A Day in the Life of Whole Animal Butcher Heather Marold Thomason — Cloc...

This video made me want to join the butchers club..... but..... oh, no! She closed the business..... bummer for me, but she needs to take care of herself, like we all should. What a beautiful job she did with that business though!

Some Long Island homeowners are replacing their lawns with gardens

They aren't "killing" their lawns, they are bringing them to life! I have been doing this for years. I have fruit trees too! The 'day lilies' aren't actually lilies, lilies are poisonous, but the day lilies are edible, the whole plant is.... and they come back every year! I just drove out in the country and got a shovel of them, and planted them in my yard and they spread, now I have a few different areas with them. Also, sun chokes are great, they come back every year and are edible. Berries give food, I have strawberries near my gate for anyone who wants some. I also have rhubarb, black berries and raspberries. Look up edible perennials and you can have lots of fun! I also let the milkweed just grow wherever it comes up. I have never used chemical fertilizers or herbicides or pesticides. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ee0mNDNOJHg
