So we have been attempting to grow our own cherry tomatoes (Xena calls them cherry tommy plants) with a moderate level of success. We planted seeds that grew into four plants (christened Tommy, Tammy, Timmy and Tom by Xena) and so far we have harvested 3 gorgeous tomatoes, while 3 more are ripening on the plants.
We have also been trying our hand at composting in order to reduce waste and 'create soil' for our tommies. The other day, Xena and I were talking about the Singapore landfill situation and what we can do about it. We tried to think of all the non-recyclable things we throw and whether they can go into our compost bin instead.
Xena - Ooh Mama, can we add cut fingernails to our compost bin??
Me - YES! (Yeah, I had come across this when I was researching composting.)
Xena - Ooh. I have a GREAT idea. Let's have a small box in which all three of us put our nails after we've cut them. Once the box is full, we can add it to our compost pile!
Me - Err... sure! A bit gross but hey, anything for the planet, yeah?
Xena - Yeah! And you know what we can call that box?
Me - Uh... what?
Xena - OUR NAILBOX!
Me - ...
Xena - Like mailbox? NAILBOX. Ha ha ha!
