Or hold house was in the perfect location. Three blocks from the park and library, a couple more blocks to the shops downtown, and if I felt snackish a little further to a Subway. Only if the weather was bad, or we were going to the grocery store, did we need the [...]]]></description>

		<title>How Do You Deal With the Heat</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		

My poor plants! 
The peppers and strawberries seem to be fading fast in the heat, and I think the peas are already goners. Despite keeping them in the shade during the hottest parts of the day, and making sure they are watered deeply, the heat is shriveling them up. And we haven&#8217;t even hit the [...]]]></description>

Yesterday was the local food coop pick-up day, and along with some yummy foods I also walked away with a collection of plants. Four small strawberry plants, and one large thornless blackberry plant. Tomorrow they get to be moved onto the back patio with the rest of my container garden, where they will hopefully make [...]]]></description>

		<title>Can You Live With 15 Things?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		

One of my favorite new blogs, Love and Trash, had a post up a couple weeks ago about cutting down to only 15 things of clothing. It&#8217;s a huge thing for some people, cutting down on the things that most of society assumes you need more of.
I assumed that this would be a no-brainer for [...]]]></description>

		<title>When Green Things Appear Right Before Yor Eyes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		

Sometimes you just know something can be reused, even if you don&#8217;t just how yet.
We like green onions around here. They go in soups, in rice, in casseroles, and pretty much anything I think to toss a handful in. But silly me, I&#8217;ve always tossed the bulbs into the compost and bought a new bunch. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Genetically Modified Problems</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		

Yesterday I read a piece at Dr. Mercola&#8217;s site about genetically modified (GM) foods and the risk of sterility. It seems that a group of researchers fed a bunch of hamsters GM soy and watched what would happen. According to Mercola, their death rates went up in the second generation and by the third generation [...]]]></description>

		<title>I&#8217;m Back! And Greener Gardening</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Wow, has it been a long, strange several months! Things happened, like moving again. This time across the state, and into a much smaller townhouse. My big backyard has been replaced by a tiny patch of dirt that doesn't seem fit to grow anything. 

So as I waved my garden goodbye, I made plans to grow a new one. A greener, smaller one.]]></description>

I have a small, ceramic, kitchen scrap bin that I use for collecting compost material. Normally I dump it out every evening and wash it out. This system has worked great, up until now. Suddenly there are gnats flying all over the kitchen.
Since the Mr. isn&#8217;t the compost and gardening type, he&#8217;s [...]]]></description>
