Good Reading for a Long Weekend

I’m actually in Houston for the weekend, visiting with my brother. I live in California and he lives in Philadelphia and a few times a year we meet for the weekend somewhere in the middle. Anyway, these are some blog posts I really enjoyed reading last week…

• The New Buzz About Honey Bees and Garden Help: Click on over and find out which pest honey bees trick into leaving your garden. Then update your 2009 garden plan to include flowers that attract bees!
• The Buzz on Bees: If using bees to scare off pests wasn’t enough bee info for you, Mr. Brown Thumb has collected a bunch of interesting bee websites for you to visit.
• Google for Gardeners: Mr. Brown Thumb has been busy. In addition to the bee site roundup, he’s been busy adding great gardening websites to a special search engine just for those of us who like to dig in the dirt.
• Researchers Develop a Device for Plants to Send Text Messages: A little absent minded with the watering? Some day your plant might be able to text message you to demand a drink.
• A Magic Bean Review: They Aren’t Just for Fairytales Anymore: Another plant that communicates. Although this one doesn’t text you. Check out Amy’s review of a plant that can help you tell your spouse/partner how much you love them.
• Creating a Bathroom Garden: Not everyone has a balcony or patio or even enough room in their living room for a few plants. But everyone has a bathroom. Stuart reports on new gardening possibilities in your water closet.
