iPad madness (part 5)

£85 raised so far...

fund raising may stall for a while whilst The Woolly Brew takes over... and I hunt for other stuff to sell....

garden 2011 - update

mini veg plot

I lost a pea plant to the slugs and the french beans have not done well (too cold and windy perhaps).  But the lettuce is doing well.  The radish is looking good and the carrots are peeping through too.

Cucumber are going great guns!

Cucumber sown 14th April

Courgette sown 18th March

Courgettes have also struggled with the chop and change weather... would have been better to leave them in the conservatory for longer I think... radish are doing well though...

Tomatoes are ok... although I have mixed them up and I'm not entirely sure which are cordon and which are bush...

Still haven't got the cover on the greenhouse... this weekend maybe.

Knitting - cable vest for a baby

A free pattern from naturallycaron finished for Sea Queen day on 11th June.

I only cabled the front (kept the knit and purl pattern only on the back), fudged picking up the stitches around the v-neck (again!) and didnt have the right sized needles...

quite pleased though... I've done three cable projects this year!

Calendar Challenge - June 2011

A rather blank, stark page for June... wonder what it will look like at the end of the month....

I'm using Picasa to upload this and write this post... I've started to shift my files about in readiness for my iPad (£98 raised so far!)

Edited to make the photo bigger and add some links and tags... and why is there a Picasa logo here...
