I don’t exactly know when this happened, but I discovered it at 5:45pm today, and it wasn’t like that at 4pm when I left for the post office. We’ve had three days of pretty steady rain, and the wind has been rather gusty today, so I guess this is what can happen. We’re pretty lucky it fell in the direction it did — that tree was right next to power lines! On the plus side, now we can scratch “Chop down old dead tree” off...

Today was a good Bloom Day. The weather was beautiful, and we actually had a few different blooms. Spring might just finally be here to stay.

We have a busy schedule exhibiting at garden shows and Green Festivals, and it’s always fun to travel and meet new people (and say hi to the folks you haven’t seen since last year). I’m excited for spring to arrive. Which it will. Eventually. I hope. I’m also excited to turn 29 this month. Okay, not really. But what I’m excited about today is that I had my Master Gardener...

I’ve wanted a worm bin for a while, but it was never an urgent issue. It’s not as though we don’t have a compost pile. For as long as I can remember, we’ve composted all of our food scraps. In fact, when I was a kid, I didn’t know what a garbage disposal was. I distinctly remember visiting a friend’s house and asking where they kept the compost bucket. The way I understood it, throwing food into the kitchen sink was a BAD thing....
