How to Grow an Eddible Plant Garden at Home for Natural Beauty, Great Regular Excercise and a Bounty of Food to Eat

How to Grow an Eddible Plant Garden at Home for Natural Beauty, Great Regular Excercise and a Bounty of Food to Eat It is Possible to Grow a Lot of Food on a Small Residential Lot or on a Small Acreage. the Benefits Go Beyond Just Harvesting Fruits and Vegitables Lex Loeb Contributor Network . An eddible plant garden can be a very ornimental landscape for your home on a city lot or a larger piece of acreage. The concept is that if you are going to grow plants in your home landscape that you pick plants that bare furits and vegitables.. On smaller urban lots one is limited by making a few careful select choices of plants since space is limited. Space limitations are also a problem for larger pices of land. Selecting plants to grow depends on what you like to eat and on how you want your garden to look. Plants with edible nuts, seeds, fruits and vegitables can be as ornimental as any others. To keep a lot of plants havestable will require perhaps more pruning than letting a landscape go wild. Orinemental landscapes have no harvest but can be just about as much work in up keep including pruning. A primary consideration is to pay attention size the plants and trees will be when they become full grown so that each one selected can get adequate light and water. One has the temptation of buying too many starter plants because they start small and then planting them too close together as a result. American suburbs used to have a lot more practical plants than they do now. In older suburban neighborhods one is likely to see more apple and cherry trees than in newer subdivision which often have a lot of flashy looking plants that have no productive value other than being orniments that may require watering. A home lawn can be just as demanding with no productive value at all except lawn clippings. Having an edible landscape requires manual labor. Plants need care to go on producing adequately. In winter fruit trees need pruning. For best harvest trees need to be kept with branches that can be reached by those dooing the picking. Harvest time is also excercise as is the planting season. I personally like getting the excercise workout working on the farm as opposed to running in circles in gym or presing weights in a health clulb. Farming offers you a farm job that gives you more work than you need and no reason ever to go work out in a gym. Excercise is one of the benefits of having a farm. Yes , I said it, having an edible garden of any kind makes the garden a farm and makes you a farmer. Find out more by search for edible gardens. .

Best Kept Secret Park in Lake Oswego

Best Kept Secret Park in Lake Oswego Great for Bike Riders, Walking and Running with Scenic River Views Lex Loeb Contributor Network . Lake Oswego does not like to advertise some of its best attractions for fear of attracting non-locals. The area has many interesting treasures almost no one from the Portland area bothers to explore. Lake Oswego has long had the cache' of an upper middle class white Anglo Saxon enclave that does not want the company of everyone from the Portland Metro Area coming in. One can't blame the present day city for trying to protect itself against crowds of non local strangers using their public facilities. Anyone who has been to lake Oswego actual lake knows it is a privately owned body of water that does not welcome the public access in anyway. That is not true of the Oswego Furnace Tower in George Rogers Park or Old River Drive that connects to the park's main pathway up along the Willamette river front. Along most of Old River drive the fro

Vines are the Most Intelligent of Plants.

 Ever seen Boston Ivy covering the walls at Ivy League colleges?   That could make them the most intelligent of plants. Vines train themselves to cover territories and structures. They don't just grow toward the sun they find their way to spread their leaves with trial and error until they cover wide areas that satisfy their demands for light and exposure.  Some have tendrils that find a way to spiral around things to rise off the ground and follow the pathways they can take advantage of.  If i was designing an artificial intelligence app or algorithm I would think about vines and how they deal with their environmental factors.    Most plants do also have this ability to grow with a kind of logic, especially the roots which will grow to seek water and nutrients.  Some tropical plants have ariel roots that can seem intelligent too in finding sources of water and nutrients and taking advantage at a considerable distance. If one root becomes disconnected these plants can send out a ne
