Kuri Sunomono {pickled cucumbers}

The cucumber plants keep producing cucumbers so this week we made Japanese Cucumber Sunomono (pickled cucumber). We even made sunomono pickle sticks (no pic because we ate them all).





It is great seeing the girls try new things. Some are even eating things for the first time!





We also like to munch on plain cucumbers fresh off the vine. Here is Allyssa eating a cucumber for the first time. Yay!

PS: We made fresh squeezed lemonade (lemons not from our garden) with honey too for an afternoon treat.

How much Food Waste? [Voice Thread]

August Adopt a Block 2012

Do you know about Non-Source Point pollution?

Whether you have a stream running through your backyard, business, local school or park, protecting it is a good idea. Many property owners upstream may not realize that what they do on their land impacts other residents and water quality downstream. Every day pollutants such as trash, yard waste (e.g., grass clippings, leaves, prunings, or fruits), paint, construction debris (e.g., stockpiles of soil, sand, or gravel), used motor oil, fertilizers and pesticides, and dog waste reach our urban streams. Trash on stream banks are unsightly and unsanitary for humans and wildlife. Even organic materials such as yard waste are unacceptable to dump along streams banks. When these materials get into the stream cycle, they decompose and eliminate critical, life-giving oxygen from the water. As a result, streams become unsightly and emit foul odors.
