Medication Disposal

While searching out information on the recent recall of children's medications (including Tylenol and Zyrtec which we have in our medicine cabinet) I found a link to this website:

I knew flusing was bad - but thought meds ending in the landfill were equally problematic. I remembered your old post - and will save these for our next hazmat pick-up. I wonder why they don't suggest this?

Hmmm....

Garden Box

My eldest daughter and I recently took an organic gardening class together (at one of our fave local haunts, Green and Greener). The class was geared towards kids - with lots of talk of vermiculture and "oooohs" over the definition of "casings".

The best part for me was the box we got to bring home.



The instructor (John Lyons of The Woven Garden - who is a wonderful teacher)had the kids plant a variety of items - bulbs (shallots), seeds (cat grass), seedlings (pansies) and plants (strawberries) into a wooden wine crate he had procured from a neighborhood restaurant.

The little box has been receiving a lot of TLC and happily growing on our patio. Happy plants - and happy reuse!
