Apparently, I have not been sharing very much. Who knew a month could
go by without me sharing anything. Don't think because I have
not been sharing that I haven't been crafting, because I sure have. Not
to mention the fact that I moved my sewing studio. It's in a WAY better
location however there has been a lot of moving, organizing and purging
going on.
Also, gardening and yard work. Too
many irons in the fire as of late. I am sure you have lots of things
going on as well. We all do! There is always so much to do. I guess it really is
all about what you make time for. Either you can fit it in or you can't.
When I was a child no one planted anything before Memorial Day in this zone because there was usually a frost in May. There hasn't been a frost in My for like forever. The zones have changed, haven't they? This year is the first year I took advantage of that and planted the first week in May. This year I planted okra, kohlrabi, kale, collard greens, tomatoes, the usual herbs- basil, dill and a new one- Thai basil. I cook Thai so I thought I would give it a try. My thyme is very happy in this home of mine. It has come back three years in a row. It was suppose to be annual but I guess it is pretty hardy.
I use to have a pretty large garden but I could not keep up with the weeds so we ended that. Now we have two container type gardens. Its good enough. We have a great public market nearby and lots of farmers around town so there is plenty available, gratefully!
I propagated basil from some hydroponic basil I found at the supermarket. It didn't work as well as I thought it might but I did get two plants out of it.
