We went to the garden center today and picked up some more seeds and soil. There was a lot to be done in the garden this weekend. First order of business involved stabbing a number of holes into the bottom of a forlorn and lidless rubbermaid tub thus transforming it into a cuke-topia! There are two fair sized cucumber plants comfortably situated in there now. I also re potted another bean plant, harvested a crop of baby carrots, re-tied the tomatoes and trimmed the fuscias, tomatoes, and strawberries (which have amazingly started flowering again). By the end of the day there will be some newly planted peas and lettuce.
Since it is Sunday I thought I'd put my dos centavos in about sustainability. On my mind at the moment is soap. We really love the new citrus Dr. Bronners. We use it for hands, dishes, and laundry. We've even cleaned the toilet with it. We get the liquid in bulk which saves on money and plastic. We also have a few Ecocloths that we recently picked up. This link is for a similar product since at the moment my memory on the exact brand we own escapes me. Oh, another thing about cleanliness and sustainability is the issue of chemical hazards in soaps, shampoos and beauty products. The website called Skin Deep will tell the consumer what products contain potentially harmful chemicals. (cha-ching...maybe more next Sunday)
Tonight we're watching the film version of The Age of Innocence. I'm hoping it will be as well done as Ethan Frome.

Age of Innocence was pretty good. Dr. Bronner's rocks, it is the most multi-purpose soap I've encountered!
I enjoyed Age of innocence ...messed up as one would expect from whaton apparently...lol
Does the skin deep website approach things from an environmental or health prespective...or both??
