Inspired by Leuwam’s pickled grapes, I decided to give this pickling thing a try. You guys! I want to pickle everything now. Since this was my very first time pickling anything, I thought I’d play it safe and try some simpler recipes. A little googling and a chat with Liz left me with two recipes that felt pretty manageable. Of course, I can never leave well enough alone, so here are my adapted versions!

I’ve got the recipes along with a bunch more pickle pictures over on my blog!

When the weather turns, Dave and I want to make some changes out back. I spent a little time online looking for gardening inspiration!


This Wine Bottle Herb Bed on Hyperlocavore is rocking my socks! It may be time to start saving those bottles!

>>I’ve got a couple more inspirational photos over on my blog, too. I guess I’m after ides that use materials that I either have or can scavenge. Do you guys have any projects you want to share?

I just love seeing kids learning good habits. I feel like this sort of thing helps shape environmentally responsible grownups! You can read all about the program over at my post on Ecolocalizer!

Although flies hate the strong aroma of rue, it’s fortunately pleasant to humans. We will definitely be keeping the herb around our fruit bowls from now on.

Turns out that Rue will keep those itty bitty flies away while you let your fruit ripen in the kitchen! So much better than chemicals all around your food.
