Do you ever pay attention to exactly how much we throw away? Even I catch myself tossing items into the trash can only later to think that I should have recycled that particular item out in the garden or turned it into something else. I wonder what our ancestors will think when they come across […]
This month and next can be a treasure-trove of free finds along the curb for your garden. Not only will you be seeing bags of leaves and other detritus to help improve your soil, you will also be seeing pumpkins. While we do not decorate at our house for Halloween I love autumn and all […]
