I've taken a shot at a home garden.  I built a raised garden in a sunny location in my backyard.  I've added the soil and compost and already planted peas, onions, and carrots.  The onions are doing great, the carrots are too new to now if they will work.  The peas will not germinate for some reason.  I began by soaking them overnight and planting.  3 weeks later, nothing.  So I tried just planting minus the soaking.  2 weeks later, nothing.  I will continue to try as my wife loves snap peas.  Wish me luck!

So I am finally getting my co-workers to actually throw their waste paper into my "recycling" bin next to the printer.  But I can't drill it into their heads that not printing useless things in the first place is an even bigger step.  Let's think of the "3-R's" REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE.  I've got them thinking of number 3, but the first, and what I feel is most important is lost on them.

I continue to try, and I hope with diligent yelling ;-) I'll be able to convince them to stop and think before they print something off.
