What Does Your Garden Grow?
I planted some vegetables earlier this spring, but I am limited to a balcony with planters and dishpans full of soil. Luckily there is LOTS of sun.
I now have 6 little tomatoes growing
these will be BIG tomatoes one day!
I harvested some carrots (they are cool spherical carrots designed to grow in shallow soil–like window boxes). I have some very odd radishes–not quite sure what happened to them, they are long and not really radish shape. My snow peas have been really productive too! I can gather about 5 or 6 peas a day–perfect for a snack right off the vine.
Harvest for Today
For my tour de fleece spinning today I plied the singles from yesterday. I made it 2 ply, but it was still thin and appeared fragile (my singles didn’t have quite enough twist). I then treated the 2 ply like roving, and spun the whole works then chain plied it, so what I have is an accidental 6 ply yarn. We’ll see how that works up.
I am tempted to take a break from spinning so I can try knitting with it!
