wez crafty
Too bad I don't have more time for craftiness.... or sleeping. Or anything, really. But in a spare minute or two, I did get my craft on and made a gardening apron:
I figured it was time to bust out the rick rack (because how often do you get to bust out the rick rack?)
That's about all the craftiness I've been able to get to lately. But P got his crafty on in response to the garden attacks being deployed by the neighborhood menagerie. I tried putting bird netting over the garden, only to end up with a bird under the netting, flapping in the garden. So P came up with this:
It's working out really well thus far-- far fewer animal attacks. Now it's just the bugs, but they aren't yet too too bad. The stuff inside is definitely growing. It's fascinating to see how things grow-- the cucumber plants, which I set up cages and twine and things for them to climb, are very interested in climbing the bird netting....
It's amazing-- I will head to work in the morning, taking a peek before I leave, and when I come back, a vine that wasn't there ten hours before is now there and wrapped around something. The plants now have blossoms on them... so if we get some bees we might have cucumbers.
In the meantime, I was able to harvest the first bits of edibles this morning-- radishes!
We'll be having them with a salad for dinner this evening. Can't wait...
UPDATE: Holy moly-- we had one at dinner and these are the HOTTEST RADISHES EVER. Mouth on FIRE. Maybe I can make wasabi.....
