Week Ten in the garden- Earth Day

The kale is growing quiet well. Nothing around it even compares.

This little squash plant is already starting to grow little zucchinis. How exciting!

Our yukon golds are finally coming up. So that means it is time for some hilling.

Today Daddy mulched the tomato bed with fresh bark. Boy does it looks nice.

Strawberries are always better the second year around and judging by the size of these plants we will be enjoying more of these these little berries.

In honor of Earth Day we are planting a persimmon tree.

First Daddy dug a really deep hole and then he planted our new tree in a circle of bark. We think it looks great. What did you do for Earth Day?

Happy Green (Earth) Day!!!

Here are some of the green things in our lives:

1. We bring our own grocery bags when we go to the store.

2. We drink filtered water from our fridge.

3. We compost.

4. We grow our own food when we can.

5. We use reusable napkins instead of paper napkins.

6. We use reusable towels instead of paper towels.

7. We use vinegar, baking soda, and hydrogen peroxide to clean.

8. We use soap nuts instead of laundry detergent.

9. We make our own shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste (human and pup), and deodorant at home.

10. We buy in bulk to help reduce packaging.

Some things we to hope work on this year:

1. Learn how to make rain barrels to save rain water.

2. Look into solar panels.
