POPSHappy Earth Day Nader/Gonzalez!
There's no denying the Laws of Nature - the only way to get the harvest you want is to plant the right seeds. It's springtime in my hometown of Akron, Ohio. The robins, finches, bluejays and cardinals are busy building nests. The buds are opening so quickly on the dogwood tree outside my window that it is almost detectable to the naked eye. The redheaded woodpecker high atop the tree laughs his Woody laugh and I spot him quickly. The tiny fresh blades of grass gingerly poke their heads up through the dirt like the delicate babies that they are, preparing for their future of being wriggle material for children's toes. Spring has sprung! We have had a long, snowy winter, but now it is time for me to get to work. I'm a web developer/mom by day, and amateur gardener by night. Gardening isn't easy for me, and I've spent quite a few years watching the masters before I gave it a try. When I was a child, my grandparents grew enough good fresh food to feed their family as well as the exte

POPSRare US Ivory-billed Woodpecker The spectacular red, white and black ivory-billed woodpecker was long thought to be extinct, but was reported to have been filmed alive in 2004. More than 100 volunteers and experts spent the winter scouring the woods of eastern Arkansas for the bird. But they have failed to find further evidence of the bird's existence. The stunning red, white and black woodpecker was formerly distributed across the south-eastern US and Cuba. The bird carves out a narrow niche for itself by drilling in mature trees. Logging and forest clearance for agriculture began to impinge on its environment. By the 1920s, it was assumed to be extinct, although, in 1944, there was one more confirmed sighting in North America of a lonely unpaired female, above the remnants of an over-cut forest.
