A holding cross, or a comfort cross, as it is sometimes called, is an asymmetric cross that is made to fit ergonomically into the palm of one's hand and is used during prayer. It is thought that the holding cross is based on an ancient design found in ancient European chapels. Although the origin of the holding/comfort cross tradition is not known, it is thought that it dates back to the early Christians. Holding crosses are made out of many different types of wood, but in my opinion, none is more appropriate than a cross made out of the olive wood prunings of trees that grow in the very region that Jesus was born - in the area around Bethlehem. Olive trees have scattered the landscape there since...

Or "Why is my pine tree dying? Monterey Pine problems in Santa Rosa. Monterey Pines planted in inland areas like Santa Rosa or Healdsburg are prone to stress from higher temperatures than their natural habitat. This stress leads to greater propensity for insect and disease problems. One of the most common killers of Monterey Pines in our area is Red Turpentine Beetles. Red Turpentine beetles normally attack trees at the lower trunk areas. The beetles bore beneath the bark and form galleries in the cambium layer of the wood.

, all gardeners need them, but which tools to buy? What tools will I really use? A good quality tool will get much more use and will last much longer, than a tool you bought just because it was on sale. The following is a list of Garden Tools all gardeners should have in their shed: Wheelbarrow- A tough, lightweight wheelbarrow is a must. A 5-6 cubic foot bin that is made of plastic (I know plastic, yuck) will last 100 times longer and be much lighter than a steel bin. This will enable you to move larger, heavier items with ease. Rakes - Rakes are essential for good gardening. A leaf rake 24" or 30" is standard. I like a metal rake, because it gets through wet, heavy leaves easily. A shrub rake is a...

Landscaping is an art, a profession, a practice, and for some, simply a hobby.

As a person who has toured for several decades, I've been reviewed within an inch of my life. And, it took most of that life to get good at it. We all know that every type of reviewer stalks this world. There's the "must trigger my specific likes and dislikes" type (a review that any farm animal could write), the former mineral science major who has read a lot (I tried that once - listened to Heifetz for six hours, and still couldn't play like that) the angry, rejected writer, the "wants you to feel good, then buy his $3,000 promotional package" reviewer, the "above your standards" institutional reviewer and many more.

The process used for growing plants indoors and using a greenhouse to grow organic plants indoors entails practically the same thing. Organic gardening is not just about excluding chemicals and other synthetic products from gardening products, but a holistic and healthy way for caring for and growing plants. It is about much more - it is about caring well for your plants using the natural way by providing organic food products to your plants and keeping chemicals away by using useful pests to get rid of dangerous ones. This is akin to a farmer placing a scarecrow on his farm to scare off birds that would otherwise damage the farm. It is a question of maximizing the uses of the resources available so...
