Backyard Farming In Georgia

Getting back to basics is now on the radar for A LOT of people around the country. What could be more basic than growing your own fruits & vegetables? Like many people, I am attracted to the idea of walking out my back door & finding fresh tomatoes & lettuce and the like, BUT I don't have the time or the equipment necessary to put in a large garden.


This article appeared in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution recently & got me thinking about a new option for fresh food, without all the hassle of hoeing & weeding. I hope you enjoy the information as much as I did and can put some of these ideas to work for you!

Growing food in pots can be easier than planting  | ajchomefinder.com

Don't let the fact that you are selling your home stand in your way of having a garden this year!  In my humble opinion, the beauty of the garden holds great appeal for many buyers and makes your home standout from the crowd.  Make your home feel ALIVE, VIBRANT & HEALTHY with your very own garden!

Decatur Equine Rescue Facility To Close July 1

As a long time horse-lover, I was saddened to see that the Decatur, Ga. Equine Rescue facility will be closing soon.  As the economy continues to worsen, the need for facilities like this will only increase.  I hope that some of you out there can put organizations that rescue animals on your charity radar.  Whether it's a monetary contribution or just volunteering to help, we can all make a difference!

The beauty and grace of the horse and it's willingness to share it with man,

is unmatched in the animal kingdom!
