Reminder 1: Shop locally!!! As we begin to enter the summer season, this is a great time to visit your local farmer's market. I visited a great one on Memorial Day near Lexington, Mass. Everything was so beautiful and inspiring. Such amazing colors in all shapes and sizes...and even onions as big as my head! Dream big, 20/30's! This could be our garden in a few short months.
Reminder 2: When composting, keep in mind this easy list...
Compost Kitchen Greens: Fruit scraps, vegetable scaps, houseplant cuttings, coffee grounds, rice, pasta, egg shells, and tea bags.
Compost Kitchen Browns: Coffee filters, stale bread, paper napkins and towels, dryer lint, and hair.
Compost Yard Greens: Flowers, vegetables, plant trimmings, hedge clippings, grass (small amounts).
Compost Yard Browns: Leaves, straw, hay, small twigs/chips, dried grass, and weeds.
DO NOT Compost: Meat, fish/bones, dairy product, oils/fats, sauces, ashes, pet waste, diseased plants, or mature weeks with seeds.
