This week has not been a busy week for my home gardening. As we have had a little rain this week, and it is cool due to us being in winter, I’ve only had to water my avocado and mandarin trees once. All my other plants still sat in nice, moist growing media.

All my new seedlings are growing really, really well, especially my beans. It seems that every time I look out the window, they have grown taller. To some I would probably sound weird when I say I get excited seeing my plants growing well, but it never grows old and always enjoy it.

This week I did buy myself a composting bin. I bought it because I really don’t like throwing kitchen scraps and garden waste into the general waste bin at home, just for it to go to landfill and end up useless . That is such a waste. At least now my kitchen scraps and garden waste can be turned into compost and provide nutrients for all my plants.
