I live in So Cal. I’m interested in gardening-in-place, which means to me, location-directed gardening. My garden is full of native plants & a front yard veggie garden. I run a community stewardship program in a local nature park, started in 2006.

I really like the clarity of this message and that he didn't mention the writ of habeas corpus. Just plain language about why this is really bad and dangerous

South Pasadena Nature Park was once all weeds, now - after 19 years of care- it is coastal sage scrub. Love how alive it is.

new resignation from SDNY Hagan Scotten -- he's a John Roberts clerk -- Roberts can't be happy at that -- and a 2 times bronze medal winner for duty in Iraq.
This is the best of DOJ v the worst of the political system. The lines so clearly drawn
