They seem a bit crowded. We really did dump all kinds of seed on the soil. Next time I would choose seeds that germinate at the same rate, perhaps a salad mix and I would be a little more deliberate spreading them over the soil. I will keep you updated as they grow. That is exciting you are growing artichokes! Sarah Hi Jamie, My micro greens are just coming up. They seem a bit crowded. We really did dump all kinds of seed on the soil.

We are thinking of starting a few trays (we're running the lights for the dozen or so artichokes that we started earlier this month anyway, so we may as well take advantage of the expended energy by growing indoor micro greens). Would you do anything differently? Love your blog; we live in Vermont too and can't wait to start up the greenhouse (usually mid-March). Jamie Sarah– how is your experiment with micro greens coming?

If your temperatures are cold enough to use a bucket, a lid will keep the critters out. Some people keep their compostable food scraps in the freezer until spring or if you have a basement you can bring the ComposTumbler inside and continue composting throughout the winter. Composting will not occur below 40 degrees. Good luck!

I live in the Washington DC metro area and love hearing and seeing what’s happening out in the county through you. I have a Compost Tumbler, which is how I found out about your blog. I am not using it this winter because it is cooking the leavings from the fall. (Is this correct?) I am intrigued by your bucket in the garage idea, but would this work for me when I got rats before I got the Tumbler due to openly composting in my yard. I hate throwing compostable items in the trash, but don’t know what else to do. What are your thoughts? Thanks, Anne Sarah, I love your blogs!

I am drinking my morning tea and began to read about your daily doings and I felt like I was beginning a wonderful book, a look into your lovely life and I was hoping to spend sometime walking through the joys and sorrows and wonders of your days, I thought how lovely these writings are and how awesome your life must be and as quickly as I began to read and nestle in, is as quick as your soup was calling. And so I just want to Thank You for that wonderful time sharing in your life with your words and your pictures, and I hope to again begin my day with a cup of tea and the delights of your days.
