We are doing our part to save the planet.

The best corn ever and tomatoes that are to die for...I always buy from them in the summer. Every year I say I'm going to buy more and do some canning, but I never do. Maybe next year. I'm also getting rid of the big ol' wood swing set with the fort in my backyard next year (neighbor with a new baby taking it) and planting a vegetable garden next spring. My brother is a great gardener and gave me lots of tips on successful gardening this summer. <BR/><BR/>Oh...and my daughter, bless her heart, bought one of those hand pushed mowers, no gas or electricity, to cut her lawn. She said her neighbors kept offering to lend her their lawnmowers. They were surprised that she actually wanted to use the thing, not a gas lawnmower.Mary Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07835150057881066641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10048624.post-80262094565486948462008-09-25T20:50:00.000-07:002008-09-25T20:50:00.000-07:00I'd support my local growers, but they've long sin...I'd support my local growers, but they've long since gone from Long Island with most if the land sold to local developers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10048624.post-67508675273085089862008-09-25T19:47:00.000-07:002008-09-25T19:47:00.000-07:00I'm thirsty.I'm thirsty.Liquidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03515708086582181923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10048624.post-17358037026479986592008-09-25T15:30:00.000-07:002008-09-25T15:30:00.000-07:00Utah is so right when she says "everything is poli...Utah is so right when she says "everything is political."
