Compost and Cole Slaw

What do those two item have in common? They alliterate. Both of them figured prominently in today's activities.

I've been composting for decades, but I rarely seem to get around to using it for anything. Decided to change that today. Look at this beautiful, rich dirt!

Some of the spaces in the rock garden on the far edge have an awful lot of really heavy clay soil. There are pockets of clay in the sand here. It was a terrible problem when they rebuilt the road in front of the house in 1990. It's a pretty bad problem in a garden too.

Can you see the three spaces that are darker? I mixed that compost in with the clay to lighten it up.

That was all the outside time I managed before things heated up.

But I had bought a cabbage yesterday so I could make cole slaw. However, I did not buy an onion because I thought I had one more than I did, so only half of the cabbage got chopped up for now.

Here's another thing this compost and cole slaw have in common- they are both in round containers and they are both made from natural ingredients.

One feeds me, one feeds the plants. What else?

I'm feeling entirely too sedentery, but it was too hot to function. I watched a movie and did computer stuff most of the day.
