Get deals on summer outdoor home items right…NOW
Winter shopping may just make your spring and summer in your Bay Are apartment a bit more dandy. In winter, all we tend to think about is cold: weatherizing our apartments, holiday craziness, and new hot beverages to keep us from turning into icicles. What we aren’t thinking about, though, could be costing us money. [...]

Time to start planting that winter veggie garden
Texas is fortunate enough to have mild winters, which means a much longer growing season than our snowy friends to the north (that is if you count the heat of the summer, when keeping things alive is almost as trying as during a Midwest winter). While the general rule of thumb is to start planting [...]

Herb gardening 101 for Atlanta apartment dwellers
Garden in limited space without limiting your options. Most apartments simply don’t come with an abundance of green space for gardening. (Consider yourself lucky if you’re the exception.)

Dallas nurseries to deck out your deck

Design: from farm-to-table to your living room
The farm-to-table restaurant craze has been pretty hot for a while now, and the industry isn’t showing any signs of quenching the flames. Consumers are fed up with mystery meat, toxic produce, and struggling local economies.

Transitioning your garden for the summer
When spring blooms begin to growing scarce, you know it’s time to transition to summer varieties. Spring served us well. Atlanta received a decent amount of rain (better than years prior, anyway) and we only had one week of a freakish cold front. Most of our flowerbeds survived those chilly days and brought forth their [...]

Little Shop of…Happiness? with cleaner air, fewer bugs
These exotic and carnivorous plants turn your home into a haven of happiness, not a little shop of horrors.

Enjoy this year’s robust bluebonnet season
Every spring the rolling green fields in and around most of the state bloom in an explosion of color during wildflower season.

Bluebonnet season [...]

Beautiful annuals for your garden
Deck out your patio, balcony, or terrace with these lovely blossoms. If you’re like me, your apartment balcony turns into a wasteland during the winter. The potted plants grow more and more pitiful throughout the fall and the first frost of winter just knocks them dead. Content with laziness, I left the withered remains in [...]
