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.
