Put Your Green Thumb to Work

Don't you wish your garden could look this amazing? With the weather becoming warmer outside, it seems  that every one is investing their time in making they yards look amazing. Just this past weekend, home improvement stores, like Home Depot, were packed! The problem is this; not everyone has the greenest of green thumbs. That being said, here are a few tips to help you achieve your gardening goals.

1. Follow the instructions If you are beginning your garden using seeds, make sure you read the details included. Many of the seed packaging include information as to how far and deep to plant the seed and how much sunlight is needed.
2. Don't toss the soup Whenever you boil or steam your veggies, do not toss out the water. Instead let it cool and use it to water your potted plants; they absolutely love it.
3. Watering and fertilizer do not fix everything If you are going to be un-potting a plant, make sure you take your time re planting the plant; water and fertilizer doesn't always make everything better.
4. Be patient and have fun! In all honesty, it takes time! You have got to be patient and trust that you have done everything you could to make your garden amazing.

Why don't we welcome June back?

It's June! Do you know what that means? It means summer fun like going to the beach, having bon fires or going to Six Flaggs. It means spending time with our family and friends and having an amazing time, but did you know that in the southern hemisphere, June is the first month of winter? or that June's flower is the rose and its stones are the pearl, alexandrite and moonstone? And don't forget, June is the month when we officially welcome Summer; June 21st to be exact.

We also set out to have tons of fun in June, but always forget of the important events that took place in June. Like the fact that June originally had 29 days until Julius Ceaser gave June 30 days when he reformed the Roman Calendar? How about the time the Magna Carta was granted by King John? Or the time Kentucky and Tennesse became part of the United States? Or even that one time that the United States declared war on Great Britain? Oh! and that time George Washington was appointed  commander in chief of the Continental Army? 

And last but not least, June is the month that we get to celebrate all of the amazing men in our lives; from fathers to uncles to godfathers. although we tell them how much we appreciate them every day, June provides us with the opportunity to say "Happy Father's Day."

So Welcome June! We're happy to have you back.

Social Networking in the 1600s

There was an article in The New York Times last week about Social Networking in the 1600s. The article addresses the concern that some people have about today’s social media networking sites, such as Facebook and Twitter. According to the article, websites like Facebook and Twitter will cost our economy about $650 billion every year.

 

Not only are they costly to keep running, but they, the social media websites, seem to have an effect on our attention spans and tests scores negatively. This is not the first time that social networking has gained a bad reputation.

 

Back in the 1600s, the idea of coffeehouses was imported from Arab. Coffeehouses were a place where people would go to discuss an array of thing including pamphlets, news-sheets, and catch up on gossip.

 

 At the time, an Oxford academic, Anthony Wood blamed the decline in the drive to learn on the coffeehouses, but many great things occurred because of the coffeehouses as well. Isaac Newton had an argument with fellow scientist that prompted him to write the “Principia Mathematica.” Also, everyone, no matter who you were status wise, was able to have conversations with each other.

 

The coffeehouses were something like an "in person Facebook". It is simply something that has changed over time like hand written letters have changed into emails, and how I am writing this blog instead of standing up on a soap box. On the contrary to the beginning of the article, today’s or the old age’s social networking has not put a damper on our learning, it has more to do with the drive of a particular person.

 

What is truly amazing is how things may evolve, but they do not become extinct. Who knew that Facebook existed in a different form hundreds of years ago? Cool, right?

 

This is definitely history repeating itself.
