Spring ephemerals - I found an inexpensive source
Comments (52)Brenda, last I checked...people weren't in danger of becoming rare or extinct. I don't care about their poverty..that is NO excuse for poaching. It is in-excusable for major corporations to buy that which was poached from state and federal lands, which belong to ALL of us, then turn around and sell it for profit. There are many, many government programs available to the poor...from pre-natal care all the way up to elder care programs and hospice. Including free college tuition, work training, food, medical care, etc. I have been really poor...I have lived on Ramen Noodles and tortillas and potatoes for months at a time, yet I never felt the need to steal. Heck, I was unemployed and uninsured when I was diagnosed with MS..and I didn't go hold up the corner store to pay for my tests and treatment. I used every government/private program I could use to do that which needed to be done..after all, I had already paid for it many times over. What these folks are doing is stealing, and what they're stealing is our natural heritage. And they're stealing it from each and every one of us, and our children and grand-children. People who go on "plant rescues" with reputable organisations don't turn around and sell the dang things to the highest bidder. Silverkat...If you can't beat 'em, join 'em? I'd rather not join 'em. And yes, boycotts do work. I have lots and lots of ethically collected or nursery grown and propagated native plants. I don't need Lowe's. The ethically collected plants and seeds are out there, all that's required is a little research. VERY little..people who grow natives are usually happy to admit their stock is on the up and up. If enough people cared enough not to buy those little baggies of dessicated native plants..well, there'd be no financial incentive to carry them in the store. Which would go a long way towards solving the problem, wouldn't it? april...See MoreHow do furniture manufacturers rate for social responsibility
Comments (0)Or is it a concern if furniture manufacturers use a environmentally safe water base glue verses a chemical based glue that is toxic to its employees and the environment? Or is it a concern if furniture manufacturers use a environmentally safe non-toxic flame retardant liner verses foam cushions filled with toxic chemicals also know to cause damage to your health and the environment?...See MoreHow Does My Garden Grow..............
Comments (16)Jessy (nice name, by the way :-D) I think you can justify anything using social responsibility! For example, water is still being used to grow the tomatoes you buy at the market, you might even be a more efficient water-user! And also, I can testify to the fact that you can grow tomatoes without watering, although your plants will look rather more like mine (abused, lacking foliage, but plenty of fruit), and rather less like Ann's (as if they're part of some sort of domestic goddess culinary-garden-of-Eden paradise) :-/ However, if you find gardening to be a chore, I think you're totally right about it not being a good idea due to the drought :-D...See MoreFood gifts in the time of Coronavirus
Comments (45)Mtn, I went to the larger market chain after I wrote my post and still a lot of empty shelves. No eggs, limited supply of milk, no paper goods (limited to one package if there are any) . No chicken. Limited variety of canned soups. Plenty of vegetables and fruit, and this time they had a "normal" selection of bread. I also found some fresh turkey thighs that DH loves and will be happy to cook in his Green Egg. So I think part of the problem is that I would need to stop in at the 4 local supermarkets to get everything I would normally use, which isn't a great idea at the moment. The expensive market has a good selection of beef, but you will pay $32/lb for a steak, so not in the budget for many. I think it is just a matter of population density and some hoarding. But OMG, there was a woman at the supermarket with 4 kids. A baby in a stroller, maybe a 6 and 10 year old and an older teen girl. No masks or gloves on any of them. Why wouldn't you leave the kids with the older teen, even if you just left them all in the car outside? Everyone else was keeping their distance, most were wearing masks and a fair number also had gloves on. They had a line outside to limit people in the store and to give everyone a cart that had been wiped down....See Morefunctionthenlook
