Ah well, since I'm horrible at writing here... hopefully one of these days I'll get better at it, an update!
My fire escape hanging garden is coming along. Some plants are currently living indoors due to erratic weather and others need to be separated into different containers but due to my local store's shortage of all natural potting soil it hasn't happened.
In other news, I spent a bit of time earlier today making yarn out of an old sheet (I'm considering crocheting a small rug or something) and now I'm off to recycle old paper into new beads. All of which will have pictures posted just as soon as I remember to

I meant to post this a bit ago
This is what happens when Mommy gets hooked on Fallout 3 and is forever getting the soundtrack stuck in her head.

Getting Warmer
Well, the city's getting warmer, for the moment, that's really all anyone can say isn't it.. three days from now it might snow again but yesterday was just lovely.
Anyway, the warmth has me thinking about restarting old projects and working on new ones, things I've wanted to do but wasn't sure how.
first things first, restarting my compost, remembering to keep two things in mind. 1. if I go on a grapefruit binge I simply cannot compost it all without poisoning my worms 2. veggie matter goes in the BOTTOM of the bin, such a simple direction but when one is in the middle of cooking it doesn't always happen that way and then come the fruit flies (EWWW)
The big project this year is planting, I haven't given up all hope for my window garden but I do know that until I figure out how to get it to work properly I'm just going to keep throwing funds at it senselessly... That being said i want to make a fire escape garden, it's illegal if it blocks the way at all, and I fear for the well being of my plants as the fire escape is the smoking section for my apartment and sometimes there are quite a few people out there. SO... hanging planters from the side of the railing, I think it's the way to go. I'll be posting as I figure it out but the plan so far consists of wire, plastic bottles and that weird organic fertilizer with blood in it to keep the rodents and birds away. Isn't that strange? I don't think I'd have thought of blood as a deterrent for rodents.
