Born and raised in Northeast Ohio, I will always hold a special spot in my heart for the Cleveland area. So when I happened upon this article about plans to farm inside the Galleria Mall, I was extremely intrigued and somewhat proud! You go, Cleveland! Way to be innovative! With the current state of our economy, [...] One of the most intriguing things I’ve found on the Internet lately has definitely been The WindowFarms Project. The project was started by New York artists, Britta Riley and Rebecca Bray, through a residency at Eyebeam Art and Technology Center. It was sponsored by Riley and Bray’s interactive design firm, Submersible Design. The women originally set-out [...] When I was in college, my mother gave me what I thought was a very odd Christmas present one year–a pot of dirt covered with a towel.

Everyone knows at least one or two dishes that just aren’t the same without that little (or big!) dash of oregano, right? What everyone doesn’t know, is that oregano is one of the easiest herbs to grow, both indoors and outside. A native of the Mediterranean region, this herb is [...] Cilantro, or coriander, is a popular herb used in cooking. The fresh leaves have been used for hundreds of years to add a slight citrus hint to your recipes. It is very closely related to parsley, and is actually called “Chinese parsley.” The herb is used in many Asian foods, and often in Mexican dishes, [...] Basil is a very commonly used herb in cooking. As such, it’s a great herb to grow indoors! Basil is very sensitive to colder weather and requires a good amount of sun. Honestly, the majority of us live in climates that are only warm enough for outdoor basil 3-4 months a year, making indoor growing [...] |
