Cheer Leading for Dr Laura


http://www.drlaura.com/

Dr Laura has been a wonderful radio talk show host, answering tough questions for people for many years. She is an inspiration on doing the right thing, especially when its tough. She has many great books that tell of conversations and stories of people working out their problems. Especially when the good of children are involved, unless dangerous or destructive parents are part of the equation. She roots for winners and warriors not weenies. Stay strong.

Don't plant fennel near...

Don't plant fennel near dill, carrot or coriander (cilantro), risk of cross pollination which would reduce seed count. Also the dill and fennel will start tasting like each other.
/ that being said I just moved some fennel to the front yard where there is also dill. so now I'm moving all the dill to the back yard, yay!
