But we will not indulge into such trivial and cliched activities; our aim is off the beaten tracks.Well, we made it back! A little sweaty, muddy feet and sore legs but much satisfied...

They find it very palatible and are able to keep ahead of it's growth, most years. This is always planted after second cut hay in the field that will be reseeded the next year and takes the place of corn in our crop rotation.

Kentucky and Tennessee lead by a good margin the 26 states with some commercial sweet sorghum farming. One estimate is that around 30,000 acres of sweet sorghum are currently being farmed.

I drew up an outline to help streamline my thoughts and then I realized that for such a tiny place, there is sure a lot to say about it! Kwajalein is an island in an atoll of the same name, in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.

As I was given the chance to visit the place last month I thought you may want to join and discover this fascinating and poorly known part of the world. The French Revolution (1797) gave Guiane the legal status of department and started to set up penal...

The days are so short is seems the lightbulbs are always on in our house. The hay smells as good to them as it does to me. The huge Canadian geese are queing up and taking a rest stop at some of the larger lakes here.

This pollen is distributed by wind, though it tends to fall within a yard or two of the parent plant. The detasselers have a deceptively simple job: reach up to the top of the stalk, pull out the tassel, and toss it on the ground.

So we only saw six of those fascinating plants that creep, climb and slowly but surely can cover an ugly fence or uninteresting decaying plant, we still have many more to discover, so be sure to come back!

I wonder if you would appreciate the flowers here on the farm and pretend you are walking with me. I want to kneel in the dirt with you and show you what good soil is, what a good strong root system is and how to mulch to save water and keep weeds down.

We can now walk out of this ravine and go back to civilization, maybe enjoying a drink by the lagoon before heading home to the garden. We will anyhow be back as there still are around many interesting vines waiting for us to admire them!

To say the least, it was laughable. Hagans' two favorite gardening books, Carla Emery's book: The Country Persons Encyclopedia and John Jeavons' book: How to Grow More Vegetables on the Bio- Intensive Method, you might like to try these sources.

Farm animals such as roosters, pigs and cows were popular subjects in rural areas, while horses, arrows and Indian figureheads predominated in the West. This weather vane bore the body of a man and the tail of a fish in honor of Triton, Greek god of the...

Let us see anyway what flies and crawls here. I hope you enjoy this small garden tour, all those little guys live harmoniously here and help to keep a natural balance so pest control is reduced to eating wasps larvae as stated in a previous article...I...
