For anyone starting their own vegetable garden this year I'd like to recommend a new book called "The All You Can Eat Gardening Handbook." It's a Canadian book (the author lives in Eastern Ontario) and it is refreshing in that it isn't the least bit intimidating.... just lots of good basic advice about organic vegetable gardening. Available here; www.aztext.com

These look so interesting! Even though a wedding is not in my future, I did find it interesting there's a book on planning a green one. I want to add another book to the list, a fabulous resource green living and protecting ourselves from toxic chemicals. It's Super Natural Home by Beth Greer, who's an award-winning journalist and holistic health advocate. One of the things I really like about this book is that in the various sections, she provides alternatives to the way things are now. It's typically "3 ways to make a shift." For example, in talking about chemicals in food containers, she advises buying spaghetti sauce in glass bottles. It's a great, straightfoward and SOLUTIONS-based approach to the topic.
