Daffodils For Beauty & Income

One of our first harbingers of spring out here in the West: the green, fresh leaves of daffodils, popping up from the cold soil. A late blizzard doesn't faze them at all -- they just lean over protectively, then push up again through the melting snow. Technically, they're known as Narcissus -- a hardy perennial grown from a fleshy bulb that's cold-hardy, and grows in a wide variety of environments. (Provided they get some chilly weather, that is -- daffodils need colder temperatures during their resting season.) They also go by other names, including "narcissus" and "jonquils." Daffodils range from early to late, and come in a bonanza of sizes and colors, ranging from tiny yellow "fairy" daffs to huge "King Alfred" types. Most are … [Read more...]

Rhubarb: The Springtime Special

Who wants anything to do with this weedy-looking plant with the scruffy leaves and bright red stalks? Well, I do. Rhubarb, officially known as Rheum rhabarbarum. It's one of the first plants to show growth in the spring, making it popular as a tonic -- and one of the first sources of the season for fruit crumbles, crisps and pie. (Although it's technically a vegetable.) That's why rhubarb's other name is "pieplant." It was first brought into the United States in the 1820s, and popular with the pioneers, especially in the Midwest and on the East Coast. It's easily grown -- provided you dig a bushel-basket-sized hole, add plenty of manure or compost, and plant the roots (don't mess with seeds) just below the surface. Once established, … [Read more...]

From Zooey Deschanel to Sarah Jessica Parker, they have certain habits -- often ones that they learned when they were poorer and unknown. We can learn from them, they are The Frugal Famous. Tricks From The Frugal Famous Use Coupons Says Sarah Michelle Gellar: "On sale doesn't mean it's bad! It probably just means it's overcaught. And I clip coupons all the time.

Dandelions & Other Greens – A Spring Tonic

Dandelion

Winter's dreary days and slushy landscape doesn't last forever, fortunately. When it finally lets up, Spring gives one of her best presents: tender green growth. These aren't just pretty to look at; their vitamin-packed freshness makes them an excellent source of nutrients, as well. Obviously, you don't want to pick greens from an area that's gotten pesticides, like the average lawn. (Yet another reason to convert to natural fertilizers and weedkillers.) Look for a clean spot with sun, and bring along a sharp knife and a basket. You'll want to keep your eyes open for: Dandelions These 'weeds' have been used as ornamentals, but their specialty has been their edibility for generations. Every part of the dandelion is edible, from its … [Read more...]
