This is an interesting look for a compost bin

May 27, 2010

I opened up my compost bin the other day to dump some stuff in and this is what I found.

I raked up all the loose black sunflower seeds hulls under my bird feeders and dumped them in the compost a couple of weeks ago. I know there were some undisturbed seeds in all those hulls and apparently they’ve all sprouted! I stirred the top of the pile around a bit and discovered that the worms LOVE it! Sunflower seed mulch. Who knew?!

That’s amazing! You are the ultimate green thumb, Leslie.

Leslie,

I picked my first LARGE ripe tomato yesterday! My husband said it was delicious so I’ll have to wait for the next one. We have lots and lots of tiny, tasty tomatoes but I do love the big slicing tomatoes. Here’s to a good summer!!!

I have some Brandywine seedlings if you want a couple. I started them about 6-8 weeks ago !!

Hi Carvill,

I would love a couple of seedlings. Thanks! L
