Earthquake 2011. East Coast Style. Did the Earth Move For You?

August 30, 2011 By: Anna1 Comment

Over the last month, New Jersey has experienced an earthquake, and got blasted by Hurricane Irene.  I feel like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz with all the freaky weather and hoping my house doesn’t fall on the Wicked Witch of the West. We all know how that story played out. But I wanted to […]

Growing Edamame: Complete Protein, Great Snack, Easy to Grow

August 26, 2011 By: Annacomment

I love edamame and decided to grow it last year.  What I discovered is not only do I love it, so did my neighborhood ground hog.  He thought the leaves were delish.  So delish that he single handedly killed my plants. (Note, deer love the leaves too.) Without the leaves, plants can’t grow.  Worse yet, […]

Why Is Being Green on Vacation Such a Low Priority?

August 23, 2011 By: Anna11 Comments

Here is the sad truth.   When you go on vacation, you might as well leave your environmental side at home.  Otherwise, you will be stressed to the gills.  Trust me. I know. Recently, we spent the week in a vacation resort area of South Carolina. I fought the good fight for a week and […]

Growing and Harvesting Garlic from Bubblet Seed

August 10, 2011 By: Anna3 Comments

Two years ago, I purchased hardneck garlic bubblets from Sand Hill Preservation. (See here for a difference between softneck and hardneck varieties.)  Hardneck varieties fare better in my northern climate. I learned through this whole process that the bubblets are round garlic seeds that grow from the top of the plant.  (See the picture above […]

Bee Sting Home Remedies. Take the Bite Out of the Sting

August 8, 2011 By: Anna2 Comments

  Yesterday, I tackled the unimaginable.  Garden #1.  My garden looks like a madwoman lives there.  Oregano had gone wild invading every nook and cranny.  (One my invasive thug plants even Tony Soprano hates.)  Grass, clover, and a bunch of  no name weeds are everywhere.  At this point, I can’t even find my vegetables.  And […]

Buying a New Green Car is Like Yanking Out a Permanent Tooth.

August 3, 2011 By: Anna13 Comments

Buying a new green car is like yanking out a permanent tooth. I previously explained what happened to my beloved 2005 Sienna and outlined my criteria for a new car.  All and all searching for a new car was full of a mixture of emotions:   pain, anxiety, and loss.    I balanced comfort with eco-friendliness, all wheel […]

To Fix or Buy a New Green Car. Only the Rump Knows

August 1, 2011 By: Anna2 Comments

Last weekend my beloved Toyota 2005 Sienna died on the highway.  Was it simply a stroke or a fatal heart attack?  Right now she is in the ICU suffering from a broken transmission and differential in addition to having slight arthritis in the sliding power door and a broken rear windshield wiper. Right now I am in […]
