As online dating in the entire world is becoming more and more popular and accepted it has on the other hand become more difficult to think of an original and good date as most ideas have become quite standard. We at Wilbur-Ellis are experts in gardening, and from personal experience we know that your own garden is the best place for a first date. As I am from Canada, I went online and searched the term rencontre gratuit, which is free dating for non- French speaking Canadians; I joined a dating site, talked to some girls and planned my first date in my garden. And I can tell you that all the girls went from cautious to head over heels when they saw my garden. Of course, if your garden is in excellent condition and looks like heaven on earth, this will make your dream girl become all ‘gaga’ about you and the dream or picture you portray with your garden. Love is actually like a garden; if you give water, sunlight and good soil, your flower will become beautiful. But if you don’t show it as much love, the flower will not flourish as it potentially can be.

All I can say is to take a good peek at the gardening products we offer and improve your garden, even if it is just for the sake of finding love.

Nowadays with the plummeting US and also global housing markets, investing in your house and garden has been becoming more important how to make your house more attractive to the others houses that are for sale. A house with a unmaintained garden can look less attractive to potential buyers, even though new buyers can become more creative in filling in their own fantasy ‘perfect’ garden. Buyers of existing homes want to be seduced by the dream you are offering to them. Even taking down a personal loan can be an advantageous investment into the value of your home. This does not only is the case for the US housing market but also for the Belgian housing market, where a personal loan is called persoonlijke lening, which you can use to renovate your home and garden. We believe that taking a loan at a decent interest rate can improve the value of your home as it gives your home this extra spirit or let’s call it life, which can increase the emotional value of home buyers.

The products we offer at Wilbur-Ellis Company can help you realize your dreams and the dreams of your future home buyers and the emotion your garden elicits with them.

Did you know that you can pick up a ringworm infection while you’re doing the gardening?  Ringworm is a common skin fungus infection that occurs when you come into contact with a particular type of keratin loving fungus known as a dermatophyte.  (It’s not caused by a worm!)

Ringworm is very common indeed and can affect different parts of the body.  If it affects the skin between the toes it’s known as ringworm of the foot or Athletes foot.  Nail fungus infections are also a form of ringworm, known in the medical profession as Onychomycosis.  Most can be treated with an antifungal cream although nail fungus treatments can take a long time as the fungus is located in a hard-to-reach position underneath the nail.

Yes, you’ve guessed it, the fungus is found in soil.  In fact it’s pretty ubiquitous wherever conditions are damp, dark and protected.

I’m pretty sure I developed my ringworm infection from digging around in my damp vegetable beds for several months this summer.  I spent ages mixing in some new fertilizer that I bought.  I’m a bit lax at washing my hands after grubbing around in the soil which probably served to make matters worse.   Also my dermatologist told me that any injury or trauma to my hands an nails will lower the local immunity and provide an easy entry point for fungal organisms to infect my skin and nails.

My vegetables are growing great guns thanks to the friable soil (all that mixing) and the nutrient from the fertilizer.  Great news.  But it’s probably time for a pair of good quality gardening gloves.

The Burlingham family originated in Norfolk in England where the name is associated with the village of Burlingham. The coat of arms has a gold background and has a red vertical band running down the centre with three silver balls superimposed on the band.

The first ancestor found with the name was Hugh de Byrlingham in 1273 – spelling didn’t matter much in those days and someone could be born with one spelling, be married with another, and his death records could have a third variation of the spelling. It is said that William Shakespeare spelt his name in five different ways.

The place name Burlingham is constructed of two elements: ‘Burling’ and ‘ame’. Burling is believed to be derived from a diminutive form of an Old English given name Burgheard, while ‘ame’ is derived from ‘ham’ meaning a hamlet. So the full name means ‘Burling’s homestead’.

The origin of the coat of arms is not known.

Listening to NPR over lunch today, I heard a forestry science professor from Yale University talk about the severity of logging issues in Indonesia. Lisa Curran discussed the massive deforestation taking place in the rainforest to produce Palm oil, a highly productive oil seed, and the key ingredient in many processed desserts. Her interviewer (Dick Gordon, The Story) expressed his guilt over having purchased items that have contributed to this corruption of the environment; seemingly innocent products such as instant jello and peanut M&M’s. It made me think of my reaction to a PETA flyer that I had seen, decrying the effects of the meat-eating lifestyle on the environment. Listening to The Story I thought to myself, “if Dick Gordon should feel guilty about eating M&Ms, maybe we should all know–and have the opportunity to feel guilty about–what it means to have high cholesterol foods in our diets.” Here are some of the facts, you make the call:

• 2.9 million acres of rainforest were destroyed in the 2004-2005 crop season in order to grow feed for chickens and other animals in factory farms. (Greenpeace, “Eating up the Amazon”)
• 1/3 of all raw materials and fossil fuel used in the US goes to raising animals for food. (PETA, “Go Veg”)
• Nearly 1/2 of the water used in the US goes to raising animals for food. (National Audobon Society)
• 20 tons of manure are produced for every household in the US each year. (Union of Concerned Scientists)

If this is enough to have you convinced, check out PETA’s free vegetarian starter kit! If not, think about these facts when you go to order your next buritto at cosmic–our diets have an effect on the environment!

There’s nothing quite like just popping out into the garden to pick some vegetables to eat them straight away. You’ll know yourself just exactly what chemical have or haven’t been used. Ideally, you’ll be able to grow organically meaning that your produce will be the healthiest it can be.

Greens, in particular Brassica, e.g. broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, kale, etc. are well known for the rich supply of nutrients that they offer. Being told to eat your greens is something that many of us have heard since we were young. Some of us love them, while others, not so much.

A popular option now a days is to make a so called green juice. Take a look at this Omega VRT350HD juicer review to see why so many people are picking this machine to make their green drinks. I enjoy eating my vegetables but for many people, drinking the goodness is easier.

I’ve just come back from staying in a small town on the South Western Coast of Turkey.  It was a small town called Kas which although fairly busy during the Summer seems almost deserted during the Winter months.  Although I had pretty much all the modern cons available to  me, one thing I did notice is how much waste my lifestyle there generated compared to living in the UK.  I heated my rooms using wood and paper logs generated from my handy little paper log maker.  Every time I went to the market for food, I was amazed at the lack of packaging I was left with, no piles of plastic and endless cardboard and trays.

As far as food goes, I wasted a lot less – you have to think about your meals a little more as there was no supermarket nearby.  But this meant I didn’t get swamped with food past it’s sell by date and piles of TV dinners that I never really wanted.   Meals did take a little longer to prepare however I think that helped me appreciate it more.  You take your time eating something that’s taken a bit of time to prepare compared with something you just take out of the microwave after 4 minutes.

I am glad to be back though although the internet was certainly responsible for me not feeling that homesick.   When I figured out the technology required to watch BBC Iplayer abroad, watching the news every night from the BBC solved that.  Had I been restricted to Star TV and the other Turkish TV stations I’m sure I would have felt rather differently though.

It’s definitely made me think about my lifestyle here though, although you see lots of fresh food in the supermarkets here – I don’t seem to eat as much of it.  The stupid offers trying to force me to buy more than I need was instantly annoying although I’ve started to train myself to ignore these completely.  But in the end it was the climate I missed here – Turkey has a lot of sun but perhaps just a little too much for me.  The Summer heat is pretty oppressive even when you’ve become climatized, the drizzle of a November day in the UK was actually rather pleasant.

I recently treated myself to a new Gaggia Classic coffee machine. Now I’ve always enjoyed a cup of coffee but now that I have my new toy my caffeine intake is higher than ever. Anyway as I finished preparing my umpteenth cup of coffee the other day I got to thinking that, in these days of re-use and recycle, it was a shame there wasn’t some use I could put all these used coffee grinds to.

Turns out there is. One use for coffee grinds is to sprinkle them around the plants in your garden before you water them. This apparently creates a slow-release of nitrogen into the soil which is good because Nitrogen is an important element of plant development.  Let the grinds dry  first and then ease them into the soil around your plants. If you have a compost heap you can just dump them in. Coffee grinds are acidic which makes them a good choice for mulching rhododendrons, azalea and plants that prefer acid soil.

As energy costs skyrocket, many families are searching for less expensive methods to heat their homes this winter.  One ‘back to basics’ idea that many have taken up is burning firewood for a nice warm, cozy fire in the fireplace.  This not only provides warmth, but it actually brings many families closer together as the entire group spends more time in one particular room of the house, which naturally leads to more conversation and quality family time.

If you’re going to burn a significant amount of firewood this winter then you need to start contemplating an efficient and safe way to store the wood.  Most people just pile up the firewood in their back yard, but the more professional way to store it is by either constructing or purchasing a firewood rack.

A firewood storage rack’s primary purpose is to organize the firewood, keep it off the ground, and protect it from the elements.  As most people are aware, water and moisture are the main enemies of firewood.  A concern is therefore usually keeping the wood covered when there’s precipitation falling.

This is accurate; however the more insidious method of moisture transfer is actually from the ground.  So a standard pile of firewood in someone’s yard is sitting on the ground is constantly transferring moisture to the bottom layer of firewood.  Since this wood is perpetually wet, it will invariably rot and become worthless for burning.  Simply taking it off the ground and putting the wood on a structure like a firewood rack will eliminate this problem.

Many racks such as the Woodhaven firewood rack will come standard with an adjustable half cover to keep the rain off the top of the wood while still allowing the wood to get the ventilation it needs.

Finally, safety is another reason to purchase a log rack.  Instead of having a loose pile of heavy firewood in your yard that could tumble at any given moment, storing it in a rack will secure the wood and eliminate the potential safety (and lawsuit) hazard.

You have probably heard the word curb appeal a hundred times before. However, many people truly don’t understand the importance of it in the real estate business. Whether you are selling your home in the St George real estate or across the World in Australia you will want curb appeal. Therefore in this article we will cover a few basics behind curb appeal.

The first main part of curb appeal is the yard in front and behind the house. To begin improving your curb appeal you will want to pick up a fertilizer for your garden, bushes, and lawn. You need to ensure each of these is properly fertilized and watered. You want your yard to look as healthy and lively as possible.

Next for curb appeal you will want to ensure that your house looks the best possible. If your house is starting to look old and warn you should consider repainting it. If you are unsure about a color you should always go with a neutral color that wont age. If you need additional help selecting color check with your local paint shops.

Lastly when improving your curb appeal make sure all other smaller items on the house look good. For example a new front door can make your house really pop. You may even consider painting the door brighter lighter color to make it stand out. As part of fixing up the smaller things always makes sure your yard and house are picked up. There is nothing worse than going to a home that is cluttered and ugly.

Diabetes and those with this diagnosis are caught in politics. It seems actually ridiculous but it remains to be true. In fact, a variety of people are caught up in this problem.

An international congress is scheduled for September 19, 2011. This meeting is focused on discussing how to interrupt the progress of the world-wide epidemic of non-communicable diseases (NCDs). This disease group includes cancer, diabetes, and heart conditions. There is a serious problem with all of these issues around the world. For anyone suffering from diabetes, you understand the challenge.

In Europe alone over 85% of the deaths are the result of NCDs. At the same time, over 80% of the financial resources are also expended to treat this group of health problems. In the United States death from NCDs is at least 70% with costs estimated to be in the billions. In fact the problem is world-wide and across all levels of social and economic status.

This is why some of the groups scheduled to participate in the congress are raising the alarm. With the event so close, very little forward motion seems to be happening as the event approaches. Goals, objectives and plans are not being set for the event of concern for the entire planet.

Although many individual organizations want support from the United Nations, it actually appears to be limiting the potential success for the meeting. With so many countries spending vast amounts of money and research to treat and understand diseases such as diabetes, addressing the problems successfully could literally have a positive effective on the entire world.

By experts, it is considered that NCDs is the biggest draw on humanity at this time. It saps human and financial resources being no respecter of persons. Changing this situation is so important that medical professionals at the highest level report every method of change from diplomacy to research to education is needed.

Many questions need to be addressed. We’ve learned that individuals have both a genetic and an epigenetic response related to diabetes (as well as heart disease and cancer). The trend for more people to develop this problem seems to be increasing and we don’t completely understand why. At the same time, very little serious investigation into traditional treatments, such as Cordyceps, has yet to be completed. And many other ancient treatments are also waiting to be fully tested so we can understand their benefits and integrate that into modern treatments.

How long will you wait to take the actions needed to change your situation with Diabetes. Whether you’re at risk or already diagnosed altering your lifestyle and diet is essential to getting the change you want is the golden key. Without your commitment actions at the national or international level may help those who come after you but your choices make the difference for you.

A well-fertilized garden is the key to an abundant yield of fruit and vegetables from your yearly gardening efforts. If you plan to fill your chest freezer baskets with the bounty of your garden, the appropriate and timely use of quality fertilizers can make all the difference.

We have a small plot of land in our yard that we use for growing strawberries.  Due to the use of a combination of regular composting, and the occasional dash of Vigoro fertilizer, we usually – unless we suffer a devastating lack of rain or swarm of bugs – produce many more berries than we can possibly eat.

We could reduce the problems this poses by growing multiple strains of strawberries, and thus spreading the harvest over a longer period.  However, we are big fans of the breed that we grow, and have no qualms about using techniques to make the harvest last year round.

Some people will choose to create jams or preserves out of their surplus berries.  I tried this once, and while it was successful, I tend to not favor this method.  This is strictly a personal preference, due to me not being overly fond of jams with my toast.

My preference is to freezer the strawberries as is – without sugar.  This is best done by first freezing them on cooking sheets (individually), and then repackaging them into freezer bags for bulk storage.  Once this is done, they can then be placed in the baskets in our freezer – or our friends freezers if we are feeling generous – for easy consumption year around.

Of course, when you love berries as much as my family does, you want as many as possible.  That is why making use of a quality fertilizer optimized for the growth of berries, before and during the growing season, can be so beneficial!

Steps to be followed when growing capsicum:

1. Choose a location or site of the garden which receives at least six hours of sunlight during the day.
2. Soil preparation should be done by cultivating the land to discourage weed growth, make it easier for roots to penetrate and composite manure or fertilizer may be added depending on which is available and soil needs to enhance soil fertility. Capsicum love calcium therefore needs to treat the garden accordingly.
3. Capsicum is then planted and this can be done from the seedlings on the seed bed or from grown seedlings transplanted where correct spacing must be followed to allow for aeration.  Planting should be done on spring in order to avoid frost which may destroy the crops.
4. Water the plants regularly as this will determine the yield more especially with the sweet peppers. Also for hot pepper, the level of water will determine the hotness. Take into consideration pests control such as aphids by use of insecticides.
5. Use natural fertilizers. Chemical fertilizers reduces taste!

Capsicum offers fantastic health benefits. Its extract has been used as the main ingredient in Capsiplex, one of the popular weight loss supplement.

It isn’t every day that what you grow takes literally years to be ready to be consumed, after it is picked.  That is the case with wine though.  I’m a member of a wine of the month club here in my home town of San Francisco and we also grow a few grapes in order to make our own wine.  Unlike many fruits, grapes actually grow well in cooler conditions, otherwise we couldn’t even think of trying them here in the city.  My wine club likes to be hands on, so we have plenty of help when it comes time for harvest and to make our wine.  Overall, it is a really, really fun process.  In fact harvest weekend is one of the events we look forward to most each and every year around my garden.

There have been many kinds of health drinks in the market already, but none of them has been more intriguing than wheat grass. Through the different ways of containing the natural essence of this drink, there have been a lot of wheatgrass juice benefits known. So if ever you want to get a load of all its benefits, its best that you know all of them first.

You never know when one of your most feared ailments can actually be prevented through wheatgrass. And even if that is not the case, at least you get a load of one of the healthiest beverages that you can have in the world.

All about the Wheatgrass Benefits

For the most obvious reasons, there are a lot of benefits when you drink wheatgrass. For starters, you can enjoy having healthier skin as one of the wheatgrass juice benefits. And due to the existence of chlorophyll, wheatgrass is also great in promoting good blood flow in the body. Other benefits range to battling chronic fatigue to giving the body the much needed anti-oxidants.

Wheatgrass vs. Wheatgrass Juice

Some may argue that it is much better to eat wheatgrass on its own rather than juice it and then drink the excess. The truth is that drinking wheatgrass is just more convenient than eating it. When you juice it instead, you will get the benefits from the wheatgrass without having to divulge in eating a fibrous meal. For that purpose, it is highly recommended that you use a masticating juicer like an Omega VRT350HD which will enable you to juice your wheatgrass faster than never.

Wheatgrass: Investing for the Future

Since there are so many wheatgrass juice benefits, to a point that the whole mineral table may be fitted into that glass, you are bound to be in for a lot of health benefits in the end. So if you make it a habit, you have an answer to all of the bad things that you eat and drink on a daily basis!

Colorado State University, one of the state’s occupational therapy schools, provides its occupational therapy students with a unique method of learning about their future career choice: gardening.

In the spring of 2003, a grant provided the opportunity to build what is now known as The Occupational Therapy Garden, located south of the campus’ Occupational Therapy Building.  The therapy garden offers several different landscapes, from a sensory garden to raised garden beds, to accommodate different types of therapy techniques.  For example, the sensory garden contains plants that patients can enjoy through both touch and smell, and the raised garden beds are set at different heights to accommodate patients with movement restrictions.

Gardening was chosen as a way to introduce occupational therapy students to different treatment techniques because it can be used in many therapeutic settings.  In addition, gardening is a task that many people enjoy, so it can make what may feel like routine therapy into an enjoyable experience that touches on all of the senses.

The Occupational Therapy Garden at Colorado State University can be reached at 970-491-5016.

I just spent the last 2 days trying to import a bulk amount of fertilizers online. The internet is basically a jungle and I think I got lost! The good news is that I got a list of some fantastic providers of fertilizers at prices that seem almost too good to be true. But a quick check of various reviews and I can tell they are all legit. This got me thinking though, clearly there is a market for selling gardening products online so why shouldn’t I do the same? I spoke to an seo company recently about setting up an eCommerce store and whether or not it made sense for me to do it. What I found out what was pretty amazing.

Apparently there is a growing trend of buyers online and hence a growing trend of gardening companies selling their products online. So from a business point of view it makes sense, but from a marketing point of view, I would have to compete with all the other gardening companies across the world. This really got me thinking  (and exited!) about whether this would be a worthwhile endeavor or not.

At the end of the day, I can’t imagine this trend ever reversing, so I guess its only a matter of time before I take action. So many choices, so little time.

Are you one of those busy individuals who try to cope with the fast pace life that our modern technology has to offer? Well, if you just slow down a bit and try to focus on what you can do to exit yourself from this whirlwind lifestyle even for a moment and enjoy the beauty of your surroundings.

This is the perfect time to indulge yourself to some good form of recreational activity and one of this could truly benefit you in the end is “Gardening”. Aside from being an ideal way to relax and become productive, gardening is proven to give us these 4 healthy benefits:

1. Stress reliever

The entire ambiance of a garden offers every individual the chance to unwind, clear his/her mind off from worries of life and meditate for better thinking. The moment you are relaxed, it relieves already any form of stress in your body.

2. Good source of exercise

Any form of gardening activity requires physical movement. This is a form of exercise already and can eventually lead to weight loss. Gardening also gives you the freedom to be outdoor allowing you to get enough fresh air which improves the mind for decision making.

3. Nutritional value

If you are planning to grow your own vegetable garden, this will guarantee that fresh vegetables are always there for your convenience, free from any harmful chemicals and purely organic. You are assured that whatever harvest you get will give you nutritional value in the end.

4. Quick recovery from any sickness

Some clinical studies revealed that people who are exposed to nature specifically the gardens can recuperate fast from any form of sickness compared to those who are confined in their rooms. The environmental beauty of nature gives positive vibes to the sick person’s total well-being. A mere walk in the garden full of flowers will bring a positive effect to someone who had been ill for sometime.

Gardening as a whole gives a wonderful experience to anyone who makes this activity as his/her personal hobby. So, whatever stressful career you might have right now, either you are a teacher, doctor, financial analyst or an ultrasound technician, do find an outdoor activity that will help you become a better person and worker in your chosen profession.

Enjoy the real beauty of nature and one way to do that is through gardening. Now, start digging that backyard soil in your place and find the most suitable plants or flowers to grow.

Every year there are thousands of injuries as a result of accidents in the garden. One of the main causes of injury is caused by the numerous tools available, more than 400,000 people go through the emergency room every year. This number can be greatly reduced by following a few easy steps.

There are a number of things that can be done to improve safety whilst gardening and even though some may seem simple they should be always be followed carefully.

Some of the reasons accidents happen are due to people taking shortcuts, not recognizing risks and a lack of knowledge in general safety and use of garden equipment. As expected there are always a number of things that can be done to limit the risks of injury.

• Take a look around your garden and check for any potential hazards such as tools lying around
• Watch for any uneven paving slabs
• Tidy up unravelled hose pipes
• Clear slippy patches on paths caused by moss
• Put all electrical equipment away out of wet weather and keep them out of reach of children.
• Don’t try and do the gardening in icy weather conditions to prevent slips
• If you smoke try not to do this in the garden especially in particularly dry weather if you have dense areas of bush, fires can start easily from carelessly discarded cigarette ends. Consider using an e cigarette in when gardening, take a look at this E-Lites review for more information on this.
• If you have a pond and children be sure to have them in view of the house, consider a fence or dense plants to restrict access by children.
• Use the right tools, the right safety equipment (goggles, gloves) and be sure your posture is correct in both lifting and in the use of hand tools.

These are all quite obvious things to look out for but they are still responsible for a large number of garden accidents and should be in your mind at all time. Remember prevention is the key to safety in the garden!

There is little doubt that we have more people out of work today than ever before. State governments and the Federal government are having a hard time coming up with all the money people are trying to collect for their unemployment benefits.

Today, when you file for unemployment it is much different than it was before the Internet. Almost all the states now let you make your initial claims online and some of them even require it. That means you need a computer or need access to one in order to do what you used to be able to do in person.

The whole process has changed and become computerized. Remember George Costanza in the television Seinfeld? He tried to get his unemployment benefits and had to convince a lady that he was actually looking for a job. It was comical of course, but a lot of things have changed since that show was filmed.

Now it is all done over the Internet and you have to submit all that information online. In many cases, you never have to even talk face to face with any real person for the duration of your benefits. Perhaps that is one of the reasons why so many people are content to never really look for work and just take the free benefit money instead.

It is rapidly becoming the case that you need to have access to the Internet in some way just to be a part of society. People are being taken out of the equation whenever possible as everything moves online. Looking for a job is another thing that more and more people are doing exclusively online. No matter what type of job you have or lose, you need to be able to function online in some capacity in the world today.

Sleep apnea is a disease that is growing in its awareness. Presently there is somewhere around twenty million people in the USA alone that have yet to be diagnosed with this condition. Fortunately there is a selection of diverse treatment options for those diagnosed with sleep apnea.

When most people think sleep apnea treatment they think CPAP. This is a facemask put on at night that streams a continuous airflow into your airway, as a result stopping the snoring and allowing proper breathing. There is also the choice of opting for oral surgery, however this can be extremely painful and often times is unsuccessful. At last there is another answer that is rather accepted today and that is oral appliance therapy. Oral devices will support the tongue in such a way that the airway remains unhindered.

How to Propagate an Aloe

Aloes are a big hit in our nursery. They are popular with our customers and sell very well.

Did you know that it is very easy to propagate any aloe from side shoots or “pups”? These are small baby aloes growing around the stem of the mother plant. I happen to have an aloe with two pups that I will use to demonstrate the process. Take a look…

This is the mother plant with the two small pups big enough to be removed.

Here I’ve removed the bag and most of the soil to expose the aloe’s roots. Closer inspection reveals that there are actually three pups!

I removed the pups by tearing them off the mother plant. You could also use a sharp knife or a blade to cut them off. These pups are beautiful – the bigger two have already developed some roots. Some resources suggest that you leave the pups for a week or two to dry before you pot them up. I find that unnecessary and usually pot them straight away.

Potting up the pups! I use river sand mixed with some garden soil/potting soil. Roughly 3 to 4 parts sand to 1 part soil. Use a pencil or a similar object to make a hole in the soil. Gently insert the pup and firm the soil around it.

The end product! Three baby aloes!
