Cassie: The girl who loves worms


This is my housemate Cassie. She loves worms. And who wouldn't? They eat all the household food waste, and turn it into delicious and nutricious castings, which are a lovely organic fertiliser for the garden. We have a worm farm, and it's fun to watch the inhabitants grow bigger, and juicier every day as they eat our rubbish.

Yum!


Here is Pippa, showing her love for the worm. If you look closely, you can the little fellow on her hand.




Today was hot, so we had some spontaneous planting. Here is Cassie again, applying the worm castings to the freshly planted Tomato seedlings. You can also see the broccoli.

I whipper-snipped my garden the other day. Oh goodness me, the power that comes from operating it! I destroyed the long grass I tell you. Is this going to be a gardening blog now?
I'll try and take a picture of the garden my housemates have going. We have spinach and some other stuff growing. We are also getting some chooks soon...

aw, i have chicken envy. we want chooks, but are trying to work out a way so they have enough space and we don't end up keeping them in battery type conditions. free eggs!

and yes, it is a gardening blog now.
