Preparing for the garlic planting in the wee garden

 Thank you all very much for the nice comments from the previous days posting. I really do appreciate it. Yesterday, did a little bit of garden tidy. I moved the larger lavender from the square garden, and 3 smaller plants which grew from seed which are the pink Lavender which were in one pot. Moved them to the very sunny and hot, and I mean rock solid soil. Only the hearty stuff on the south side of the house. I hope they take, and flourish. 

I now have room in the wee square garden for more tomatoes and peppers for next year, and lots more garlic, which will be going in next month. I left one Rose, and the small Rosemary in there.  I have to say that I was not the digger, that would be long & tall my youngest, he did a good job. 

On the crochet front


I'm playing yarn chicken now, so I think it is good enough in it's overall width, I'll be working the border over the next few days.The open boxes are the collor, and the sollid part is the back of the shawl.It will have a picot edging.


Well, Peace to you all today!

I don't crochet, but Wow! You must be efficient - looks like you have a lot done.

Are we not blessed to have strong, willing sons to help us with the more strenuous garden work? I have some major changes I want made in the front garden and we have some sunny days forecast for the beginning of October so...
Although how they can say what October will bring when they are often wrong about the next few days!!

Very pretty shawl colour. You are going to show us the whole shawl when it is done.

God bless.

Hello Faith - just catching up on your posts. That is wonderful news in your last post regarding your son's new jobs. Its always such a relief for us as parents when they find jobs they enjoy. I think your lavender bush will do just fine in the sunny dry soil - they seem to really like the dry & don't need much watering to thrive.

Hope all that you have planted grows well! The shawl is such a beautiful color and the crochet stitch design is very pretty! Cant wait to see it when you are finished

Checking back here and I see my comment made days ago never posted. I wonder what I did wrong. Anyway, I wondered when will you plant your garlic? We used almost all of ours over the summer and will have to buy some for planting. NOT garlic from China.
Do you have a favourite variety?

Faith said...

NO garlic from China. We did purchase some garlic seeds from Amish Country when we were there over the last few days. I purchased the German variety, they are hardneck. They are in today Oct 1. 12 in all. We'll see how much we get back after the critters are done.
