So now we are off with a ‘hiss and a roar’!

Or should I say....the others are off with a hiss and a roar, I again was in Hosp (very convenient, but who am I to complain!) As soon as I was out I made sure I was at the second major push and to be shown all the work that had already been done! (Didn’t look like enough to me but did make sure I ooooohhhhhh and Aaaaaahhhhed at the appropriate points!)
They had WEEDED! YAY, mind you have you seen the size of this venture? Maybe I should be way more appreciative of ground gained!
Also a compost heap has been started; this actually makes sense to me! Ok saves on compost and also recycles food waste right? WRONG! Something that makes that much sense has to have a flaw in it (just to keep me on my toes!) No the food waste goes to the pigs! The WEEDS go in the compost!
So to be clear on this, we spend hours ‘weeding’ to get these annoying (looks like veggies anyway to me but apparently not) plants out of the garden, to only let them rot, so we can add them again later! Like we don’t have enough weeds without adding more, but again.......who am I to point out the obvious?
I also made the (stupid?) mistake of pointing out this flaw in the compost plan to Liz (Garden guru) to actually have a lesson.....it went something like this:
“Weeds go in compost ......blah blah yada yada.........hot.....blah blah yada yada............breaks down..........yada yada blah blah...........kills seeds...........yada yada blah.......making safe to use as compost!”
Thanks for the lesson Liz, but maybe next time I should get another KGB (or three?) first!
