    Brilliant guys, fully appreciate the effort (I know it is not easy!)
    But when you said "Wrap-Up" I was expecting you to get down with some lyrics:
    Texas team style,
    In Wilmer’s dirt,
    Not a bad pile,
    I take off my shirt!
    Wormbin Legend, beetle damage
    Meg’s mix, did its tricks,
    It wasn’t ruined, I pay you homage
    Padawans with Obi-Wan,
    Bottom of clay,
    Wrap of seran
    Wins the day!

      Hahaha - so awesome, Steve - again, I'm not sure why Jason and I don't run our videos through you first so that they can be much improved.
      I also feel like it's important to say this in a Digwell accent in your head when you read it. I hope everyone is doing that. It makes it even better.
      Thanks so much for all your help this summer Steve! We had some delicious mashed potatoes with meatloaf tonight!
      Cheers, Colleen (and Jason)

      Ali -
      I made mashed potatoes for the meatloaf we have tonight, but there is lots leftover. I might either do a leek and potato or what my sister wants, which is leek, potato and butternut squash. Or I might do both. I could just use the mashed potatoes right in there. Yum! Cheers, Colleen

    You guys certainly put in a ton of work, even though the harvest was eahh, the soil in the bags looks a lot better. That was a jumping worm out of that bag.
    I found 2 immature jumping worms in my leaf mold bin. I think a paper leaf bag that was hanging outside the bin was the culprit. Unfortunately I will not be able to use this years leaf mold for seed starter. I still have enough left that I solarized this spring. Will have to be more diligent with keeping the outside of the bin clear next year.
    Was that end clip a property you guys are looking at? That looked awesome, no HOA, lol.
    One of my sons bought a house in Princeton IL, he is surrounded by big ag on a acre and a half lot. I told him to plant a couple rows of sunflowers around the perimeter of his property to keep pesticide drift out of his garden, would look cool too.

      The lesson learned for me is to abandon cloth pots, they dry out so quickly. I had some chilles growing in them, and even though the chillies like to dry out a bit, they were struggling. I stood the pots in a tray kept topped up with water and they loved it! Never again
