" Need to recharge your brain? Step outside "

Here is how it works: Modern life — commuting, computing, paying taxes — can place a burden on our brains and bodies. In recent years, scientists at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign's Landscape and Human Health Laboratory and elsewhere have compiled evidence that suggests that a connection to nature is vital to our psychological and physical health because it helps recharge our brains so that we're better able to cope with the stresses in life.

Sweet greenhouse!

Wonderful greenhouse. Thanks for publishing the growing list....glad to see eggplant.

We use a makeshift greenhouse in the winter for our plants...this year we had praying mantis hatch in January. A couple of mantis are still with us and the headstart did not seem to give them any competitive size advantage...they have grown slowly.

I have researched blue corn popcorn and it ends-up white when popped.
