I spent two hours outside today and got all of the tomatos, peppers, cucumbers and herbs set out. I still have 44 little broccoli waiting for my attention, but they look okay in their nursery pots. Good thing, because I won't get them in the dirt until Monday.

I hilled the earth up around my volunteer potato plants, and gave them some compost as well.

I'm just fascinated by compost: one takes garbage and it becomes 'brown gold'. It's wonderful. I will plan to do a whole entry on compost at a later date. Anyone with a patch of yard can (and IMO should) make compost - if nothing else, one can spread it on one's lawn or around one's flowers; it's not just for vegetables.

Lastly, I moved a 'volunteer' pumpkin plant to where I want pumpkins to grow. It didn't look so good, but hopefully, it will perk up tomorrow.

Do I have to build some sort of fancy holder to start a compost bin? How can I get started?
