I have to get to mowing my lawn soon. I think this will be the first time in April I've ever mowed it. All the trees are blooming and leafing out about 2-3 weeks ahead of normal too.Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-35887349345877233492010-04-24T00:16:06.516-04:002010-04-24T00:16:06.516-04:00Happy Earth Day Daphne.

We are far too far from anything to consider biking or walking for services. Instead, we try to have "no drive" days where we just leave the car parked and do things close to (or at) home.kitsapFGhttp://www.modernvictorygarden.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-1978161081296214562010-04-23T14:31:27.255-04:002010-04-23T14:31:27.255-04:00Ottawa Gardener, I'm sure a few more got on th...Ottawa Gardener, I'm sure a few more got on the bandwagon. Earth day and gardening seem to go hand in hand.<br /><br />Kate and Crew, wow 6. I know a lot of those that like to vegetable garden have land, which means not close to the city. <br /><br />Thomas, I hope so.<br /><br />Roasted Garlicious, I've never tried oyster shell. I've tried crushed eggshells and I've tried DE. Neither work all that well. I think I have armored slugs.Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-1632889112622841052010-04-23T13:57:20.056-04:002010-04-23T13:57:20.056-04:00happy belated Earth Day... mind you everyday shoul...happy belated Earth Day... mind you everyday should be ;) instead of Sluggo have you tried oyster shell? Oyster shell which is semi ground for poultry ( to harden eggshells) it's a great deterent for them! no snail or slug in it's right mind would dare cross over a line of shell... would be akin to walking over shards of glass... the shell is also a great source of calcium for the garden... <br />as for the car issue... i live out of town and have to drive unfortunately.. i do try and plan a a circle route so i can get everything done without added usage...Roasted Garlicioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07556028794687730410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-72901325505228301772010-04-22T23:06:37.259-04:002010-04-22T23:06:37.259-04:00Happy Earth Day Daphne!

I guess ours would be good at the moment though it will soon drop percipitiously unless we find some miracle property bordering a village. <br /><br />Happy Earth Day to you too! I was looking for garden bloggers that were earth day posting. You're the second to mention it (my list is long).Ottawa Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14486499450332482461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-3436863192633424882010-04-22T12:21:12.014-04:002010-04-22T12:21:12.014-04:00Lzyjo, can you even have a zero score? Wow that is...Lzyjo, can you even have a zero score? Wow that is bad. My mom probably has a zero at her house (she lives in the mountains in Colorado) and she doesn't drive either. She is good at getting rides from neighbors and walks the two miles to the bus to town often enough. I remember when the bus went in. It made our life so much easier.<br /><br />The Mom, it is hard when it is all so far away. <br /><br />DH, What hubby commenting! But you are right, we do need a bagel place. I like how you are trying to get someone to open one on the blog. You couldn't convince me so maybe one of my readers will want to do it. I can't believe we will have four pizza places within a few blocks and no bagels at all. We eat bagels every week, but pizza very rarely. OK so come on readers. Surely one of you wants to open up a bagel place by us. The local mom and pop Arlington one closed a few years ago (the kids wouldn't take over the business) and nothing has come in to take its place.Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-70583982149188279262010-04-22T12:07:51.292-04:002010-04-22T12:07:51.292-04:00With respect to walkability, what is really missin...With respect to walkability, what is really missing is a bagel place (like a Brueggers, with WiFi) that is close. That said, there are plenty of available commercial sites so if anyone wants to open up a bagel place in East Arlington, we promise to frequent.Hubbynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-19640419618546865242010-04-22T10:58:26.405-04:002010-04-22T10:58:26.405-04:00What a great new house.

We're about 1.5 miles from the nearest shopping, but that includes 2 big hills and very little sidewalk. Every year I say that I'll walk to town more, but it never seems to happen.The Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15070310346205563561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-35364266250999638722010-04-22T10:47:53.146-04:002010-04-22T10:47:53.146-04:00Happy Earth Day!
