The ADHD Mind: Rosemary for Focus I'll be very honest, it really bothers me that so many people who follow a religion, believe that using herbs for medicinal purposes is satanic, sorcery, witchery and so forth.

I mean let's be honest for one brief moment, can we all honestly say we can tell ourselves how beautiful we are, how put together we are, how we are Goddesses or Queens of our world? Or are we shooting ourselves down every chance we get, telling ourselves we are not worthy, maybe someday…
The Aphid Parasite and Natural Gardening The Aphid parasite is a 2-3 mm long wasp that can be deadly for aphids. The female wasp can sense the distress of an infected plant, making aphids an easy target. The parasitic wasp paralyzes its enemy and then hatches a single egg inside of the pest's body. When the egg reaches the larva stage, it forms a cocoon that mummifies the aphid's body. The body can take up to 10 days to complete the mummification process. While the larva…

The Bumblebee a Gardener's Bestfriend Bumblebees can be extremely beneficial for gardeners because of their pollinating skills. While they are not known for feeding on Aphids themselves, bumblebees have been seen feeding on the secretions of the pests instead of their usual nectar for energy. That energy in return allows the bees to successfully continue to produce pollen, a protein that is essential for larvae. So while the bumblebee may enjoy the occasional honeydew snack…
