how does your garden grow?
it is still alive! somewhat! hehe.. no really, it's great. Only a bunch of squash died.
The tomatoes are doing well, though some (all?) of the roma (?) tomatoes are suffering from Blossom End Rot, making them ugly and gross. I picked one of these round suckers (not Romas) shown on Saturday, and it's waiting on a windowsill.
One of my peppers cleaved itself in a storm last week, so I harvested tons of tiny bell peppers. The storm also hammered the watermelons... hoping they recover a little!
I am fighting cucumber beetles, squash bugs, and some sort of caterpillar on my tomatoes. sigh...
the cucumbers continue to churn out cukes, though the last few have been pretty bitten up by the bugs. I'm hoping they continue a bit still!
Knitwise, I have loads of FOs! It's coming up to craftfair season, so I've been busy busy. Hats and mitts and neckwarmers. merino and angora and soft! Even a shawl! And *finally* my linen tshirt is done! I just need some sunshine and a camera...
