Chat Noir Books Recycles

We have had a few people ask us if we recycle here at the store and I am proud to say yes we do! Not only do we recycle our paper, plastic and glass waste, but we also recycle our coffee grinds, which are great for the garden!! We also try to reuse our old coffee and drink trays, as long as they are not soiled. Bookstores are also a great place to pick up boxes, for storage or if you're moving. We're also a great place to find bubble wrap and packaging paper.

Great Entertainment

Today's review: Another Sigma Force novel from James Rollins. If you enjoy Clive Cussler this guy is for you! I actually enjoy reading these Sigma novels from time to time. They are great high energy adventures and are very entertaining, no brain strain required. This is another great example from Mr.Rollins.

These were the garden beds in the spring when we first made them.





Here they are now.

Green Thumbs

In unrelated to the store news, we started a veggie garden this year and although we've not had the best growing season we've has some success. We've had so much success with the yellow bush beans that we've stopped eating them every night and are now blanching and freezing them at an alarming rate.




The Kohlrabi has been great, the beets, peas and radishes were all good. The zucchini is just now exploding and the eggplants are growing, hopefully we'll have a warm Sept and we can get a few more from them.




Our carrots have also been great - here are two of them that got a little lovey dovey.

The tomato crop is keeping us in lovely little bite sized heaven. However, it was really just too cold and cloudy for peppers and cucumbers; maybe next year will be warmer. We did get a few hot peppers and some pimentos though. We also planted swiss chard but they really haven't done much of anything. We're still waiting to harvest the potatoes and parsnips but they look good so far.

More photos to come.
