I was so stressed over those darn worms! First they are crawling around like crazy then they disappear into the dirt and I never see them. Did I kill them? Why aren't they crawling on the sides of my tub attempting to escape? Have they all decided to resign them selves to the tub prison? Did they realize that resistance is futile?
I finally decided I didn't care. I put the tub on my porch and just kept tossing in vegetable and fruit scraps. If nothing else, I got a big start on my compost. This morning, there they were. Not crawling on the sides, but crawling through the food. Okay. I am happy they are not dead.
My sister owns a restaurant and I am starting to get lettuce and other fresh vegetable scraps from her. I figure by the time it is time to fill my raised beds I should have some good compost going. Once my buckets are almost full I am going to put manure in them and when I plant the buckets it should be good to go.
We have had a small taste of spring this week. I walked around my yard for a bit and checked out where I will be putting the raised beds. Because I don't really know what amount of sun will be hitting the different parts of my (small) yard, it is hard to gauge until the leaves show up. meanwhile, now I hear we are under a winter storm watch for Sunday and next Friday, we are supposed to get really hit. Booo. Hopefully, after this spring will start for real!
My hydroponic lettuce/spinach/kale in the basement is just about ready to start harvesting. I also have some microgreens growing in my living room. My friends are starting to call me a hippy. Ah well.
