We have pets. They live in the basement. The kids love to feed them and care for them!
So, why no names? Mostly because they're hard to tell apart and because there are dozens of 'em!
We have pet worms. OK, maybe they're more like indentured servants. We do give them a nice home and all the food they can eat :) The kids did try to name a few, but then they squirmed away and we're not sure if the ones that they saw again were the same or not...
That said we're looking forward to doing a bit more gardening this summer so we can put to use all the good compost they've made for us!
Our worms came from our good friend Mary who breeds them (HA! She simply has multiple worm bins and as a Master Gardener gives seminars around the area) Our bin is filled with shredded paper from the home office, scrap food waste and some coffee grounds and filters. Definitely not as much coffee grounds and filters as we go through though... that is in another bucket on the back deck waiting to be dumped somewhere else as an outdoor compost area.
Since we're living in a townhouse without any space in which to put an outdoor composter or open pile, I'm still in a battle with myself over the desire to compost the grounds and filters and the reality of having no where to put 'em.
Garden updates to come!
