Murtis Around Town


I learned a number of years ago of the environmental devastation from gardening with peat moss and stopped doing so. Here’s a great blog discussing the down and dirty of peat moss.
Most of us are gardening for beauty, to have better food, and to help the environment. The more we know about how we garden, the more beauty we can create–in our own gardens and wherever our gardens are sourced.
When we were winding up and preparing to be locked out of our jobs, I said to a co-worker that I planned to get out a stepstool and clean the cat hair off of the ceiling fans.
He replied that he had plenty of yard work to do.
I was out in the garden for some time this morning. A squirrel or other garden terrorist had knocked some almost ripe and some green tomatoes off the vine. I brought them inside to turn into something, I don’t yet know what.
What I thought when I was in the garden picking peppers was that I bet there are a lot of nonessential feds doing yardwork today.
