Autumn Gardening

Sun, 11 Oct 2009 15:47:13 +0000

I’m afraid to say, summer is well and truly gone. My tomato plants have given up the ghost and the strawberries and peppers are soon to join the compost pile. Does this mean that I am turning my back on the garden for the winter? No way! This year I am going to try and [...]

Brighton Bargains!

Sun, 27 Sep 2009 13:37:25 +0000

Yesterday I had a very pleasurable morning wandering around Brighton while my hubby Chris was doing a charity bike ride for the MS Trust. I don’t know Brighton very well, but using the AroundMe iPhone app I discovered there is a market every Saturday morning in the North Laine area, which was only 20 [...]

In Defence of Food by Michael Pollan

Wed, 12 Aug 2009 16:51:05 +0000

This book is about food. Real food. Food that’s come from the ground, not from a factory. It is an exploration of the typical Western diet of processed food that leaves us overfed and yet undernourished at the same time. Our way of eating has changed beyond recognition since the birth of food science and [...]

Green Paint

Sat, 08 Aug 2009 14:15:26 +0000

This is a repost from my blog archive. Enjoy! We have been redecorating recently, and being a bit of a treehugger, naturally I decided to spend some time researching eco-friendly paint options. I discovered that most paint contains something called Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). These are chemicals which can cause indoor air pollution that [...]

Sustainable Gardening Tips

Mon, 01 Jun 2009 19:51:52 +0000

Growing your own veg is undoubtedly better, for you and the planet, than buying them from the supermarket. However, the way you grow your vegetables also has its own effect on the environment. The obvious issue is whether to use chemicals (including fertilizers, weedkillers and pesticides) or whether to go organic. But beyond that, there are [...]

National Vegetarian Week

Tue, 19 May 2009 19:42:01 +0000

Ok, so I’ll start with a confession: I am not a vegetarian. However, I do like to dabble in a bit of veggie cooking now and then, and I am taking babysteps to reduce the amount of meat I eat. My reasons? It is greener, healthier and cheaper. This week is National Vegetarian Week (18 [...]
