growth....
May. 3rd, 2016 01:09 pmOur compost bin is oh so wet!! I keep forgetting to balance out with the browns and all the rain and humidity is not helping either, and I forget to tell N and so he has just been adding the scraps. Will get D to cut up some newspaper scraps to add. And there's no stink even though it's so wet. Sure, it's a bit smelly when I mix it but it's temporary and just earthy.
And we were so focused on the lettuce growing we ignored the corriander completely! And the basil grew really well for some time and somehow dried up and I used up the leaves. sigh. But look at the cilantro!!!! It's absolutely delicious!!!
Last night a big storm rolled in!! Oh my! It was spectacular! I have seen and experienced tropical storms in Singapore & Malaysia. But this was even crazier. The winds were super strong!! Definitely gusts must have been well over 40MPH at least! I really thought lettuce would blow off - so I moved it back to the wall of the balcony. I guess I should get a cover for such instances.
