Wheat Germ ... What is it ... Annessa will tell you.



Wikipedia ....

Wheat germ or wheatgerm is a concentrated source of several essential nutrients including Vitamin E, folate (folic acid), phosphorus, thiamin, zinc, and magnesium, as well asessential fatty acids and fatty alcohols.[8][9] It is a good source of fiber.[10] White bread is made using flour that has had the germ and bran removed.[11] Wheat germ can be added to proteinshakes, casseroles, muffins, pancakes, cereals, yogurt, smoothies, cookies, and other goods.[12] Wheat germ can become rancid if not properly stored in a refrigerator or freezer,[13] and away from sunlight.[14] Some manufacturers prevent rancidity by storing wheat germ in vacuum sealed glass containers.

Pumpkins ...... growing fun.


Have you got your pumpkins planted for Halloween?


The word pumpkin originates from the word pepon (πέπων), which is Greek for “large melon", something round and large.The French adapted this word to pompon, which the British changed to pumpion and later American colonists changed that to the word that is used today, "pumpkin".

Pumpkins are grown all around the world for a variety of reasons ranging from agricultural purposes (such as animal feed) to commercial and ornamental sales.

 Of the seven continents, only Antarctica is unable to produce pumpkins; the biggest international producers of pumpkins include the United States, Canada, Mexico, India, and China.

The traditional American pumpkin used for jack-o-lanterns is the Connecticut Field variety.

Rick's Picks Plants has pumpkins plants on board "The Big Plant Van".

I have started to dig up my California drought front lawn.... This is going to hurt!


My name is Richard and I will be guest blogging for Ricks Picks Plants describing my landscaping project for my parents house in Montebello California.

The California drought has led the State of California to greatly restrict water consumption.

So I turned the sprinklers off.

I will be re-landscaping with California / drought tolerant plants.
