First Tomatoes - Yum!

Scarecrow’s Log: 11:10:2009:

What’s happening in the garden?

We have started to tidy the compost area. Doc got stuck into the pile of tree prunings and sorted which ones he wanted for the Cob Oven or the Rocket Stove.
We resurrected the compost heap and I’ve built a new bed for the compost tumbler.

I’ll be growing Yarrow Achillea millefolium and Comfrey Symphytum officinale underneath and a collection of other composty plants. They will be easier to gather from beneath the tumbler rather than wandering around the garden with a bucket in hand snipping away at the Lucerne Medicago sativa and Dandelions Taraxacum officinale like I had to do that weekend.
