We have some of the most interesting people for clients! This is one of them - we painted the exterior of the container units as well as the exterior of the back of the house. It is a very peaceful and serene setting that he has created!

This actully happens more often than you might think. Have you had you deck inspected? Have you had degraded boards replaced? It takes just a service call and - most often - very little cost to repair any issues. This IS a worst case moment - but take a moment to look for mold, insect damage, poor support or just natural degradation.

Video on Today: Dozens of people were sent plunging to the ground after a deck collapsed in Indiana while the family was taking a group shot, an incident captured on video. They are suing the people who made and maintained the deck.

Jeff's Home Service donated hundreds of plants (tomato, peppers, beans) to The Jeremaiah Baptist Church food pantry. According to the Reverend Goodwin these will go to people who know how to grow and harvest.... hopefully this will mean much more fresh produce for those who have no access to markets.
This weekend he is giving them the scarlet runner bean plants. These are very productive and a good source of protien as well! Please remember your local food banks when you are putting away your groceries: rotate your stock and eliminate those items in the back of your pantry - give them to your local church, temple, mosque or food bank.

Our next contest will be for some plantings - Jeff has some unique (and some tasty!) offerings. This is Amaranthus Cruentus, an ancient grain with bright green folage contrasted by fuscia flower heads. Grows to 6' tall - leaves are great salad green or can be cooked like spinach. The seeds contain amino acids & nutrients and can be eaten raw, sprouted, toasted or ground into flour. Pretty in your garden bed and even BETTER on your table!

We may or may not get another big snow storm this winter.... Here's something to consider: instead of using salt or other chemicals try spreading some bird seed. It will not melt the snow & ice. However, it will provide traction, feed the birds and not harm your plants and grass. Also, dark seeds in sunshine will help melt the snow & ice!

Lots of people wanted to know what the entire seafood appetizer looked like .... so, here it is! Edible landscaping used throughout was: cilantro, fennel, sage, tomatoes, leeks, cabbage leaves & kohlrabi. Remember, if you plan in advance, you too can still harvest goodies late in the season! Spread the word: you can't be more of a 'locavore' than your own front door, right?
