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 latest news about bedbugs taking over new york City has made some of the residents and tourists kind of anxious about bringing some of these critters back home.
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.

Historic Buildings and staircases in the Bronx NYC
I took some photos of some great historical architecture that you just can't find or replicate these days, in neighborhoods that are not in Manhattan. The Bronx's architectural secrets;
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.

White castle Historical marker and Building with Giant Rock Foundation in Bronx
I live in Ocala but have roots in NYC, NY. I visit the city every year. My sister lives in the Bronx and there has been amazing reconstruction of this borough including unique building features not seen in Manhattan. These photos of the Bronx include new and old interesting sites.
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.
