Spending my summer surrounded by fresh fruit and veggies has made me want to try something I have always been afraid of. —Gardening—- even a mini garden. I hate the idea of killing anything, even a plant, but I have had this burning urge…..
So after 6 weeks of babying the soil, here are the results…
On the left is my tomato garden (sans tomatoes) I was originally quite hopeful as the greens just grew and grew, but apparently I am missing the small yellow flowers which indicate the arrival of tomatoes…Julie has confirmed that I have missed my window for tomatoes this year. Argh. On the right, I am vindicated by basil that will soon be ready for picking. Next year I will start earlier. I will not give up.
It’s been serious hat time lately, shows are coming up—things are happening. I really need to pick up the pace. I was actually happy today when a custom hat didn’t fit just so I could have the extra hat in my inventory.
Well time to get back to work. These hats won’t knit themselves…oh and two shows this weekend…
Those are great hats!
You definitely have a green thumb. Basil – YUM!
