Being green when the ground is - brown
My herbs moved inside. The basil died, the rosemary is fading, and the oregano is stretching toward its sole source of light, the bay windows on the south side of the house. Meanwhile, I'm planting another type of idea: reusing holiday cards. Armed with last year's cards and a few pairs of craft scisso

Rake, rake, rake.
What to do with the leaves after raking? Well, we could have raked them into the street like the rest of the city does. The crews pick them up, drag dump truck upon dump truck full of leaves to the brush dump, and pile them up to become mulch. City residents can then bring their buckets and trash cans and fill them with mulch for free. I've done it in the past, and I'll do it again I'm sure.

Autumn: time to plan for spring
We're planning to move the tomatoes next year. They need a location with direct sun, enough space to grow, and far enough from the peppers and other plants that the tomatoes don't steal their thunder, or sun, either. Our solution: a new plot, just for tomatoes. I'm trying something new, or new to me: the lasagna style preparation.The first layer goes over the grass; layered newspaper or boxes. I chose boxes. Flattened out, held down by boards from an old deck, they'll make a fine base for the new tomato home.

It's not H1N1, but...
You can tell I've been ill. Not H1N1, despite having almost half my class of fourth graders ill with flu-like symptoms, but I'm definitely not my usual Daisy-like self. A few giveaways:A beautiful October day, and I didn't even open a window.I didn't know that the bunny's litter box was due for a change until after my late shower cleared my sinuses enough to smell its, er, condition. I haven't been online in three days. I napped on and off all day, ignoring the lovely autumn weather. I found Mythbusters hilarious, but hoped they composted the banana peels from their experiment involving slipperiness.The biggest clue that I've been und
