Plantain (a forgotten plant) | I did not know that this common weed was actually an important and useful herb -- and I bet I pull a hundred of them out of my yard every year! Plantain herb, a forgotten plant, has so many uses and benefits as a natural remedy! | TraditionalCookingSchool.com

Spotlight on Herbs: Bay Leaf | The humble bay leaf -- cultivated since the beginning of recorded history, used as a symbol of honor in Ancient Greek and Roman culture, and one of the most widely used culinary herbs in both Europe and North America. Living in a cold northern climate where bay laurel trees must be grown indoors, it took me two years to find one to add to my indoor garden, and (thankfully) it was one of the few plants that survived our recent move and continues to thrive with nothing but a sunny window for light! | GNOWFGLINS.com

Raising A LGD -- The First Year | January 5th marked one year since Mindy, our Great Pyrenees/Karakachan dog, came to live with us at Hickory Cove Farm. I thought and prayed about getting a livestock guardian dog for quite a while. I thought that I would sit back and observe, read others' tips and stories, ask a few questions, and keep an eye out for an available puppy with the right and location. Then one day, Mindy's picture showed up in the group, and I melted. | GNOWFGLINS.com

Grow Your Own Transplants | If you're serious about gardening, the growing season never really comes to an end. Something always needs to be done even, in the dead of winter. On our homestead, once the holidays are over, it is time to turn our attention to the upcoming spring planting season, which actually starts several weeks in advance of spring. The first item on my agenda is to start my own transplants. Here are my best tips. | GNOWFGLINS.com

Gardening in Small Spaces | I live in suburbia, right smack-dab in the heart of the big city suburbs. I'm a wanna-be homesteader, dreaming and planning to buy a few acres one day soon. Yet, I am gardening in my postage stamp yard, and last year harvested over $500 worth of food from my little garden beds. If you are a wanna-be homesteader, too, now is the time to "dig in" and learn how to garden -- even in small spaces! | GNOWFGLINS.com

Alternative "Grocery" Shopping | Many of us love the idea of homesteading... but are unable to do it yet. I'm here to tell you, just because you do not grow and raise most of your own food right now does not limit you to the grocery store as your only source of food. Ironically, although there are grocery stores galore, the conventional grocery store is often the hardest (and most expensive) place to find well-raised or well-grown, quality natural foods. Fortunately, there are numerous alternatives! | GNOWFGLINS.com
