Eco-Friendly Friday!

Grow your own garden!

We are! Our sugar snap peas have already come and gone, and they were delicious! We have a few different varieties of tomato plants growing outside, with nice big green fruit on them already. The carrots arent doing a whole lot, I'm not sure what is going wrong there. We have parsley! We have a couple little zucchini (I think) plants. In the green house we have kale, which has gone to seed, and I've collected some already.

This is our third year of trying to garden, and this is the biggest batch of plants we've had yet. The only problem is getting outside every morning and/or night to water them!

Eco-Friendly Friday!

A new feature I'm going to try and stick with, giving you some eco tips, or neat ideas I find online, and such. I try to be as green and eco-friendly as I can, (and afford!); I love looking at all the 'green' books in bookstores that all tell me the same thing over and over. Shop with reusable bags! Ditch disposables! Turn off your lights! I like finding a *new* idea, something I havent read or heard of before. I've used the Facebook application "I Am Green" and its a great way to discover new things, and keep track of all you do. Personally, I do a lot. I'll have to list it all here one day, just so you can be in awe of my awesomeness. HAH!

So here's my first tip: reusable produce bags.





I HATE plastic bags, and I especially HATE all those little produce bags that accumulate in your cupboards. I've seen recently that in different grocery stores they are using biodegradable bags now, recyclable, etc. That is good to see. Myself, I bought reusable mesh produce bags from Thrifys, and loved them.. until I lost most of them. I can only find 2.
OH WOE.
I'll have to buy some more.
