Some veggies I have growing on our front porch. Almost have everything sown, all I have left to do is squash, pepper, and cantaloupe. I will sow the squash tomorrow for sure, gotta get going on those because they are my husband’s favorite thing. I usually do those first and actually thought I’d already sown [...]
This looks pretty cool: Handmade Nation is a documentary about the rise of DIY craft, art and design.http://indiecraftdocumentary.blogspot.com/ This blog entry written by Trula Breckenridge. Thanks for visiting Family Footprint!
I’m going to be in the garden for some hours today. Double-digging and laying compost. It’s on! I love this pink visor, my daughter and her boyfriend got it for me. It’s so cute ^_^ This blog entry written by Trula Breckenridge. Thanks for visiting Family Footprint!
Question: How do you deal with people who don’t care about the environment even though they have college degrees and/or good jobs so should know better? Just because they are college-educated and have good jobs doesn’t mean they know better. Seriously, you’d be surprised how little this is addressed on many college campuses. There is [...]
When my daughter was at the thrift shop the other day someone dropped off a bunch of tomato plants, offering them to anyone! They said they had too many. Nice! This blog entry written by Trula Breckenridge. Thanks for visiting Family Footprint!
My daughter found a sewing machine table at a thrift store for just $10! Here it is all folded in. Enclosed sewing machine is electric, old school. It’s totally cool because we both sew and make stuff; I make reconstructed clothes and my daughter goes to college for fashion design. She makes clothes from scratch [...]

Long dresses or skirts, the longer the better. I make a lot of my skirts. If I wear pants I like baggy pants with a drawstring waist usually. Tops with no sleeves, especially in the summer, or t-shirts or tank tops. In the winter, sweaters. I’m not into jeans much, because with my body shape [...]
Ok I have learned my lesson. Never save seeds in a plastic bag. Seeds need air. Sadness! cause I got these seeds from black beans I grew. Was very excited about growing this years crop of black beans from these seeds. This blog entry written by Trula Breckenridge. Thanks for visiting Family Footprint!
My husband made a delicious appetizer the other day: green and black olives, tomatoes, broccoli, and green onions, in ginger sauce. Very good! This blog entry written by Trula Breckenridge. Thanks for visiting Family Footprint!
Certainly, someone can feel I am implying that by taking the steps I described that they will be free from complicity in what is happening with the environment. I believe that if someone feels this way they will soon drop this way of thinking because once they are on the environmental path, they will begin [...]
My yard is full of ants and they were all in my garden. I had no problems but I have heard other gardeners complain that ants affect their harvest. My compost didn’t have ants in it but it had worms and grubs and snails and pill bugs. Since those creatures live in the dirt anyway [...]
Broccoli and lettuce plants that were on my porch. The temperature dipped a little and killed them. I bought most of the plants in, even the peas which seemed to thrive after the frost. Our last expected frost is May 18th. Then I am going to start getting these in thr ground. This blog entry [...]
