I only finally got the plants out to harden off on Wednesday, between our trip, and the ridiculous amount of cold and rain we’ve been getting. Things were definitely starting to get leggy, so I planted out most everything today. The pepper are still inside (I’ll be putting them out for tonight at the
I grabbed this book as a Kindle deal because despite the fact it’s the second in a series, it said it was a stand-alone story. And to a degree, it is – it actually does a good job about giving you just enough detail when past events are mentioned that you know what you need

Pattern: Monteagle Bag by Ann Hahn BuechnerYarn: Quince and Co Willet in the Regatta Colorway (and just a touch of Cascade Ultra Pima in Juniper)Needles: Size 11 Circ and one DPN So I’ve been trying to cut down on my plastic use where I can nip it in the bud from the get go.
I finally got the rest of the seedlings potted up this weekend. I had to bring in the spare light, so I may end up investing in good light number three next year. I also need to look into getting some sort of better tray set up – I’m almost out of room. I
I skipped the gym on Wednesday so I could clean up the side garden – it got away from me in the fall, due to the early snow in November. And it had continued so cool so far this spring that I hadn’t wanted to disturb anything that might be overwintering. But we seem
