Agriculture Report

Things are looking up somewhat in the garden! We got some nice rain yesterday and overnight, so this is the first day I haven’t had to water in quite a while.

The vegetable boxes are all doing pretty well, though not entirely to plan. But that is OK! We have a lot of green tomatoes, so will probably be buried in them shortly. There are a lot of vines and flowers going on in the pumpkin box, but I don’t see any actual pumpkins yet. So I guess we will see on that.

The flowers at the front of the house are a little sad this year, but what’s there is still pretty.

And finally the big news! The grape vines we planted last year have one (1) bunch of grapes on them, and the apple tree from last year has two (2) apples! We were honestly not expected anything from them for a couple more years, so it’s a happy surprise.

How about you? If you are gardening this year, how is that going?

Almost to Spring!

It’s that time of year again where we are aaaaalmost, but not entirely, to spring. I’m itching to get some veggies and flowers planted, but we aren’t quite there yet. It’s still hovering around freezing a few nights a week, so we wait. In the meantime though: We did get a few hanging baskets for the front porch just to get a little color going! We have to bring them in some nights, but it’s worth it. How about where you are? Has spring sprung, or are you waiting too?

Disco Babushka Done!

Image
My disco babushka is done! Overall, a quick and easy knit, and lots of fun. You could easily do this without the sequins if you are bling-averse, but they are easy and fun to add. The pattern is Dotty Disco by Olga Buraya-Kefelian, and the yarn is Ewetopia’s Silk and Mohair in the color Vintage Jar. I just got the sequins from Amazon, and they worked fine. I have also been working a lot on a Christmas present project that I cannot share quite yet. However, we are going on a few holiday adventures in the near future, so should have something to share. I am working on catching up with blog reading – so sorry to have fallen behind on reading everyone’s posts! How are you all doing? What are you working on right now?
