How to clean a greasy stovetop

Did you know that natural soap cleans your kitchen appliances better than detergents?

Dispose food debris and kitchen grease in your compost bin, without all of the toxic fumes or dry hands that result from "cleaning fluids".

Make cleaning your kitchen fun with the Liquid Soap Refill. We are working on a new package that will be easier to use and is compostable. Photos and videos (!!) coming soon.

It's time to work in the garden

My seedlings are getting harden off, so they are strong enough to go into the garden.

I'm getting ready to plant my cabbage and broccoli seedlings. I did a kale experiment last Nov., and planted small seedlings to over Winter and get a head start this year. It worked and I'll be picking baby kale leaves today.

I planted a variety of lettuce and Tatsoi, an Asian spinach, that are all growing nicely.

Get your hands dirty and see if you can grow a salad or a tomato sandwich!
