Compost or Not to Compost

 For a few years we have been half heartedly composting.  It very rarely if ever gets turned and I can't tell you the last time I added anything to it because of the poor results we were having.  I did try a compost starter, but perhaps I was expecting miracles and I did get some compost to add to the raised beds last year.  

But this year I have a new plan, yes, red wiggler worms....

 One pound of worms arrived at the end of last week via mail

I divided them up into some trays until it gets a little warmer around here.  I added dirt, greens and coffee grounds to start them growing.   No they don't climb out of the trays. 

Until we see some sunshine and warmer temps these guys are happily living indoors.

But the first warm day the majority will be headed to our composter to hopefully help out our flower beds.  

Warmer weather seems a little slow to arrive this year and as usual I am impatient to get my hands out into the garden.

Summer Breeze Please

Starfish, scallops, mermaids, lobster and crabs. The only thing missing is the warm breeze and some hot sand between the toes.  Although we have had a tease of the weather ahead again today is raw, damp and rainy.  I would guess a perfect day to clean the sewing room up a bit.  




My Etsy shop   The Old Bag and More  is back up and running and I am adding new items weekly.  








Table runners and wall hangings are the plan for these embroidered sea creatures.

Mostly items will be in line with the Cape Cod beachy theme, but as the shop evolves more I  may go in different directions.  

Be sure to check out Etsy and see what's being added!!!!!
