Cheetos

One thing I love about gardening is that you never know what you will uncover, literally.  Today I was turning in some cover crop in the soggy back vegetable rows of the Bastyr University Garden with my coworker, Jen, when we spotted something orange in the soil.  Let me rephrase--not just in the soil, but under the the soil and under the growing cover crop.  Yes, you guessed it, Cheetos!  First of all, what Bastyr student eats Cheetos, let alone buries them in the garden?  Second, those Cheetos must have been there since at least October given their position in the bed.  Through the rain and snow of the Seattle winter, they maintained their shape and were only slightly soggy.

All I have to say is that if the earth can't digest it, you probably can't either.
