In the Garden

Scout is obsessed with the “wormies”. We got her early into the reuse and recycle philosophy – we have a small food scraps bin on the kitchen bench and she is really good at putting her food scraps (alas, mainly veges) into the bin to “feed the wormies”.

Pay day is when mummy or daddy take her out to the compost bin/worm farm to feed the wormies. And sometimes the two mice that live in our neighbour’s shed. There are hundreds of the little critters (worms that is, not mice) and Scout is obsessed with them. Heaven forbid we buy her a pony.

Now we just have to figure out how to instill in her the philosophy of not letting litres of water go down the plughole while she’s fartarsing around brushing her teeth…

1. Trust me when I say that the wormies don’t enjoy 40 degrees summers. Ours all died. Hopefully some escaped though.

2. Wormies are in coolest corner of south-facing backyard so hopefully wormies will survive…
