Oh, the possibilities with that Wicked Witch! Son James dazzled me again with a combination planting featuring this year’s hot new coleus ColorBlaze Wicked with coleus and Canary Wing begonia.

I am not usually a timid, finicky eater; I do not shy away from spicy dishes and will devour menudo and raw oysters with gusto.
Last week we started talking about a Resource Recycling newsletter article concerning a report. The report was by the nation’s largest waste and recycling hauler, the Houston-based Waste Management (WM) company. Today we will continue with it. We’ll start with the recycling of PET plastic bottles (Number 1 on the recycling symbol of chasing arrows; think soft drink bottles).
