This past weekend was so busy! I woke up today thinking it was Saturday. Sometimes I think I need a weekend to recover from my weekend.
I worked my last shift at my third job yesterday and now plan on using the extra weekend time to garden. We picked up our pallet of cinder blocks for the raised bed on Friday and while I was vending, he started tilling the space up. We had planned to dig down about 8 inches and put the first row of cinder blocks in the hole itself. Unfortunately, he found 3 buried cable lines and a huge tree root that was very shallow and goes diagonally across the entire garden spot.
Fancy was very pleased with the new hole to play in. She was too hot outside and it was nice and cool. The orange cord is the extension cord for the tiller.
We are going to have a container garden again this year instead, while we figure out what we can do to make the raised beds work. It is a huge disappointment for both of us, but the containers worked well last year. We’ll just have to buy a few more bushels of tomatoes to can is all. Hopefully we can get it started soon.
My list hasn’t changed for what I want to grow, just maybe scaled down a bit. Tomatoes, cucumbers, herbs, squash, and peppers.
In crafty news, I did have fun vending this weekend. It was a great workshop and fun people. I wasn’t able to go to the show. I ended up with a migraine and had to stay home. I had a few repeat customers and got good reports on the things that they had previously bought, which is always a good thing.
I also made some new items. The flowers I made a while ago are in the featured picture. I made a set of cute fabric trays with boats. I want to make this into a set of four with a 14 inch tray in there as well. The 10 inch seems a bit too small.
I have a few more cut out to finish and I’m going to post both the flowers and trays on Etsy.
The trays I made for my office are working out well. I want to make a box for my puppets too, but may end up buying one. I haven’t figured out quite what I want to do yet.
Now I have to go finish clearing off the table and make something. I have a whole day to be productive, but so far I’ve just walked the dog and cleared the table. She is currently napping and it’s hard to resist joining her.
