Gardening

 Gosh, I'm really impressed with this new toy. Check it out!

I can actually enjoy some fresh basil today with some tomatoes for lunch today.

I had mentioned how scrawny my neighbour's plants were looking. I think it was because he had never fertilized them. Well, check them out now!

 

When I transplanted them, I seriously thought they were not going to make it. Hence why there are somewhat crowded. Heck, there's a tomato plant in the middle. That plant was barely 3 inches when I transplanted it back in mid July. The Thai basil (top) smells wonderful!

I'm loving my new aeroGarden toy! I can actually start seedlings for a future in-ground garden. How cool is that?!

Thanks for stopping by! Catch you all later!

Farmer's Market

 I have now switched to working from home. I had avoided this for quite some time. I figured, working at the office would get me out of the house. But, I will admit, I am enjoying working from home. 

Because I am such a home body (what can I say I'm comfortable in my home ... it's so peaceful and there's so much to do) I have to plan outings. So ... on Saturday, I went to the Farmer's Market. It was nice to get out ... it was such a gorgeous day. 

Bought lots of locally grown organic vegetables and treated myself to a bouquet of flowers from Mossbrook Roots Flower Farm. Who knew we had a flower farm in our area.

They included Thai Basil in the bouquet, it smells so lovely!

I do hope you are taking the time to enjoy the outdoors. We have had such a lovely summer here in way upstate NY.

Thanks for stopping by. Catch you all later.

Knitting Away!

Remember this knitting project? I blogged about it here over a year ago! Sigh!

 In a prior post, I mentioned how I finally figured out how to work a German Short row. OMG, I don't understand why I couldn't figure it out earlier. Easy peazy! I'm telling you, Covid 19 kicked my butt .... my brain did not seem to work properly. But, I think my brain is back on track! lol

Voila! The pattern is called No Frills Sweater by PetiteKnit. You can find it here on Ravelry

I have not blocked it. I want Pumpkin to try it on to see if she likes the length and if the sleeves are fine. I had to remove over 2 inches from the body length. OMG, it was so long. They called for a length of 19 3/4"! I found that much too long. It is "suppose" to be a camping sweater!

Hope you are all well. Thanks for stopping by! Catch you all later! Cheers!

Gardening!

Indoor that is. My next door neighbour gave me his AeroGarden - he obtained it early this year. He said it wasn't his thing ... his exact words, "I'm scared of it". Wow, sure I'll take it. 

I cleaned it out and ordered the Italian Herb Garden kit. I thought I'd start with something simple, herbs. 

Nine day's later, this is what the seedlings look like.

If you enjoy gardening, it's a neat gadget. It has an app that lets you know when to fertilized and when the water is low. I programmed the light to be on from 4am to 7pm. That schedule works for me.

He had started some plants back in January that were not doing so well. So, scrawny! I don't know if they'll make it. I decided to plant those outside, in a container. What do I have to loose? I'll keep you posted. 

Thanks for stopping by! Cheers!

Happy 4th!

 Enjoy celebrating with family and friends!
