    Awesome.
    It always baffles me when someone tells me something like ‘those shorts last forever, i’ve had them over a year.” um. i do not give up on a garment. I think my wardrobe is literally made up of half 3+ year old clothes, and half hand me downs from my mom’s college days, grandma’s 40s, and my high school apparel. my favorite sweater is one i got at goodwill when i was about 17. i’m 27 now.

    Useful advice. I am trying to only add well-made things to the household, so they do last.

    That is one of my favorite quotes as well. I’m trying hard to live up to it. :-)

    I’ve never heard that quote, but I LOVE it. I started mapping out a counted cross stitch pattern for it last night. I plan to hang it in my kitchen when it’s finished. :-)

About

This is a journal of my small organic gardens in north eastern Ohio, zone 5(a). Our gardens are named after our dog Lucy, a big brown/black lab mix from the local pound. We started calling her “Chiots” when she was a puppy and the name stuck. She thinks the yard and gardens belong to her, she chases away all squirrels & rabbits and the UPS man.

Our yard is very small and fairly shady, we are surrounded by woods all 3 sides. The soil is made up of rocks and clay, not the best, but I’ve spent 7 years adding chicken manure & compost. When we first moved in 8 years ago, the gardens were in terrible shape from years of neglect and too many chemical pesticides and fertilizers. It has taken years to reset the balance of nature and we're finally starting to see the fruit of our efforts. We unearth worms when we dig and we are seeing more and more birds and beneficial insects in the gardens. The soil is also starting to improve after years and years of hard work amending it with all kinds of organic compost.
