Victory Garden Foundation: First Ever Best New Garden Biz Award

This morning has started as a lazy day. It's time to take out the week's kitchen scraps to the compost bin. So, I'm thinking about this and I remembered that I had not read the Sunday newspaper - it becomes the next ingredient for the compost bin. Sometimes, the newspaper isn't read but goes straight to the compost bin - such dread is reported too often.

Before I start in the garden, I wanted to connect with my friends on Twitter and Facebook. Now, it's a bit late to be in the garden. The bees are visiting. I like to leave the bees free to roam without my play in the garden.

And, you won't believe who tweeted with some very good news! Compost Cab! Located in Washington DC, this is a venture that picks up compost ingredients and delivers finished compost to the community. How cool is that! Incredible. So today is in honor of Compost Cab! Not only is Compost Cab a garden business inspiration; they are the inspiration for our first ever award.

Thank you Compost Cab for what you do and your inspiration! There should be "Compost Cabs" all over the country. Anyone out there ready to take the challenge? This is a great example of taking the 350 Victory Garden Challenge.

So, now back to our garden composting. Feeding the worms and decaying the food scraps.

What an inspiration.
