Turn Your Patio, Porch, or Balcony Portable Farm by Growing Herbs Outdoors
Many of you reading this are already familiar with my work. If so, you know that I am a big advocate of growing herbs in containers. In fact, unless you have acres and acres of lands, grow herbs solely for their beauty (or you sell plants wholesale), and/or don't have access to pots, urns, coffee cans, planters, or the like, I don't see any good reason to grow herbs in a garden plot.

Top Tips for Potty Training Quickly
True Story: Recently I was babysitting for my two-and-a-half-year-old granddaughter, Sevilla. As promised, she was allowed to watch two short "Dora The Explorer" videos on her portable DVD player before story time and bed. So, after making her selection, I slipped the DVD into the player and you guessed it... I couldn't get the darn thing to work.

Potty Training Girls - Is it Much Different Than Potty Training Boys?
? I've been potty training girls - and boys - for the last three decades I can tell you with great confidence that there is very little significant difference between the two. In fact, the approach is exactly the same.
