I've made the big time, folks, and it's all due to HELIUM! Check out the June Issue of Maximum Yield USA Magazine and you'll catch my article "Plants Have Relative Problems, Too". The September issue will also feature one of my articles. Who knew so much could happen to an amature horticulturist. just because she was lucky enough to stumble across HELIUM.

Of course, if I hadn't been looking for my husband's website (He just so happens to do helium leak testing all over the country) I never would have found HELIUM. Fate is funny that way.

I love plants and because of this love I've written a garden column for several years for our local paper and now contribute to several on-line gardening websites. I enjoy making gardening easy for everyone so, if you ever have a garden question, just ask. If I don't know the answer I'll search until I do and possibly write another article.

One of my articles "Signs of someone falling in love" is posted at: http://www.life123.com/relationships/dating/falling-in-love/ falling-in-love-the-more-humorous-signs.shtml

Take a look at it and tell me if you've ever seen it happen to your friends or perhaps yourself!

My main love, however, is writing short stories several of which I have posted on HELIUM. Only thing is some of my stories are too long for HELIUM. So if you want to read a more in-depth story , a novelette or sequals and prequals to others already at HELIUM go to Glory's Stories and read a little story. It might get you out of your funk.

I have just been appointed keeper of the Tree and Shrub Sub-channel in the Home and Gardening channel. That is to say I am now Channel Steward for the trees and shrubs, a Lorax of sorts. So if you have any concerns, queries or comments do feel free to let me know them. I am here to help and, of course to speak for the trees and shrubs, for they have no tongues as we all know.

Also, I have just created three Zones.

Ornamental Grasses Zone : http://www.helium.com/zone/2775-ornamental-grasses

The Harry Potter Zone : http://www.helium.com/zone/2767-harry-potter

The Tree Zone : http://www.helium.com/zone/2774-

I contribute to the Botany Zone as well: http://www.helium.com/zone/2774-

Home & Garden > Trees & Shrubs Great reasons to plant trees around your home

In case you didn't know Arbor Days pop up all over the country each and every spring. Each state has its own Arbor Day and with that comes the celebration of trees. The Lorax of Dr. Seuss fame along with many a tree-hugger, environmentalist, nature conservationist, not to mention birds, squirrels and chipmunks, no doubt love this time of year. But if you are not one of these you may be wondering why you, the average homeowner, should celebrate this most holy of gardening holidays by planting a tree. If the beauty of a tree alone isn't enough to get you digging a hole for a tree whether it b...
