summer gardening

If you haven't started your seeds. you'll have to buy plants or have a late harvest. i started mine nice and early. i have already moved them out side into there greenhouse of sorts.  and the are loving all the extra sunlight ( they didn't get much in the house just from the window and one grow light. it just wasn't enough) 

it's not too early to plant cold weather crops like broccoli, or your root vegetables. i have already planted my garlic, some chives, and some other plants that i have protected with a make-shift greenhouse.

i always like spring. green grass, new flowers, great weather, and the sun. as soon as the birds came back i knew that spring was on its way.

i can still think of at least 10 more things i would like to grow. so we have planned an organic garden. with raised garden beds. we located the beds out in the back 40. aka in the back .... way back of the property. so it would be unreachable with any hose. need less to say we have been thinking about a relocation program for the garden. maybe into the witness protection program. some where we err. i  could reach it with the hose.

i like the idea of having the garden right out the back door. i'll see what terry says.

A tisket, a tasket, a biscuit basket.

This is the basket that i made tyler for his Easter basket.

hopefully next year i will be growing my own willow to use for making baskets.

time will tell.

recent tatting

this first one is crochet. but this is my first attempt at making a hanky.

this is the first tatted hanky, i think they came out really good.

this bookmark was made for a swap. it is the first swap that i have participated in and the idea of getting presents in the mail is great and i can't wait until mine gets here.

i think that i should have a swap. maybe dish cloths or aprons. 

leave a comment for ideas and to sign up for the swap.
