I've been lucky that it didn't get cold enough right next to the house. I left my fuchsia with buds outside last night and it got down into the 40's! I remember this morning and to check thank god it was alright.Adminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09739039763558923579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-24038278616441990182009-04-19T09:58:00.000-04:002009-04-19T09:58:00.000-04:00perennialgardener, I ought to do that with my blue...perennialgardener, I ought to do that with my blueberries this year.<br /><br />Annie's Granny, actually it is a bit of a joke in my family. I forget everything. If I didn't have a timer, the lights wouldn't get on or off when they were supposed to. I need my timer. I don't have my fan on a timer. I turn it on assuming I'll remember in an hour to turn it off. Four hours later, I'm downstairs and wonder what that sound is.<br /><br />Sue, its nice I have my family well trained with the compost pile. Though we make no coffee grounds, we do have tea bags and other things.<br /><br />Stewart, I'm glad I'm not the only one running out to the garden with a flashlight.<br /><br />Dan coffee grounds grow some fabulous mold too. Yum Yum. I just have to not let them sit in the pail for too long. Use them fast or dry them out for later.<br /><br />Cheryl, I'm hoping for a steady supply. I'm a little worried all get more then I can handle, but I figure worse comes to worse and my back forest will get fertilized.<br /><br />Karen, yes filters are fine. They are basically just paper.<br /><br />Compostings, lol yes sometimes we are all like that. The big issue is if you have enough carbon for a ton of coffee grounds. I think I have plenty of leaves collected from last fall. I'm hoping at least.<br /><br />our friend Ben, It is hard to beat free fertilizer. Nitrogen sources are always my failing in my compost pile since I collect so many leaves. Maybe this year my leaves will have enough to really break down.Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-72808956412587124912009-04-19T09:10:00.000-04:002009-04-19T09:10:00.000-04:00Ha!!!

I had stopped collecting coffee grounds because it always turned the bottom of my compost bucket into a thick layer of mucky stuff. Then after seeing all the people composting grounds separately I got myself a separate container to collect it in.

I have forgotten to turn off the lights two nights in a row (somewhere I have a timer. I should probably use it).
