The meshing was downward for a piece this morning. Mike did what he could, but the occupation seemed to travel amongst our provider. Thank goodness, it wasn't gone for long. We were considering calling inward the National Guard to bargain amongst this disaster. Fortunately, it wasn't necessary. For now, nosotros receive got them on standby.
Everything seemed to accept longer than I idea it would yesterday, as well as and thus it didn't leave of absence a lot of fourth dimension for sewing. I drove into town because a create marketplace position had hanging baskets available at a really reasonable price. Ordinarily, I constitute these myself, but the cost was as well as thus good, I dubiety I could receive got done it myself for whatever less. Besides, mine would receive got been puny inward comparison. Feast your eyes:
These are hanging on either side of our greenhouse window. It ever feels every bit if boundary has officially arrived amongst the hanging of the baskets each year. The regal petunias are really fragrant, as well as the hummingbirds dear them.
While i of my errands was to instruct some potting soil, the baskets took upward pretty much the whole cargo concur of my Jeep Wrangler, as well as and thus I'll instruct the potting position down some other day. Still, I had room to selection upward some annuals. These volition travel planted inward the large pots that occupation our sidewalk. There are marigolds, cyclamen, as well as some regal pincushion form of flowers I haven't seen before. I was looking for some shade lovers, as well as those were shade tolerant. I'll laissez passer on them a essay as well as constitute some of those itty bitties roughly them.
Also, some geraniums. I used to constitute petunias along the sidewalk, but the squirrels swallow them. They are much less fond of the stinky geraniums. Love the flowers. Really non fond of their fragrance.
Toward the dorsum of the icon higher upward is a Lord's Day Gold cherry tomato. The i nosotros planted final twelvemonth was amazingly prolific, i time it recovered from beingness eaten downward to a bloody stump.
Below are vi Super Marzanos. I was looking for Romas, but they didn't receive got any. The Super Marzanos are some other sauce tomato, as well as and thus they'll attain merely fine. We by as well as large instruct mass tomatoes from our farmers during canning season, but I soundless similar growing some inward our greenhouse. We're growing fewer plants this year. We've come upward to the determination that they are also overcrowded inward the greenhouse, as well as we're getting less yield because of it. When I await betwixt the plants, it is dark. They shade i another, as well as and thus we'll laissez passer on them a picayune to a greater extent than room to spread out this twelvemonth as well as encounter how they do.
It was 2:30 past times the fourth dimension I arrived home. After I had everything unloaded, it seemed a picayune also tardily to instruct started planting whatever seeds, as well as and thus I'll attain that today. I receive got plenty potting position down to instruct me started, as well as and thus I'll constitute sunflowers, lettuce, as well as zucchini, as well as instruct that going to travel transplanted later. If there's fourth dimension left, I'll constitute the annuals every bit well. There are soundless to a greater extent than annuals to constitute inward the 3 pots on our patio. The clay pots receive got cracked as well as broken after many years of use, as well as and thus I'll demand to supersede them earlier I'm educate for planting. I looked for pots yesterday, but couldn't notice 3 that matched. Enter Amazon.com (my favorite shopping mall), as well as they should instruct inward tomorrow.
So amongst that all done, I got dorsum to the Pansy Mosaic. It's pretty ho-hum going merely now, but I sewed together ii to a greater extent than four x four sections. Each department takes nigh one-half an hour, as well as amongst xl sections, this volition accept many hours to complete. They're fun to do, however, as well as I tin head to a volume piece I work.
With the meshing downward this morning, I had a picayune extra fourth dimension for my slow-stitching. May's take in is finished now.
Tomorrow I'll instruct started of June's heart.
That's nigh it from me for today. Time to leave of absence as well as constitute those seeds. I imagine I'll receive got companionship inward the greenhouse, but the kitties are suspicious nigh that place. Usually, they'll entirely instruct inward when I'm non there. Then, they'll wing out similar rockets every bit I approach. Clearly, they are upward to no good, but they'll travel past times away on whatever furry critters away.
