Container Gardening

Juliaacv @Juliaacv (57065) • Canada 19 Jul

Marie Coyle @LadyDuck Anna, we always wonder why, when someone doesn't survive. They may have known more than they said, if he needed to be resuscitated, etc. or have compressions, when someone is very weak and frail that usually doesn't work out well. I am sure it would...

Do You Like Wildflowers?

Anna @LadyDuck (505009) • Italy 28 Aug 15

Which kind of flowers do you prefer? The simple wildflowers that grow spontaneously in the gardens, or the more sophisticated ones? I have a preference for the wildflowers as they require a very little attention. In the pictures...

rebelann1949 There are limited wild flowers here but the few we do have are beautiful to me. Too many people here call them weeds and spray those stupid herbicides to kill them and of course now there are very few bees here. It is a shame.

Caffeine - Good or Bad?

Anna @LadyDuck (505009) • Italy 24 Aug 15

Honestly, I have never cared if coffee is good or bad for my health. I like coffee, I drink it since I was a child and I cannot function without my first cup in the morning. For many years, caffeine was supposed not to be good...

rebelann1949 Yes, finally here in the US they are agreeing with you, it sure did take them long enough, correct? I always have at least one cup a day and on cold days 2 or more. I am in relatively good health so it stands to reason that coffee is good for us.
