An herb garden is easily maintained with minimum daily care, and planter gardens and potted herbs can be easily moved inside once autumn frosts begin, making it possible to maintain an herb garden all year long. If you are thinking of adding perennial herbs to your garden, you are making a good choice due to the fact they don't die easily or need replanting after every year goes by. Over and above this, you might consider your personal taste inclinations when choosing herbs to flavor dishes. It is crucial to plant herbs that you will use. If you love to cook Latin food, you will certainly use cilantro. If you like Italian food, you should decide to plant basil, oregano, and thyme. The placement of your herb garden will define what herbs can be planted and how long they will endure. It may be less complicated to plant right into the soil if you live in a place that has warm winters and much cooler summers. This is a very good way to spruce up your garden without having the pain of purchasing or creating planters. There is nothing you can do to escape harsh climate conditions that might affect your plants. However, there is hope because planters can be moved indoors whenever there's bad weather outdoors so they are flexible and practical for your herbs.

The Source of Today's Fountains

The Source of Today's Fountains Hundreds of ancient Greek records were translated into Latin under the auspices of the scholarly Pope Nicholas V, who led the Roman Catholic Church from 1397 to 1455. Beautifying Rome and making it the worthy capital of the Christian world was at the heart of his ambitions. Starting in 1453, the ruined ancient Roman aqueduct known as the Aqua Vergine which had brought clean drinking water into the city from eight miles away, underwent reconstruction at the bidding of the Pope. A mostra, a monumental celebratory fountain built by ancient Romans to mark the point of entry of an aqueduct, was a custom which was restored by Nicholas V. The architect Leon Battista Alberti was directed by the Pope to construct a wall fountain where we now see the Trevi Fountain. Changes and extensions, included in the restored aqueduct, eventually provided the Trevi Fountain and the well-known baroque fountains in the Piazza del Popolo and Piazza Navona with the necessary water supply.
