As The Garden Grows


     While Jeff's been busy in his garden, I've kept busy knitting.  Here's my latest Pin-stripe hoodie, a size 6months, with the last of the 5/8" baseball buttons.  Now I'm working on a size 1 hoodie with a navy hood and navy sleeves and a white body and white ribbing.  The buttons have gotten larger, too, 7/8", but that's what I could find.
    Jeff got the new gutter pipe put together.  It still needs the float, tubes and water source but Fanny decided to inspect it anyway.  She decided it's at the right height for her to get a drink if Jeff leaves one of the holes free of a planted bag.  Jeff's thinking of rebuilding the raised boxes this summer but I suggested he replace most of them with the gutter pipes.

   The bush beans are doing well in their landscape fabric bed, but you can't beat the potatoes in the Rubbermaid tubs!  They are all doing well but this is the bushiest!  Jeff is hoping for 10lbs of potatoes per tub.  Wouldn't that be nice?  Just have to wait and see.
