With spring here, and the surge of popularity in growing our own food - even in small spaces, this issue is dedicated to Incredible Edibles featuring expert advice on growing fruit trees, herbs, edible and native shrubs, and vegetables! We're always on the prowl for time-effective ways to do things, so check out the great products we found that made it really simple for us to put together our garden in one afternoon! We have a new giveaway for the book 'Preparing A Vegetable Garden From The Ground Up' by Stephanie Smith.     

 

We also shed the spotlight on historic Margaret Place, where eclectic homes and buildings tell the story of the1920s in Lake Charles, Louisiana -- with the creative help from the architects Favrot and Livaudais who copied building styles from other eras. For Californians, we have the news on Porterville's 14th Annual Iris Festival, and spring gardening tips for Southern California. Plus, we have a colorful online jigsaw puzzle of Bromeliads to enjoy!
