Welcome

This is the chronicle of our journey through the 21st century and our exploration and implementation of a greener lifestyle for our family. We are a family of four humans in suburban St Louis, Missouri, USA. We have always been Earth-conscious but have become even more aware recently of all of the things we can be doing to not only leave a smaller carbon footprint behind but to also increase our sustainable use of our land and resources to work and live in harmony with the earth and so have decided to embark on this journey to change our lives in many of those ways.

Red Winter Wheat

Triticale

Winter Rye

Hairy Vetch

Leftover Tomatoes for the animals

Mint & an Azalea
Wow...it has been along time since I updated....I guess school happened!

We finished off the growing season just last week with our first freeze and up until then we had tomatoes and tomatillas still sprouting!  That's what happens around these parts when you plant late...you keep getting crops! 

In the meantime we have composted all of the vegetation and replanted for winter/spring crops that will help replenish the things that were depleted over the summer.  we also planted a ton of bulbs around the front yard, I kinda went a bit crazy!  And then....I decided we needed fruit too.

Lots of fruit....sooooo...we now have two apple trees, two grape vines, two blackberry bushes, three strawberry bushes, four raspberry bushes and six blueberry bushes...plus the mulberry bushes that are scattered all over the yard......:D:D:D
