Green Thumb and carbon footprint




Recycled chic bamboo bowls, bird vases and tumblers from re:modern



When we return it will almost be time for our CSA pickups! 4 families went in on 2 shares of vegetable bounty! So, that means that 3 weeks a month a friend will deliver farm fresh delights to my humble little cooler waiting on the porch! I'll do pick-up and drop-offs the other week. Sounds like a good reason to come home! Buckhorn Gardens near Montrose, Colorado! mmmm
I may have to get the new Moosewood.

Quite Literally Succulent











Yet another stop by Met Home Magazine to highlight this delicious Vertical Garden.
It is so gorgeous- It reminds me of some indoor vertical pieces I've seen which would be a lot more practical in Colorado.
I also rember seeing succulent pillows done with chicken wire and moss for an outdoor garden. Of course, this was years ago in Seattle. I haven't forgotten how tactile and colorful it was. I think I must have one!!!
I have some beautiful succulents in my garden, however, this article said that this wall piece took almost 3 months to get to the stage where it was solid enough to be hung...which, of course, would require patience. Where is the instant gratification in that?
