Sometimes baby kittens are not loved by other cats in the house:
Our compost is getting huge! We took everything out and stirred it up, adding more hay and made a compost stew!Here is Nic hard at work while I document our amazing accomplishment:
We found awesome little guys who are helping us break down the food matter:
a cute slug that was underneath it all:
Also we went ahead and started some flowers just for fun. Nic got mad at me because I dumped out a flower that I didn't know was planted in one of our pots, so I salvaged it in the cambel's soup can upfront there.
These are my favorite:
We also would like to start growing tea plants, but need to research that. I bought an Apple Mint tea plant at the hardware store. It smells really good but I don't think it's quite ready to be brewed into tea yet. We're starting to get a little worried about having the compost in the back because of mosquitos in the summer. We already found hundreds of maggots in our hay, so we moved it and covered it up. If anyone has a solution to killing mosquitos please let me know, because our backyard has standing water and tons of foliage for them to breed, it sucks.
Well have a nice day!
