I ordered a dozen blueberry plants back in the fall and they finally arrived this week. We planted 3 each of the following varieties: Bluegold, Patriot, Bluecrop, and Sunshine.

I went to Albertsons this morning and spent $25.23. Here’s what I bought with all my coupons: 12 boxes of cereal, 3 gallons of milk, 2 dozen eggs, 2 lbs butter, 4 boxes of fruit roll-ups, 11 Kit Kat bars and 3 Christmas ornaments. That breaks down to $.66 an item. Maybe this is a Read More >>

I just finished reading a book called Plenty: Eating Locally on the 100-Mile Diet. I’ve been thinking about the whole eating local thing since I read Barbara Kingslover’s book Animal, Vegetable, Miracle. I had no idea the average food miles (food from the field to the table) was 1,500 miles. I guess it hit Read More >>
