The History Of Gardening
Have a look at this very interesting video that shows us the history of gardening in The White House... Back then President actually had to fend for themselves! Just think how much different The White House would be if that rule hadn't changed...

How To Reproduce Lucky Bamboo
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8iaQO0IJxrTKFSyQRgrVmMLSTNLpghFNT3uSDJhpv6T1na0m1-8sal5vVhlAnkZgEa-nlAWDpEiIivhD8a-d_6NBdseXeBiPwgceloVXcPENXtpbw8QGKrwt6lVNthEBTSmHJ7g/s400/Bamboo+Shoot+In+Water.jpg)
First cut a "shoot" from one of your bamboo plants with a sharp razor blade. Make sure to try and make a clean cut to ensure that the plant does not become infected. Take this shoot and soak it in water until a root emerges like the one pictured above. This should take several weeks.

Massive Corn Picked From My Backyard
![](http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/8061/2809/400/Corn.jpg)
This ear of corn was picked a little premature as you can see by the end, but it still is a monster. Almost a foot long! It was grown in Michigan just outside the city of Detroit. I did not use any pesticides or fertilizer. I did water it almost every day. This is the first of many, as I planted 3 rows of 7. What do all you farmers think? Is this the largest ear of corn you have ever seen or what?

The Quick Growing Cana Lily

The Cana Lily bulbs should be dug up in the winter time, and kept inside over the winter in harsh climate areas. You can simple clip the dead shoots off to just leave the bulbs like you see below. I suggest keeping them in a black plastic garbage bag. Make sure they are fairly dry before you store them. Don't water them at all over the winter they will spring back to life after exposed to the sunlight.

Filtering The Air With The Devil's Ivy
The Devil's Ivy or Golden Pothos is an extremely easy plant to take care of. This plant can handle lower lights, and is super easy to reproduce through cuttings like the ones shown in the pictures below.
This plant has been proven by NASA to filter the air of many nasty chemicals including formaldehyde, benzene, and carbon monoxide. The scientific name for this "clean air" plant is Epipremnum Aureum.![](//photos1.blogger.com/blogger/8061/2809/320/Golden%20Photos%20no%20side.jpg)
Please note: this plant is toxic if ingested so don't let children and pets eat this plant. The devil's ivy works great on top of a fridge or simply as a hanging plant in any window.
Anyone else out there have the Devil's Ivy? I know it is a very popular houseplant, so I am sure many of you have at least seen them around. If you haven't and you are interested in buying the Devil's Ivy you can do so here.
