What did you do in the garden today?

[Sally PB]

I worked extra long on this one to get the plaid to match where it counts. It can't match everywhere, that's mathematically impossible.

Awesome. I hope any person you meet who know beans about sewing notices the excellent job you did.

Think I should collect them?

Pick anything that hasn't turned to mush. If it's good, yay, if not, compost or toss to the chickens.

Wash them good before eating.
Are you using Dawn? I keep a spray bottle for the brussle sprouts.
Aphids are a pain in the hiney!

Yes, I am using 1tsp dawn per 32 oz spray bottle, but I never see the small flying black cutter die or dead on the plant like I did with seven.

29 when I got up. I have sunshine today. Pic of sunshine on fall color. Second pic is my nut picker up. I have picked up 10 gallons and hulled them this morning. Got them soaking in a barrel of water to remove some of the black.

Bigger Fish to Fry. My 1926 White has kicked the bobbin shuttle clean out.
Bought burlap to sew grocery bags on her.
Very Frustrating!

I just transplanted these year-old pineapple plants and feel like I am wasting my time. I want to pull them out and plant sweet potatoes. I planted 3 Molokai sweet potato, one long squash and one okra plant on the other side and a comfrey in the middle. The comfrey was turning yellow in the small pot it was in, it just started to turn green in the middle.
The green waste material I put in the 5-gallon compost bucket started to break down. I was able to add more stuff to refill the bucket.

What size container did you have them in before transplanting them? Just curious....

My Red Snapper tomato plants in the middle are more vigorous than the Hossinater tomato plants on the right. I got the seeds from Hoss tools. Both plants have the TYLCV resistance, but the Hossinator is resistant to the Israel strain. The tomato plants on the far left that is out of the picture are from sprouts I found growing in a Princess Yum Yum cherry tomato pot. I am not sure how it will taste, since Princess Yum Yum is a Hybrid.

One-gallon pots, they were struggling, hardly any roots. I have 4 more in 2 gallon pots, that needs to be transplanted.

In the city today, I had 5 'omg, where did you get that?!' comments-one was at the super high end shop while I was hunting for shoes.

So I'll take that as a win.
Didn't find the shoes I wanted, but penny loafers will work, got a pair of those.

Nice! Glad to hear this. What did they say when you told them you made it?
