~Eco Monday~

My Eco Monday post is all about Free Seeds! As most of us know April 22 is Earth Day! Today as I was shopping at my local Home Depot, I stumbled upun a Free Seeds sign. I know I know, you are thinking I have way too many! I believe you can never have too many seeds!

Here is the sign that sucked me in! Buy 1 packet of seeds and get one free of equal or lesser value.

My lil one loves to get the veggie tale seeds. Since she wasnt with me, I got what I wanted!

Here is some of the seeds I checked out. They didnt have a lot left! I spent about an hour deciding what I wanted!

Here is what I ended up getting!

Artichokes

Pablanos

Bunching Onions

Asparagus long beans (which I never heard of)

Happy Earth Day my friends!

Pumpkins!!!

It is that time of year when Pumpkins are in full force and are everywhere! What will you do with them once they are gutted and made into jack o' lanterns?

Roasting the seeds is a great nutriotional option!

Drying the seeds for next years harvest!

Using the flesh on the inside to make Bread, Cakes, Pie, Muffins and Biscotti!

Decoration for the house, centerpieces for the kitchen table!

Making pumpkin soup using the whole squash!

Mini pumpkins make great candle holders, cut off the stem, make a small hole in the top and place a tealight.

The best part is using whats left in your compost!

By the time you are finished with your pumpkins and following these many ideas, you should have nothing going in to the landfill. Another great way of lowering your carbon footprint!

Happy Recycling!!!
