the zucchini seems to be at the end of its season.
the cucumber is slowing down dramatically.
the eggplant is still going strong, though. thank goodness for that!
i have discovered that broccoli florets are, in fact, flower buds. we were away when our broccoli ripened, and when we got home, we had this lovely yellow bundle of tiny flowers. its pretty, at least.
we bought a cheap compost bin at home depot. its working like a dream. when you touch the sides, you can feel the heat emanating from the inside. every day, the matter inside has shrunk a few inches. i pour in the kitchen compost bin every few days, and then cover up the food material with grass clippings and dry leaves from the pile in the back of the yard. fantastic! it'll be beautiful come spring 2011!
Don't forget to add water from time to time if it's covered.
ReplyDeletewe have been, we'll dump the kitchen compost in, go fill the bucket with water, and pour it on the pile.
