February 1st-- that's really the start of spring round here. Right now the biggest thing I'm growing is my compost pile. Pictured at left.
The best thing about composting is that you can add all kind of gross stuff and, ta da, you get gorgeous black gold.

Will be spreading compost soon, so I can go from this:

I love the title of the post! Great fun...I can't find my compost heap OR barrel for all the snow here.....
