Irish moss conjures up images of soft, lush greenery, of plants carpeting the ground and swallowing up ruins of a craggy Irish castle. Seems like a plant you could even use to replace a patch of lawn? Well, not so fast. The problem is that a number of plants are called Irish moss. The only traits these plants share are being moss-like and green. They don't even necessarily grow in Ireland.
Researchers are surveying the coast this summer for a commercially valuable seaweed that is taking over the territory once filled by spiny sea urchins. Sea urchins disappeared from Maine shores after just a few years of a fevered, gold rush-like harvest. Now the seaweed that the urchins used to eat - Chondrus crispus, or Irish moss - is spreading fast in shallow waters along the coastal ledge, and some people are wondering if it could spawn a small industry of its own.
I wouldn't call myself a foodie. That term smacks of an effete, goblet-toting Kelsey Grammer type. Good-taste guys like him wouldn't be caught dead at a Lake Monsters game, let alone go for the sole purpose of eating the food there, like I do. Chicken bites don't pair that well with wine, and anything as vibrantly artificial as a bowl of Dippin' Dots ice cream sure doesn't qualify as "artisan dairy. For people who claim truly to care about the flavor of the food they eat, how it got to them should be a secondary concern at best. Vermont Smoke & Cure bacon is unquestionably the best I've ever had. That's not because it's from Vermont; it's because their bacon reminds me of eating braised short ribs in bacon form. Gerard's bread is the best around. I'm much happier to go to Underhill...

Living in a home with Caribbean parents, I was brought up on 'root foods' like beet root juice, carrot juice, Irish moss, green banana, porridge of every kind and strong back root. I must admit, as much as I put up a fight to eat these kinds of foods, these same foods helped me to survive in fighting for my life. Even today, I still eat these same foods and I'm still giving sickle cell anemia a fight for its life. For all of the mental and physical abuse that I received in the hands of medical providers; who failed to edify and really understand a person, like me, with sickle cell anemia. And for all the times that I almost lost my mind, while coping with life, stress, and pain that surpasses my understanding; and was referred to see a psychologist because I felt like I was going crazy....
Q: I love hummingbirds. Which flowers will draw them to my yard? A: Rufous, calliope and black-chinned hummingbirds are the ones most often seen in this area. These high-speed acrobats visit here from July through September, and occasionally as late as October.

Fairy gardens - hidden beneath stout trees at botanical gardens, or proudly displayed on tabletops at garden centers and in homes - are captivating the imaginations of children and adults, providing an escape into a tiny world. Young kids get caught up in the magic, industriously building homes for the fairies they believe are real. Older children enjoy working on the tiny scale: 2-inch plants and diminutive garden furniture.

Q: I would like to make a path with stepping stones in my backyard. What kind of groundcover could I grow between the stones that could handle a little foot traffic? A: Creeping groundcovers add a finished look by softening the edges of stones used for pathways and in rock gardens. Filling in between the steps with appropriate plants also prevents weeds from taking over.

Tom Petty, you were right; the waiting really is the hardest part. After hours of standing in front of a hot stove, my first batch of beer - a Broadway Brown Ale from Central Street Farmhouse - is locked into a bucket and out of my hands. Now, all I can do is keep it around room temperature and hope for a drinkable result.
...A sprinkle of Irish moss was added at this time as well to help "clear...
