Today was the day! Our first one alone with our new land of opportunity.
Apartment compost, meet the wild insides of the proper backyard bin. Honored, I'm sure.
Top 5 happenings of the day:
- Learned that the goal compost ratio of Carbon : Nitrogen is 30 : 1...and what that means (green stuffs are about 10-20:1 and the thin browns are about 50-70:1). All I know is that our compost actually smells kinda...great!
- 1 stolen survivor heirloom beauty to take home, taste, and decide whether her seeds will make the cut
- Discovered that there is a soil like dirt substance (sort of) under all of those magnolia leaves
- Learning, learning, learning! Nose in the book "The Vegetable Gardener's Bible" - amazing how much info we packed into our brains in just 9 pages! Makes us ravenous for more..
- Thursday morning sounded like...hmmm it would be a good idea to find out if the library has a gardening 101 video or something...10 minutes pass as L changes her clothes for work, once again....a message from Lady Cora, you might want to check out this show on KCET, the Edible Garden http://www.kcet.org/shows/the_edible_garden_breaking_ground/ - ps. it was everything we dreamed it would be, and more :)
- Ok, there's a 6th - we now know why gardeners dress how they do. Umbrellas for hats and canoes for shoes are now on our shopping list.
