(someone having a little fun with their garden plot!)
(Our plot, as it appeared recently)
(the first ripening fruit/veggie I have seen!)
(Annie, age 2, walking among the garden plots)
I was finally able to put in some significant time over the past two weeks, finishing putting up the chicken wire, digging rows, building a wigwam for the beans and peas, and of course planting seeds and plants. I know it's silly to be planting seeds in early June but I'm really in experimental mode as this is my first vegetable garden EVER. The kids were sick for about 2 weeks straight and I was getting frustrated at not being able to get to the garden...then I decided we'd just have to do the best we could.
We went to the Flower Bin in Longmont today and bought some strong and healthy vegetable plants to fill up the empty space in our garden. Part of the "deal" in participating in the garden is that I will donate a portion of my produce to community food banks, and I want to make sure we have lots to share! So we got some sweet peppers, broccoli, butternut squash, lettuce and cucumbers, and that should fill up the last few empty rows we have. If not, we still have pumpkin seeds to plant. ;) We're in the midst of three solid days of storms (with heavy winds and hail, at times) so I'm anxious to get out to the garden once the sun returns and see where we stand. Right now it feels like it will be wonderful to get to the point where we just have to water and weed, as it's pretty darn tough to plant with two children (ages 2 and 4) in tow. :)
I'll just share a few things I've finished up in the past few weeks. I have been pretty productive lately. :)
1. Very Hungry Caterpillar Dress and Tshirts -- I am a guest for the June 18th Grand Reopening of Nacho Dipes on Hyena Cart.
2. Newborn Booties for the shop:
3. Silk and merino shawl for myself!
