Great Gardens Begin in Winter

By Tiffany 15 Comments

One of the biggest obstacles for newbie home gardeners and homesteaders is that they get gung ho about their gardening goals a little bit too late in the year.

Eco Stocking Stuffer Ideas for Adults

By Tiffany 3 Comments

Looking for some unique stocking stuffer ideas for the adults in your life that won't break the bank or the planet? I have compiled a list of some of my favorites. I am not big on cutesy stuff or novelty items that have no real function in every day life. Yeah, that Santa that poops jelly beans is cute but I would not want to find it in my stocking. Impractical items just seem like a waste to me so everything on this list is functional and would be most welcome in the life of your treehugger. Or … [Read more...]

Getting Kids Excited About Gardening

By Tiffany 10 Comments

January and February in this house means lots of garden planning. Last month the Worm Factory was set up to compost for us and this past week a small greenhouse went up. We are now itching to get to auctions and estate sales so we can grab up planters and to get seedlings going in the meantime. We have tons of heirloom seeds and lots of dreams AND fortunately for us our kids get just as excited about growing things as we do. They all want to help because a garden is magical. Childhood is a … [Read more...]

Food Inc. Movie

By Tiffany 22 Comments

I am catching up on all those green documentaries I have been wanting to see and for dirt cheap I might add. Netflix rocks!

Factory farms and Monsanto are the … [Read more...]
