Harvest getting more bountiful!

Lemon cucumbers,  etc. Worm tea and compost paying off!

Have to remember to turn off old fashioned sprinklers to save any water

Okay, I got the water bill and it was $80 which is much more than what it has been. Time to get an irrigation overhaul. Our sprinkler system has gone out and the hand watering and old fashioned sprinklers aren't working to reduce water usage especially when I'm multi-tasking and forget to turn them off after 10 minutes.  Any suggestions for a local company or person that does irrigation systems? 

Voila!

This lovely little thing has inspired me to make a frittata for breakfast

Not so fast

I thought I had killed my earthworms, and they were doing so well! I've been getting worm tea (a nasty name for the liquid gold that comes from the worms eating all those cantaloupe rinds into paper thin layers) several times a week to add to our organic vegetable garden. Getting worm tea sounds like milking a cow but that's not how it works. Anyways, I had added a bunch of food for these worms of mine and they didn't seem to be eating it. So I dug through trying to find them and couldn't really see many. I added some shredded paper and misted it and within a week they were back in business!  You should see my tomato plant now. It looks like I gave it steroids. Capresse salad anyone?
