Fresh Veggies from My Flower Bed Garden
This produce which I got from my garden, if I can do it anyone can do it.
These are from my garden a few weeks ago; my green peppers and okra.
I use the seeds of the peppers once I cook the peppers and replant it in the ground. I buy organic compost once a month, in addition to buying the yellow bag cow manure compost sold at Walmart. I mix these once a month in the soil and add it with plant food. I mix it together and replant the seeds; and I have endless peppers growing through out the Spring/ Summer season. Purchase seeds from Burpee or from your local produce purchased at local Ocala, Fl. supermarkets after cooking vegetable.
Cheap method of creating a mattress whole bed cover
The way to keep bedbugs out of your mattress is to keep the bugs from entering the mattress in the first place. Purchasing a whole bed mattress cover is the best method to keep them out , but these whole bed covers range in the prices of 100.00 to as much as 279.00 according to the sizes of the mattress. Instead of purchasing a whole mattress cover, that is so expensive; purchase two inexpensive mattress covers according to the size of the mattress. Place one mattress cover on one side of the mattress then turn over the mattress and place the other cover on the other side. If you want to make it a permanent cover for the mattress simply attach the covers together either by sewing or using bonding adhesive tapes used for fabrics. If you plan to cover an outdoor daybed use a weather proof material or even vinyl covers to protect the mattress from the elements. Next time, you are in New York, you don't have to be afraid of bringing back bedbugs, just have to worry about the flies instead.

Orlando visitors could take advantage of low hotel rates in local area hotels along the busy shopping and restaurant district. If you don't mind the drive which is very nice and scenic, you can visit two towns instead of only one.

Historic Buildings and staircases in the Bronx NYC
In the Bronx and in upper Manhattan there are these grand giant staircases that connect hilly and steep streets, this staircase is located at 169th st Webster Avenue and connects to teller Avenue that leads towards the grand Concourse. It is such a shame that these beautiful structures are littered with garbage, and are falling in some disrepair. Some of these staircases are connected to the buildings next to them with entrances off the staircases, but now have been sealed with brick.

Near Empire State Building 5th Avenue
If you visit the NYC area there are many free things to do in the city. Visit the nyc.gov homepage and click on Free things to do in the city. Many of the museums here are free but they do ask for recommended donations since it is funded publicly. The museums along 5th Avenue known as museum mile; do charge admission. Last June, there was a free fair allowing visitors to visit the museum for free for about 4 hours.
This is outside the Empire State building this building is a full two blocks wide between 33rd and 34th st, but actually one full New York long block as people often discover when walking around the city.

White castle Historical marker and Building with Giant Rock Foundation in Bronx
This is a new building in the Bronx that uses the bedrock as part of the foundation of the structure.
How cool is that!.
This marker is outside a White Castle's restaurant on West Farms Square, this is the site of a historical battle site in the Bronx. It is outside the restaurant parking lot. I think it's cool to eat at an actual historical revolutionary battle site. I wonder if anyone stops to read the stone.
