We have to work Monday so we're celebrating all weekend. I have seedlings to transplant, compost tea brewing that should be ready and LOTS of wildflowers to transplant.
The small bed in the front yard has been clear of old bushes to make way for beneficial, bee-friendly plants.

What are you doing to celebrate Earth day?
Super excited to have found you through the hop today...I just planted my first veggies yesterday! Definitely not a green thumb so here's hoping!!!! I am hosting today at http://www.frugalfitfamily.com - I would love it if you could swing by and share!
ReplyDeleteI love gardening! I haven't really done anything to celebrate Earth Day. Maybe I should, we all need to be aware of protecting our resources.
ReplyDeleteGreat ideas Mary! I just posted about a gardening fail, and we're going to an Earth Day celebration on Sunday, but that's about it! We're avid recyclers though!
ReplyDeleteThese are great ideas, thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteI'm going to celebrate by avoiding housework. Nature abhors a vacuum, right? ;-)
ReplyDelete(Stopping by from Farm Girl Friday!)
We love Earth Day! I'll be out in the garden, appreciating the bees and butterflies.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you are a busy girl. I have never celebrated Earth Day, maybe it is time to start. There is plenty to do out doors, and I do need to get some bushes out so I can put some herbs there.
ReplyDeletemy toddler and I are making pine cone bird feeders and decorated trees with nesting material! It's still too early for any gardening here, but the snowdrops have just popped up in time for Earth Day
ReplyDeleteThe motto at our house is 'Earth Day is every day!' Hope you had an earthy day!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this on The Creative HomeAcre Hop!
Hope to see you again today. :)
