I used grey water form the kitchen sink on my tomatoes and peppers this year, and will continue to do that. Keeping the faucets in good working order is the smart thing to do. Next project is moving hoses inside so they don't get split over the winter. and socking the outdoor faucets.

In Vermont the internet is a challenge, but I do work from home as often as I can. The days I don't work from home, I commute bu bus and work on the bus.

I've had peppers and tomatoes in pots on my deck all summer. The squirrels and chipmunks got more tomatoes than I did, but the peppers are looking good. I have a garden table on the kitchen deck that has a greenhouse cover, so I'll be planting greens in there for harvest into the winter. I'm also going to create two counter top greenhouses with pots, clear plastic trash bags, and tomato cages for my two Seedsheets - herbs and greens - so I can keep the furry heathen housemates OUT of the green goodness!.

The accumulation is because of not disposing of things during previous moves. Now that a parvo virus, feline panleukopenia has visited, I have to get rid of things that the fosters came in contact with that I cannot disinfect. It's been a great push to start the process - the downstairs bathroom and mudroom are done, upstairs doesn't have much accumulation, so all I really have left is the living space downstairs and I've already got the truck lined up to take everything away! Not accumulating more is going to be easy. I've got more than enough supplies for all the projects I could make and will not add anything to the collection unless I have a) finished a project, or b) need it for a specific project which cannot be finished without it.
