Gardening in June: Blackberries, Jalapenos, and Bell Peppers

By Tiffany Leave a Comment

June has been an exciting gardening month for me. It is a daily joy to go outside and see how things are growing and changing. Unless of course I go outside and see that squirrels have been eating my bell pepper plants, then I just want to go outside with a .22 and maybe have some squirrel stew for dinner. In lieu of that I have been making sure to spray them with an oil/cayenne pepper mixture and so far that seems to be working. I have already lost 4 of my 6 original bell pepper plants though. … [Read more...]

Great Gardening Books for Kids

This is the time of year when garden plans start to come together. You may already have seedlings growing indoors so that they will be ready for transplant when the threat of snow and frost has finally passed. You might be itching to get outside and start digging in the dirt. I know I am!

It is important to me … [Read more...]

Green Goals for 2013

By Tiffany 4 Comments

My personal resolutions or goals for 2013 have been made. Now it is time to make a few goals specific to a greener lifestyle and environment so that I can 'up my game' in that department even more. It's all part of being a socially responsible member of my community. I am excited to work on a few things that are lacking and also delve into new territory. Goal #1 - Grow More Food!! Last year was the first year we grew absolutely nothing and I feel rather disappointed in myself. We have a … [Read more...]

How to be a savvy organic shopper

By Tiffany 1 Comment

Reprinted from the Pocono Record July 06, 2006 YONKERS, N.Y. — An investigation Consumer Reports has found that shoppers don't need to buy organic foods across the board to get added health value. The report tells shoppers which organic products are worth seeking out — and which ones are not. Consumers can pass on organic seafood and shampoo, for example, because their labels can be misleading. The full investigation appeared in the February issue of Consumer Reports. The complete … [Read more...]
