They have many different types of decorative rocks and mulches, but their true claim to fame is that their vegetable starts have been grown to be more tolerant of the high desert and inclement weather.

Everyone's Irish on St. Patrick's Day, or so the saying goes. If that's not true, it's still a great day to celebrate Irish culture. Our real estate agents want to share some hints to bring the history and legends to life with a little family fun.

• Start the day with dinner!
  Older children may enjoy helping put dinner in the crockpot so that it can simmer all day. Start with four shredded carrots (or two cups pre-cut), ten baby red potatoes cut in quarters, and one chopped onion at the bottom of the pot. Place four pounds of corned beef brisket on top of the veggies and cover with three cups of water and two cups of beef broth. Sprinkle spices from the flavor packet that came with brisket on top. Cook on low for eight hours. An hour before serving, stir in 1/2 head of shredded cabbage and cook for another hour. Dinner will be ready and waiting for you at the end of the day.
