Compost fixes everything

Finally, finally one of my compost tumblers finished cooking the leaves and weeds, and finally I emptied it. So today I brought over a couple more bags of compost to my community garden plot, and the most important “finally” is that the whole plot has a layer of compost on it. The best part is already the swath of vermicompost is helping.

The sad little turnip sprouts have actually starting growing. They were big even to thin, so I got to eat some turnip microgreens. Fruits are swelling on both tomato plants. The lettuces have even recovered enough to begin to form heads.

More than likely, the lettuces are toying with me, but who knows. Maybe I will harvest some lettuce after all.
