A couple of years ago I had never heard of Vermiculture before. Today not only do I know Vermiculture means growing worms but I have 3 worm bins with somewhere around 6,000 to 7,000 worms (Eisenia foetida for those in the know) busily digesting all the kitchen garbage I can feed them. If I’m late with the “worm chow” I swear I can hear them chanting “feed me Hank, feed me”.

It's spring time and that means it's time to turn the computer off, turn the cell phone off, take the ear phones out of your ears get outside and start gardening. If you dont have room for a veggie garden in your back yard, or if you live in an apt and cant have a garden, here's a list of Community Gardens in the Portland area.

First there was Rosie the Riveter
Then June Clever, the Beaver’s mom
Mustn’t forget Lady Bird Johnson
All famous wives and devoted mothers
But surely none can compare
With Alice the Aphid

Just a reminder that Wednesday is March 17th. Which as everyone knows is St Patricks day! I've included a photo of my old band playing at "Kell's Irish Pub," which has one of the biggest St Patricks day celebrations on the west coast. It's loud, it's crazy and it started last Friday night and will go on till Wednesday
