Seedy Saturday

Great local event that I’ve been lucky to attend and stock up on some local organic seeds, that you could not only buy, but also exchange with other people. We might try that next year if our crops will be successful. By the way, we’ll be expanding our little garden this summer. It won’t be big enough to grow potatoes (someday!) but should be enough for our favourites: tomatoes, cucumbers, some peppers, herbs and salads. I got these giant sunflower seeds, called "Russian mammoth":). Couldn't resist the curiosity and see if they will grow 12 ft high!

I also bought these planting pots made of cow manure to try. Should be good for the plants considering the material they made of:)

Have you been to Terra 20?

First one in Canada and in our city! Right next to Ikea, Pincrest Shopping Centre, to be specific.

Lots of green products from organic shampoos to organic clothing and kitchen décor. I was particularly impressed with their Eco bar, where you can fill a canister of a size you need with any type of cleaning product: laundry detergent, bath or window cleaner, etc. then pay at the cashier for the amount. Once you run out, you come back and refill it again in the same canister. I still need to read up on this system before I commit, but I think it’s worth looking into.
