He said it was like ants on an ant hill, people everywhere trying to get their free compost. I am hoping to go next year and see it for myself :) I too had not heard of the "hardening off" until I found Jonathan putting our seedlings on the deck (and here I thought they would be planted in his boxes and precious mixed soil). Too funny. In my house, I think more of the "hardening off" needs to happen with the plants learning to defend themselves against my children who love to "help" with the gardening :) Jonathan made it out to Just Us at 9am on Mother’s Day and managed to get his (our) 5 bags of compost.

Maybe all the early compost procurers will swoop in and scoop up all the plants, too! The horror! Ack, you’re advertising it!
