2 of our cucumbers were big enough to be able to harvest! We were super excited about this and the boys each were able to harvest their own cucumber! They immediately took them and chopped them up so everyone could taste the fruits of our labor! Then my Lady took them and made pickles... I am interested to see how those come out!
I am seeing tons of flowers on the tomato plants and cant wait till we can harvest our first tomatoes!!
I am getting so many cucumbers all of a sudden!! Im impatiently waiting for my tomatoes to do the same...
I had a really hard time filming this video! It was just so loud outside this day!! Plus the kids were interrupting me like crazy... One of them poured water out of a second floor window, which then spilled all over me!!
I set up a new trash can style flow through worm bin so that I could have a prettier and more efficient way to create worm castings. I cut a hole in the bottom of the back of the trash can and drilled some holes a few inches above it. I used zip ties to weave through the holes for the contents to sit on top of.
I then used a piece of cardboard to line the bottom for the bedding to sit on top of. I added some of the contents from the other box along with some of the worms and some leftovers for them to feed on. I then topped with some newspaper and there you have it!!
So now whenever one of the kids has leftovers they can just toss them in there as if they were throwing away trash normally.
Since I added the 1,000 worms I have TONS more castings in my bins and they are going through everything very fast! I am happy about that because I will be able to harvest some soon and add to my containers.
I will be interested in seeing how much food waste I can process with this system.
I am not sure how well I will be able to keep up with them now!!
We have had some amazing growth in our garden!! The Cucumbers are looking great and getting bigger everyday! Everything is growing very well and I am so excited about it!
I recently did this set and I love it!! I used Paua Shell and blue, aqua, and silver glitter. I absolutely love the iridescence of the Paua Shell! It is so pretty and unique,
I encapsulated the shell pieces in clear acrylic and then surrounded by the different glitters. I then capped the entire thing in clear acrylic.
I think my technique was the best yet on this set! I got the shape pretty good and didn't have to go crazy filing.
I definitely need to practice more on my fake hand and try out new things. I want to try the aquarium nail (Once I get some clear tips), since it is so popular right now.
My next set. I am definitely going to do some red bottoms and some sculpted flowers!! I have pigments coming in the mail and I am super exited!!
