Bulk Bins for Earth Day

I'm big on milestones. New Year's for reflecting and prioritizing, spring for weeding and cleaning out clutter (both literally and metaphorically). So with April being

Growing Beyond the Garden

Relatively speaking, our garden is small. In the past, we've designated two narrow beds in back for vegetables and managed to shoe-horn in a couple dozen vegetable plants. I'll admit to longing, though, for sprawling zucchini and melon vines, and beans that bloomed at a height my daughter could reach without having to sit on Daddy's shoulders.

These days, home is a second-story condo with no yard. Instead, we have a sunny, south-facing balcony and a sizable deck, which means our urban farming must be done in containers. Which is all right by me. Even when I lived in houses with yards, I was still more inclined to garden in containers because I’m horticulturally challenged and lazy.

Stretch Your Food Budget: Use Everything

“Profits are measured in pennies,” one of my culinary school instructors often repeated to remind us of the importance of maximizing our use of ingredients.
