The south will rise again? Well.. we are working on it. Bringing another community site into the mix we now have ChesterfieldDaily.net that has just been released.
The benefits of spinach! Do you eat enough of it?
So since I started growing my garden back a couple months ago I have been doing a lot of research on what I am actually growing and the benefits of what I am eating! This first segment (hopefully I will be inspired to write more) is all about spinach! Something every kid is sure to hate but something every kid, adult, senior citizen should eat ... more than you think!
If you hate reading, then here's a quick list of spinach benefits.
The benefits of spinach are pretty amazing. Of course every article reference's Popeye - however it is considered a "super food" because it packs so many vitamins and minerals that are needed for a good number of health benefits.
Spinach is most readily available in the spring and the fall. Spinach plants love cool weather and they thrive in your garden ready to be picked a couple times a week. There are 3 basic kinds of spinach, savoy, flat or smooth-leaf, and semi-savoy. If you do grow spinach savoy has crinkly leaves and is harder to clean but great for salads. However to get the most nutrients out of your spinach it needs to be cooked. This will help release the nutrients so they are easier for your body to absorb. You can boil, steam, sauté, and even microwave!

Awww my first tomato!
I have become a little obsessive with my garden. My wife would tell you the same, but today was a special day as the first "fruit of my labor" came forth today - a tomato! I have three tomato plants and the runt of the three blossomed first, which surprised me!
Here are some pictures from the garden, as well as my beautiful wife!

Tires, from the internet to my doorstep!
So in conclusion (from my previous post) I came home yesterday and there were my tires sitting on my doorstep! The next thing I gotta do is figure out how much it will cost for them to put the tire on my car! If it's less than 60$, I win!
