Growing Great Tomatoes
For many people, growing big juicy tomatoes is part of what makes vegetable gardening so enjoyable. Whether purchasing plants from your local nursery or starting tomatoes from seed, there are a few basic steps to follow to ensure that you harvest an abundant crop at the end of the growing season. There are many different varieties of tomatoes to choose from, depending on whether you will be cooking, canning, slicing, or eating miniature or grape-like varieties right off the vine. Sweet 100's are very abundant, and are good for salads as well as eating fresh from the garden. Roma tomatoes are good for making salsa, because the peels are not as tough as others so you don't need to peel the skins off.
Romas are also known as the classic paste and sauce tomato. There are Early Girls, Early Boys, Big Boys, Big Mamas, Sweet Baby Girls, Beefsteaks, French Rose hybrids, Big Rainbow, specialty tomatoes and many more. So start by choosing the kind of tomato you would like to grow. Planting...

Gardening - Using Annuals in Your Perennial Garden
Annuals in your perennial garden are something to think about! Annuals give you season long color, easy propogation, they're cost efficient, and provide first season interest.If you're just starting a perennial garden annuals are a great choice to fill in gaps. I remember my first garden. I bought a couple of plants thinking "This is gonna be great!" A few weeks later I realised this wasn't true. I needed a whole lot more plants and they cost a bunch! I opted for some annual seeds and I had a really pretty garden by the seasons end. Annuals can certainly help to fill in a garden while you wait for perennials to mature.Even an established perennial garden may have spots where little is blooming at one time or another.
Annuals are a great way to fill those gaps and keep color in your garden. They bloom from summer to fall and with a bit of dead heading you can continue to coax them back.Annuals are simple to start from seed which makes them very cost efficient. You can certainly...

Beads ? A Brief History
What do you think the earliest recorded use of beads is ? is your first thought perhaps beadwork created by the Egyptians?
Yes, there certainly were a lot of beaded items in Egyptian times, but beadwork has been found dating back to the Stone Age (the Upper Paleolithic period).
Beads were added to rudimentary clothing; these beads were made of shells and ivory.
Of course, the beads weren't as finely crafted as later beads, but still, they were beads.
So even in caveman times, men and women were interested in improving their clothing and appearance with the use of beads.The beads that we tend to think of as traditional beadwork are called seed beads ? because of their small size they resemble seeds.
These beads were used in early beadwork ? the work of the Egyptians.The Egyptians used a type of bead called faience beads.
Our seed beads today are made of glass, but Egyptians were using beads long before the invention of glass.
