I live in the tropical north of Australia, and have found those plastic bins to be the best thing in the tropics. I stir it up with a garden fork a couple of times a week, and it is always quite hot. I dig the completed compost out of the bottom door a couple of times a year, digging deep into the ground, so that the space if approximately doubled, and the compost that falls down into the hole is full of earthworms and sits there quite happily until I need it. You can see more on my blog www.africanaussie.blogspot.com

Strawberries are starting to blossom and the asparagus is up. Perrenial herbs, bulbs and flowers are thriving despite cold weather this past week. very exciting.

This year we used organic tomato and pepper plants and have seen dramatic differences in health, growth, and fruit.

Had disappointing pea germination so far. :( Lettuces, radishes, turnips and salsify are going great guns, though! :)

during our false spring week, my tulips bolted into bloom and quit - thunk! too fast. lilacs are starting to bloom now, another short spell. nighttime temperatures are back in the 30s, so we're back to a reasonable sweater-weather spring. i hope the fruit hasn't been ruined. the bees were busy.

There is a great video "How to peel a head of garlic in less than ten seconds" that is worth watching. I hate to peel garlic! At least I did!!!

A storm blew our plastic greenhouse away and the snails eat the seedlings that where not frozen by a late night fros and a cold spell... so all is well in France.

We've been having a false spring of sorts here, a week or more of warm/hot weather that got us excited and perhaps planting some things too early. This week is cold and windy, some rain, even snow is predicted again. But lettuce doesn't seem to mind.
