    Compatible Garden Vegetables

    Compatible Garden Vegetables

    Planting compatible vegetables is a gardener's secret to a successful harvest.

    Grow your own vegetables to add healthful and fresh produce to your menu and take advantage of compatible plants that increase each other's yield. Tall corn shades lettuce or spinach and fast-growing lettuce leaves room for slower-growing tomatoes later in the season. Compatible plants repel pests and attract beneficial ones, use your space more efficiently and reduce your workload. Does this Spark an idea?

    Compatible

      Asparagus produces bumper crops when planted close to basil, tomatoes and parsley. Onions and garlic grow well with beets, carrots, lettuce and parsley, while potatoes like beans, corn, eggplant and cabbage. Carrots, turnips, cabbage, corn and beans go well with peas while tomatoes like celery, asparagus, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, chives, parsley and carrots.

      Grow lettuce with strawberries, radish, onions, carrots and cucumbers for best results. Beans, peas, radish and corn grow well with cucumbers. Celery, potatoes, corn and cucumber benefit bush beans while celery is compatible with onion, beans, tomatoes and the cabbage family.

    Antagonists

      Group compatible plants for their benefits but beware that some plants can cause damage. Brassicas (cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage, kale and kohlrabi) are visibly dwarfed when grown with tomatoes, strawberries or pole beans. Tomatoes don't like corn, cabbage, potatoes or fennel. Onions, chives and garlic shouldn't be grown near peas or bush beans and keep potatoes away from cucumbers, pumpkins, squash and tomatoes.

    Pest Defense

      Companion plants don't just benefit each other's growth, they repel pests to keep each other healthy. Chives repel aphids and spider mites. Mix eggplants, snap beans, basil and horseradish among your potatoes to repel the Colorado potato beetle. Tomatoes and peppers also repel the potato bug.

      Tomato plants keep the asparagus beetle from feasting on asparagus while asparagus plants kill the nematodes that feed on tomatoes. Plant tomatoes, onions, garlic and sage around cabbage to deter the devastation from cabbage worms in cool climate zones north of Pennsylvania. Draw potato bugs away from your spuds by attracting them to eggplants.

    Flower Power

      Brightly-colored marigolds are a natural pest repellent.
      Brightly-colored marigolds are a natural pest repellent.

      Flowers add color to your garden, help your vegetables grow and keep plants healthy by repelling pests in a process called Edible Landscaping.

      Put marigolds near tomatoes to repel aphids, which would otherwise suck the life out of the tomato fruits. Marigolds, along with radishes and nasturtiums, keep squash bugs away from vine vegetables like pumpkins, cucumbers and squash. Larkspur poisons Japanese beetles that prey on corn, asparagus and rhubarb. These beetles also avoid the odor of geraniums. Put peppermint in pots around your garden to reduce aphids and repel ants, cabbage moths and spider mites. Peppermint is an invasive herb, so contain it in pots while enjoying its refreshing flavor. Nasturtiums attract aphids and flea beetles. Plant a bunch to draw these away from your tomatoes.

      How to Increase Your Energy Level

      How to Increase Your Energy Level

      Do you want to have more energy? Does a lack of it prevent you from accomplishing what you want or need to do? An increased level of energy can definitely contribute to a better quality of life. To increase energy levels, it is vital that you exercise regularly and consume the right diet.

      Instructions

        1

        Consult with a doctor to make sure your low level of energy is not a condition that may require medical help.

        2

        Commit to changing bad habits such as eating junk foods or smoking.

        3

        Devise a program that includes regular exercise and a healthy diet. Or, you may want to get a personal trainer.

        4

        Make a personal promise to commit to your plan.

        5

        Exercise for at least 30 minutes a day. Walking, stretching and running are some good forms of exercise. It does not have to be strenuous, but you should strive for cardiovascular activities which contribute to better blood flow and oxygen intake to the heart.

        6

        Let your body decide how much exercise you can do. Consult a doctor if you have health conditions which may prevent you from certain types of exercise.

        7

        Eat three meals a day. In addition, you should have healthy snacks throughout the day to provide the fuel you need for increased energy.

        8

        Eat a good breakfast, as it is the most important meal of the day. Be sure to have a healthy balance of carbohydrates, protein and a small amount of fat. Your body requires a good boost in the morning hours.

        9

        Eat at regular intervals. Skipping a meal will cause blood sugar levels to drop which can lead to fatigue.

        10

        Consume healthy snacks in between meals. These can take the form of fruits, vegetables, light cheese and yogurt, instead of potato chips, candy bars, ice cream or cookies.

        11

        Avoid eating large meals during lunch.

        12

        Avoid fatty and deep fried foods.

        13

        Drink plenty of water

        14

        Get enough sleep. Remember the old adage, "Early to bed and early to rise, makes a person healthy, wealthy and wise."

      Beach Party Games for Adults

      Beach Party Games for Adults

      When the summer heat rolls in, you want to cool down and take some time to relax. You want to truly enjoy yourself, invite some friends to head to the beach or even your backyard for a beach-themed party. Aside from the food, conversation and ambiance, make sure you have plenty of adult party games to keep your guests entertained.

      Musical Beach Towels

        Give your adult party guests a chance to dance around like children by playing this game. Begin by placing a line of towels on the sand, enough so you have enough for every player minus one. Have the players surround the beach towels and turn on some surfer music. The partiers then dance around the beach towels, one in front of the other. At a random moment, turn the music off. The players all have to hop on to one of the beach towels to stay in the game. Any player left out gets eliminated. After every round, take away a beach towel. Continue for several rounds until only one player remains, winning the game.

      Surfing the Waves

        This game involves a beach version of the mechanical bull. Assemble your group on the sand, in the pool or even in the ocean. Pick one player to stand on top of a surfboard. Have the rest of the players place their hands beneath it. When you say "Go," the players begin to shake the board in order to topple the person standing on it into the ocean, soft sand or pool. Time every player that attempts this. After everyone has gone, award the player who had the best time. For more of a challenge, have stronger adult players hold the surfboard up and shake it while standing.

      Beach Ball Relay

        Begin this game by setting up a starting point and a finish line around the party area. Divide the players into two teams and have both teams stand a few feet apart behind the starting point. Hand the first players of both teams a beach ball and have them place the ball between their legs. When you say "Go," the first players race to the finish line at the opposite side of the play area, and then race back to their teams. If a player drops the beach ball, he has to start over from the beginning. The game ends when one teamthe winning teamfinishes the race before its opponents.

      How to Pack for a Camping Trip

      The wilderness can be unforgiving, even with the proper gear. The last
      thing you want is to reach a remote destination and find that you
      forgot something essential. Develop a plan to guarantee that you're
      well equipped.

      Instructions

        1

        Establish a staging area. Use a corner of your garage or living room and pile gear there prior to packing. If you have the space, begin moving gear to the staging area several days ahead of time. This prevents overloading your brain at the last minute.

        2

        Take a good look at your gear pile when you think it's complete. Spend a minute reviewing your checklist and check everything on it.

        3

        Pack your clothing. You want to layer your clothing to meet changing temperatures and conditions. Pack spare clothing in case you get wet. Avoid cotton unless your trip is in a very warm climate--cotton dries slowly and offers no insulation when wet. Synthetic long underwear and jackets are best. Include a warm wool or fleece hat.

        4

        Test your gear before you go. Know how to operate your camp stove, and bring the proper fuel.

        5

        Purchase several small and medium nylon bags (stuff sacks) to divide your gear. Cooking gear can go in one bag, first aid items in another bag, and so on.

        6

        Plan your water supply. If water is scarce, consider having a large water bladder in your pack, such as those made by Camelback. In addition to offering a high capacity, water bladders have a hose that allows you to drink while you're on the move. Water purification tablets are indispensable.

        7

        Buy a good sleeping pad or two. Many people like to stack a fulllength sleeping pad on top of a shorter one. The extra warmth and comfort makes the weight and bulk worthwhile. Camping stores have several brands of pads, from $20 to $100.

        8

        Plan your meals ahead, so you'll be guaranteed to have enough food. For short camping stints, your grocery list might include milk, butter, cheese and crackers, bread, buns, vegetables, fruit, dried and/or fresh, meat (burgers, hot dogs, shish kabobs), canned foods (chili and soup), condiments and spices, trail mix, energy bars, cookies, s'mores fixings, soda, juice, tea, cocoa, cider, coffee and alcoholic beverages.

        9

        Weigh luxuries against absolute necessities (for instance, a handheld GPS is fun and helpful, but a map and compass work fine, too). Your specific destination may require additional gear or far less, if weight is an issue.

        Enjoy a full outdoor feast while at the campsite with the Infinity four-person deluxe table set. The color-coded tableware system includes four 6-inch bowls with lids, four 17-ounce insulated mugs, four 12-ounce drinking glasses, four 9-inch plates, and a mesh stuff sack--in short, everything you need for a meal of pasta, soup, hot chocolate, and ice water.



        The dishes nest together for easy storage and packing. The tableware's color coding makes it easy for individuals to identify their respective dishes and keep them separate. Plus, the unique mugs include insulated EVA sleeves and specially designed Sip-It lids to keep beverages hot and prevent spills.

        Each dish is made of Infinity clear polypropylene, an ultra-lightweight, completely recyclable, BPA-free alternative to polycarbonate resins. Not only is Infinity dishware 25 percent lighter than polycarbonate dishes, but it won't absorb odors like other plastics and will not leach plasticizers or other chemicals into either foods or beverages. Infinity pieces remain strong in both hot and cold conditions and are so light that they actually remain buoyant when filled with water. They're even dishwasher-safe, becoming more stain-resistant with every wash.

        And when it's time to pack up your stuff, the dishes nest together and fit snugly inside the mesh stuff sack. Packing up couldn't be easier.
