Embarassing fact about me: since I grew up in Mexico nobody ever taught me how to recycle. I know it SEEMS straight-forward, but I don't get why I can't put styrofoam or certain plastics but not others in there. I tried for awhile when I dated some psycho would-call-me-names-if-I-didn't-recycle ****...

Because it's going well!!! :) It's all fermenting and nothing's exploded and I might've licked myself some peach that came out of the jug when I took the cap off and it was delicious.

Purple! I love purple.

Tell me how it goes!

Oh MAN you need to come to MY house. My fiancee and I started a little basil plot of 6 seedlings and then I grabbed 4 variety pack types (red, sweet green, spicy red and lemon).... well I didn't go back to his house (this was before we moved in together) for a few weeks and when I came back they wer...

Honestly, you might need help. My fiancee's Mother is disabled and we're helping her start her old veggie patch back up. We've set her up on an automatic 4 wheeler (bad ankles, can't use clutch) with a trailer he made attached to the back. The farm is four hours away so I've started seedlings here. ...

I TOLD YOU GUYS! You all said it'd be fine. :P But noooo, now I need to losen the top! See, see... SPLODEY.

I just losened the top and the yeast almost bubbled out. EEEK. I had to tighten it back and losen it again and tighten it again... like a shaken up soda.

No I'm not! D: I saw them at the shops but thought they were for beer.

Here's a photo of what I have:

I had the same problem with Lola digging outside at the edges.
