The Basics of Garden Herbs
Some gardeners are enticed to herbal plants which can easily be grown inside the house and out and are suitable in a wide array of cooking techniques. These plants are easy to grow and have the appeal of instant gratification, as they can be used in soups, marinades, and other recipes. An herb garden is easy to maintain 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 backyard, you are making a good choice because they don't die easily or need replanting after every year passes. Your flavor and texture preferences in cooking with herbs are key considerations in choosing which herbs to grow. Basil, oregano, and thyme are great herbs to plant if you like cooking and eating Italian food. If you prefer Latin themed food, you may choose to plant cilantro instead. You must decide where your herb garden will be grown in order to figure out which herbs will mature best. If you live in a mild climate, with warm winters and relatively cool summers, it may be easiest to plant straight into the ground. It is simultaneously an attractive way to landscape your yard and an easy way to go because you do not need to assemble or buy planters. There is nothing you can do to escape harsh climate conditions that might impact your plants. However, there's hope because planters can be transported indoors whenever there's bad weather outside so they are flexible and practical for your herbs.

Bernini: The Master of Italy's Most Impressive Water Fountains
Bernini's earliest fountain, named Barcaccia, is a masterful work of art found at the foot of the Trinita dei Monti in Piaza di Spagna. This spot continues to be filled with Roman locals and tourists who enjoy exchanging gossip or going over the day's news. Today, the city streets around Bernini's water fountain are a trendy place where people go to gather, something which the artist would have been pleased to learn. Dating back to around 1630, Pope Urbano VIII mandated what was to be the very first fountain of the artist's career. People can now see the fountain as a depiction of a great ship gradually sinking into the Mediterranean. The great 16th century flooding of the Tevere, which left the entire region inundated with water, was memorialized by the fountain according to documents from the time. In 1665, France was graced by Bernini's only prolonged journey outside of Italy.
