Katiebird's Garden & Wildcraft

I have just read a bunch of articles and blogs about the Alabama tornados and the hardship left behind, especially for those with diabetes.  No refrigerators or decent food and supplies were sucked up by the tornado and disappeared!  So, people need D-Stuff.  Insulin, meters, strips, needles, etc.  A great article/blog was posted by Victoria Cumbow, a journalist for  The Huntsville Times  and she has organized the drive through the Alabama JDRF.  Please read the story here .  I'll be sending a bunch of pen needles and some Lantus pens, as I really don't need them and others do! Please send your donations to: Huntsville JDRF 2225 Drake Ave. Office 17, Suite K Huntsville, Alabama 35805 ***Mark the box as "D-Supplies for Tornado Relief."  Attn: Victoria Cumbow and Karen Morris.

I am very excited to have a gigantic, healthy garden that's full of worms at our new house (trust me, it took a ton of work to dig out all the weeds and grass that had been left to flourish for the past couple years)  It being a new moon this week, calls for the planting of cabbage, lettuce and spinach!  I came upon this bit of gardening knowledge about the lunar cycles and you can read
