He provides all my need - right down to 'earth'.
The scarlet runner bean plants are growing very well in my new vegetable garden. Except there is one problem.
The flowers just fall off and do not bear fruit. I suspect that there is not enough nutrient in the soil, even after many bags of Seal Soil I mixed in, or the dirt is not deep enough to sustain fruit. So I went to my 'compose' and dug out some to fill into the plot. I was amazed, after 15 years of composting, I do not have a lot in there. I have used it a few times, yet for some reason, they went down quickly. I guess with only the two of us, we do not make that much scrapes from our food. So I was thinking if I should give my neighbors a pail each, to save up their scrapes for my compose.
Usually on Saturday, there are fresh fruit and vegetable donated by a store for the students to take home. I never care to take any. Since I was there late to-day, I had a chance to see what was left while trying to clean up. I was overjoy to see I could take home a whole box of vegetable greens to recycle in my compose. Hmmmm......., that is what I will do in the future. My compose bin will be very happy! So will my garden!
To-day, I stayed around at the Centre after ESL class was over. Straightening up the shelves; eating an exotic meal (cow leg soup with pita bread); caught A when he was in a good mood to teach him reading. When we were about to close the Centre. In came a man who said his friend cancelled his wedding for having cold feet in the last minute. He wondered if we can use the food prepared for the banquet. So the few of us went into a frenzy to divided the food and I took home bags and bags of salad green, green beans, a box of rice, fruit and some salmon. I ended up calling my neighbors to come help themselves. They were very happy! We all felt sorry for the 'supposed bride'. But it was a lot of courage for the groom to recognize that he is not ready to give everything he could to his future spouse so it is much better to break her heart now than after. Hey, I think there is something good in him and I am for him. Hope they work things out to the better!
