Greek Festival - Maybe; Recycling - Yes

The Greek Festival is going on in Columbia, SC, this weekend and I had really hoped to attend.  I'm not too certain we will get there because our dog has been very sick.  Maybe we will make it though...

Because this blog is not only about Greek food but also about healthy eating and gardening, I will mention to you about a new group we are starting up on GardenWeb under the Exchange Forum - Round Robin groups.  It is called Friends of the Earth: Simple Swaps.  Part of the emphasis about this group is recycling (especially as it relates to gardens) so as we come up with ideas and swap creatively, I will pass along some of the ideas. Obviously with some of the swaps, we will swap seeds.  It's unfortunate so few people save seeds from their plants to use the next year.  In fact, many seeds are hardy enough to survive for several years.  If you don't know what part of the flower head or fruit is the actual seed, you can find information online about how to identify, save, and store seeds.
The gardener in all of us says that if this year was not a good year for gardening, we look forward to next year!
