She's very green as well. Recycles everything, cans and the list goes on. Not sure how the 2 of us can be so different and yet so much alike!! She doesn't even use her garbage disposal, instead she keeps a container next to the sink and puts banana peels, eggs shells, coffee grounds etc. in it and then dumps it in her compost. We should all be more like that to save our poor earth. I have to admit it's catchy because I want to be more like that now. Any suggestions on what's safe to plant right now? Should I put the seed right into the dirt or should I buy plants that are already started? |
Do you know what zone you're in? I know that I am in a zone 6, and it is safe to plant onions, garlic, some hardy herbs, lettuce, broccoli, violas, pansies, etc.
