I am new to vegetable gardening and new to my house. Because of these things, I was not aware of the preparation that would be needed when I wanted to start a garden. Still in it's winter state, a month or so ago, my garden showed no sign of what weeds, trees and other secrets it produced. I might add that these things were produced very quick!

One of the most economical gardening moves I ever made was to join my local horticulture club. For just $12 a year, I get access to great gardening advice, some lovely garden tours, and a list-serv of other gardeners who are not only willing but eager to swap plants with me so we can all save some money.

I got an idea on how to bring a bit of spring indoors while creating an eco-friendly place to rest our colorful eggs when trying to come up with a gardening project for the first graders at our school. I saved a few cardboard egg cartons. I cut the tops off and put… Continue

It’s been a rough year. EcoStiletto.com is still the start-up that could (but can’t yet make any money), and my husband works in a fickle film industry. But I miss the little things that we now go without: Dinners out, guilt-free shopping, a bouquet of flowers on my dining room table. After putting the Barnacle (read: baby) down for a nap on Sunday, I decided to do something about that last item on my do-not-buy list. After raking what seemed like a thousand tons of leaves and clearing out a ba… Continue
