It's Monday, which means it's time for another installment of Radical Homemaking. This weekend, I transferred my seedlings, which were planted the last week in December, into the raised bed! Everything was a little root bound, so I probably should have transferred them last week. I'm keeping a little harvest journal to refer to next year when I try this again. Here's my veggie patch roll call:
Red Russian Kale
America Spinach
Swiss Chard
Ladybird Nasturtium
Mixed Lettuces
Red Carrotts
I'm excited to see that my compost pile, which I started in September, is beginning to turn and change shape. It's working, it's working! Hopefully I'll have a lovely pile of summer compost made from our kitchen scraps, household and garden waste. Next week, I'll share some photos of my raised beds with winter veggies in their infancy.

Can't wait to see how your garden grows.
Question is your filtered indoor compost container that pot on the counter? I normally just use a plastic container but I like this idea. -Carole
Yes - the red bucket with the top is the filtered compost container and I got it at Cost Plus World Market for 111 dollars. I love it.
