It's Not Easy Being Green...

Oh, the dilemmas...


My covered beds are being warmed by a light bulb...


And I'm using grow lights in my greenhouse.  Mike says that using power to grow food isn't "green".  Maybe he's right...I'm not growing many things that I couldn't get from my local CSA.  My garden might just be a luxury....


This is my storage bag dryer...yes, I wash, dry and reuse my plastic storage bags.  So, I guess that somehow being "green" is all about trade offs, really....I hope I get points for trying!

On the Bright Side...

It's hard to find much that is good about the incredibly cold, wet summer we had here in the Pacific Northwest...but I found this today...normally my flower baskets would have dried up and gone to seed weeks ago, but this year they are still blooming and beautiful in the middle of September...


Enjoy!
