Beautiful, isn’t it? Ben (my husband) & I love to garden, and spent about $15 on about seven tomato plants, five chili pepper plants, and some basil which we have lovingly been nurturing for the last three months. And the fruits of our labours? ONE bloomin’ tomato. sigh.

We also started a compost… and seriously reduced the amount of kitchen waste that ended up in our garbage! It’s pretty easy to set up… we bought a cheap rubbish bin, poked some holes in the bottom, added dirt, and dump our kitchen scraps in every day, give it a stir… and voila, compost!!!)  Composting is pretty easy, you can read about how to how to compost here!
