Progress

I am spending more time gardening and watering my vegetable garden. I have to admit that my harvest in the past just feeds the four of us.  ( One meal !)   Deer and slugs are getting a healthy meal from my garden way before I get my hands on it. I always admire the ads for gardeners picking chunky and meaty tomatoes. That never happened to me, so I decided to have two plots right outside my front door.


Kitchen gardens!
I call it my humble vegetable plot.


The flower boxes were done, sunflower seeds went into the ground where I had space and after tilting a big patch for potatoes every bone in my body was aching.
My hexagon blanket made a big progress and I love what I see so far. All single flower hexagons are crochet together and I am working on my border. I will post my finished retro throw next week.

  2. Once upon a time I could grow tomatoes in my backyard, but the neighboring trees have shaded us out. We do small ones in containers at the front of the house. Not quite the same, but still yummy.

    That throw looks lovely!
