Diane Prater 7/09/2022 6:45 AMit is helpful being a part of this challenge that makes me think a little deeper about using a zip loc bag as I used so use these all the time I now have reusable bags and it makes me feel good when using them. I just planted a herb garden so more to come when I start using my own fresh herbs ...YUM!
