As I bought my perennials and vegetables this past weekend I noticed that the prices have gone up a good bit since last year. I was complaining to a guy who works at the garden center and he said that part of it is that the cost of the plastic containers which are made with petroleum has gone up as well as the freight charges.

This got me thinking as I dumped non-recyclable container after container into the trash.

How stupid is this? Adding to the trash stream as I tend to mother earth.

Is this a good new product that someone should invent? These things do not need to be grown in plastic ... cardboard or those moss things are just as good. Isn't anyone thinking about this?

I feel sick about it and vow next year to find a place who does just this. Now of course I tried to start everything by seed last year and it was a monumental failure. Maybe a greenhouse is in my future instead of adding to the greenhouse effect.

And so it goes.
