There’s something incredibly satisfying about seeing my compost nation thriving with lots of worms and rich, dark compost. It’s nature’s way of recycling kitchen scraps into something magical for the garden. Composting is such a fantastic way to create a miniature, sustainable veggie patch no matter where you are, and it’s amazing to see how much it contributes to healthy plant growth.

The herbs in the garden have also taken off spectacularly! Thyme, oregano, lemon thyme, parsley, mint, and sage are all doing beautifully. Their fragrances are delightful, completely masking any smells that might come from the compost itself. The lemon thyme, in particular, smells so fresh and vibrant—I can already imagine it on a pizza or sprinkled over my tomato seedlings as they continue to grow.

This balance between composting and herb cultivation has really brought my garden to life, creating a closed loop of sustainability. Kitchen scraps get reused, the soil is nourished, and the plants thrive. It’s a lovely reminder of how interconnected nature is and how small efforts can yield big results.

Here’s to keeping the compost pile going strong and to many more harvests of fresh, home-grown herbs!

Happy gardening and composting!
