Look, I know it isn't even Halloween yet, but I'm getting anxious...

It is time to face the facts- the waning colors of your garden are telling you to bring the bounty indoors: everlasting flowers, dried leaves, fruits, and grasses are a natural way to decorate for the holidays as well as a way to hold onto the last color of the season.

I always feel a little bummed out after the holidays and I am telling you, it has nothing to do with the presents I didn't get. It is the throwing away of the tree, and seeing all of its pine needled cousins littering the roads for weeks after Christmas is over. I don't know about you, but spending $100 bucks on something that I throw out in two weeks just seems like a bad investment.

Is it possible that we will all have green roofs in the future? Solar paneled siding on our houses that hook up our electric cars that we charge overnight? SO much is out there, so much information and what does it all mean? Is this "greening" of the world just going to be the next boom and bust, or are we going to be able to take all of this and translate it to the next generation?

There is a new company in town and they are taking the new wave of vegetable growers and helping them make their vegetable growing dreams come true. Cascaidian Edible Landscapes or eatyouryard.com is a company that can do everything to help you start your vegetable garden.

I would like offer up this chance for anyone that attends GreenDrinks the opportunity to find out more about solar energy and what it can do in the state of Washington for residential and commercial applications. This blog will serve as a conduit for questions, opinions, and simply as a place for people find out more about solar.
