Garden Update

The most exciting update is that I finally was able to buy worms for the compost bin! There seems to be a shortage in my area, but I picked them up when I visited my parents.

I have a lot of affinity for these little guys now. (Sunk cost fallacy and all that.) They immediately went into the compost bin, along with some compost starter and a little water. I'm about to go on vacation for two weeks, so I'll just let them work their magic and start turning the compost after I get back.

I replanted my small collection of shade-preferring succulents, moving most of them from individual pots to a collective bin:

I will do the same for the succulents on the sunny patio, as well.

Veggie update -- the peas are close to escaping their pen:

I'm about to pinch the tips of the middle plant, and will let the other two spread outwards for a while longer.
