What have we not learned the hard, hot way? The so-called Foxtail Fern is the perfect example of a seemingly delicate cultivar that is tough enough to save.

Grow Local! Buy Local! Eat Local!
The banner on a national web site of national Well Fed Neighbor Alliance resonates with lots of consumers who have seen headlines about contaminated and even deadly fruit and vegetables, recalled beef, pork and chicken, or who just prefer the taste of food harvested fresh from a field or garden the same day you eat it instead of 1,500 miles away.

Greene Magazine on a local retail rack. We keep pretty good company.
With the September 2011 issue, GREENE Magazine achieves what many small businesses don’t. We survived our first year, published five times as planned, established a lively web site (you’re looking at it) and created a voice through “social networking” on Facebook (see below.)
Our fourth and now our fifth issue is for sale at more than 150 locations from Lake of the Ozarks to West Plains and the Kansas and Arkansas state lines. You can subscribe online. Our plans now include the addition of advertising online, as we help set a more vigorous forum in the Ozarks for sustainable living, gardening, living greener and cleaner.

The tornado that obliterated a third of Joplin wiped out thousands of trees, each one a living, breathing filter for the pollution we belch into the air each day. It is said that just one tree absorbs as much carbon dioxide in a year as a car produces during two years of average driving.
