I started off the day hanging a new clothesline. Needless to say I became frustrated with all the clothespins hitting the ground in between hanging up loads of wash. Decided I needed a bag to put them all in! I searched out patterns on the web but eventually just decided to go with my own ideas of what would work for me.
Just need to crochet alittle more and add a child size clothes hanger to keep it on the line while hanging laundry out. No more dropped pins! Yay!!
While outside I tried to capture some of the beautiful dark pink and cream columbine flowers in bloom.
When I look at these flowers they bring to mind whimsical, fairies, elves and little gnomes . Speaking of these there is a class offered next month at our library for making your own Fairy Garden. Of course I signed up to participate. I can't wait to start.
My cucumbers are growing nicely for the time being. I had to plant by seed this year as the garden centers were plum out of them the day I decided to try my had at a small garden. I am glad they have sprouted and begun to grow!
I have six tomato plants in the ground that are growing very tall quickly. Soon as the humidity set in this past week after all the rains they shot up. Only one plant had two small flowers so far.
This is my potted tomato plant. It is really doing well. Nice full leaves and has three flowers already. I had to stake this plant up as it was sprawling out over the pot. It is so bushy I can't get the cage to fit down in the pot correctly. I will have to monitor and adjust the stake as it grows taller and taller.
I'm very happy with this first time success of actually getting the plants to take off growing. I forgot to take a photo of the pitiful jalapeno pepper plants. After the bad storm last week that took out our tree, the poor pepper plants need TLC if they are going to make it. I also need to photo the radishes they are doing wonderful and I love the sight of their foliage!
