I love to hoe

My garden brings me so much peace. I get home from work, go outside and look at the growth of my garden. 

I have started most of my garden from seeds. The lettuce, the cucumbers, tomatoes, watermelon, basil and various flowers. I weed the little plot, fill it with dirt, aerate the soil and carefully plan how the garden should grow. Once you see the little seedlings pop up you get this burst of excitement. I surround them with the compost I create from our kitchen (and some help from red worms) and my little seedlings just thrive. You should see my roses! The fragrance will put a smile on your face every time. 

The best part about gardening is not how good the fruit and vegetables taste, but the knowledge that you grew your own food and it is good for the earth. See? You can be a tree hugger without wrapping your arms around bark

Screw Teabaggin…Try Treehuggin!

 

It is in our hands

I am a total tree hugger….TOTALLY. Except that I don’t necessarily look like a tree hugger. I try to buy used clothing, I recycle, I buy organic when I can afford it, I grow vegetables, I compost, I use green light bulbs, I unplug everything, I turn off the water in between rinsing and I walk where ever I can. I do believe we can make a difference by doing things that do impact our lives or the comfort of them. I save money in gas and in electricity. Yup, that’s right I save money! You should see how much money I save in clothes and I do not compromise in style…..well, my style. 

So I urge you to do something today and tomorrow and the next day. You, me and all of us can make a difference. Take a step. It will make you feel good. And, even if you do not believe in global warming it can save you some cash$$ ….we all like that.
