Assiniboine Park

My small garden has been a great success this summer. I have shared rhubarb, lettuce, basil, parsley and oregano with friends, neighbours and family. I will soon have cucumbers, peppers, potatoes, tomatoes, etc. to share. Gardening is a really simple way to share produce, recipes and create conversations.

zero plastic lunch treat for the win!

these little stickers are my plastic pet peeve for today!

I found this challenge to be harder than I expected, especially for produce.  It made me realize just how many plastic vegetable bags I actually use (even though I do re-purpose them).  I searched online and found a couple of patterns to crochet my own produce bags . . . my next project!

Prepackaged snacks add more waste, are sometimes less healthy for you, and also tend to cost more. 

After a hard rain, there always seems to be more litter exposed.

Picking up litter always gives me a sense of pride for where I live and work. And it is one more piece of trash that won't end up in our waterways.

Getting back into the routine of using mesh produce bags. 

Keep up the good work everyone!
