 Product review As passionate gardeners, Dave and I are always watching for more efficient ways to manage seasonal succession crops without using a lot of space. We also wanted to grow salad mixes and fresh herbs all winter long; and now we can. No longer do we have that annual chore of finding a place to hang old, clunky fluorescent ballasts for our seed starts each spring. The Deluxe 3-Tier T5 High Intensity SunLite Garden , made by the Gardener’s Supply Company , is designed for starting seeds, growing herbs, houseplants and orchids. The Gardener’s Supply Company is based in Vermont (US) and specializes in grow lights and stands, seed starting supplies, season extenders and a wide array of gardening and kitchen supplies. Researching further I found that 8% of the company profits go towards supporting pollinator health and habitat. This 100% employee owned company has strict in-house and business guidelines to strive for a positive impact on the environment. Their happy e...

Remaking Our World: Coronavirus, Hope, and Future Society *Written by Cristina Deptula, from Authors Large and Small Coronavirus has radically shifted our lives and schedules. Now that we’re three months in to shelter in place in many metro areas, people are beginning to speculate on how society might reshape itself after we survive this pandemic. A few of the authors we represent, as literary publicists with Authors, Large and Small , have written pieces inspired by the psychological experience of quarantine. Some look to the big picture and speak out on ecology and economics, while others look inward, seeing this as a time to process and heal personal and communal grief, and to reconnect with neglected aspects of our lives. In this 4-part series, I give these writers space to share their thoughts. Christopher Bernard is a poet, novelist, librettist, and the editor of San Francisco’s literary magazine Caveat Lector. His latest work, Meditations on Love and Catastrophe at the Liars’ Ca...

Quote of the Day  © BrummetMedia.ca "And the dandelion does not stop growing, because it is told it is a 'weed'. The dandelion does not care what others see! It says ' One day, the'll be making wishes upon me'." ~ B. Atkinson ~~ Visit the Brummet's @:  http://BrummetMedia.ca ~~

Recommended Resources It is time for another batch of resources that we hope you have time to check out. These two resources are for the musicians and those who appreciate musicians, bands, entertainers in general: GigSalad offers a one-stop website to find and book everything from bands, musicians, and DJs to entertainers, speakers, and event services. Entertainers would be wise to consider listing their services, and those who are setting up an event of any kind can find professional performers for hire across the U.S. and Canada. Info:  https://www.gigsalad.com/   For something a little different to enjoy, here is a video of Micky Hart (formally of Grateful Dead) and a wide array of talented performers living it up on stage :) https://youtu.be/iJpRqVDFSjs ~~ Visit the Brummet's @:  http://BrummetMedia.ca ~~

Author Interview    https://www.timeoffbook.com Today we have the pleasure of learning from the writing experiences of  Max Frenzel, co-author of  Time Off . It is always interesting to hear about the behind the scenes activities, challenges, organizing and strategies that go behind producing a book, but today we learn how Max and his co-author  John Fitch balanced the work load and shared skills in a very effective way.

Initially I wasn’t exactly sure what to expect from writing a book together with a co-author, but in retrospect it was one of the best decisions I ever made. John and I really believe in the sa...
