Forever Young Finis!

OK- Here is the finished yarn- washed and wound into a center pull ball. Today is "Spin Day" for my new friend Rosie and I - she lives on the Eyre Peninsula and I live at the top of the Fleurieu Peninsula...not all that far- 'as the crow flies' but oy! going via manmade roads- it's a 4 hour + trip- so we will not be meeting up to spin...*sigh*... but one day I am sure we will meet! Meanwhile- it will be a weekly 'challenge' to be sure to spin or create SOMETHING yarn-ish! :)
I can't wait to see what we each do...

will post later or tomorrow with the results. :)

I also want to write about the garden and what we are growing at the moment-- or TRYING to grow! Our soil isn't the best and we keep trying to improve it- but wow- it's alot of effort with seemingly little result- we will see.

So far we have:

• Tomatoes- Cherry, Roma, and a big one- called Big Red - I think
• Pumpkins- they are volunteers from the compost - grow pumpkins people- they are so easy!!!!!!!
• Radishes-(from seeds) our first crop- they are about done now- as the leaves are getting awfully prickly to handle. We even got to give some of these to our neighbour! :)
• carrots (from seed)
• celery ( volunteer)
• cucumber ( 5 seedlings have come up!)
• corn ( from seed)
• green beans
• yellow ( wax) beans
• peas
• sunflowers (from seed- the snails are eating them though :( )
• marigolds (from seeds)
• portulaca ( from seeds)
• cleome ( spider flowers) ( from seeds)
• basil
• parsley
• onions (from seed we saved!)
• potatoes ( old ones with sprouts on them)
• zucchini (10 seeds -planted today)

I think that is all for now! lol

Better go before my time runs out on the internet- 4 hours and ZAP! We are off!

We are getting a new ISP soon- AAPT! YAY!

Hope you are well.
