Knitting, Sci-fi and other stuff...

    Just a quick update from me today.  Either my allergies are really kicking my butt or I caught whatever cold my son had.  My sinuses are plugged and I have a horrible headache.  I spent time outside a couple days in a row, so who knows.  I bought some plants on Thursday.  An eggplant, a couple zucchini, three peppers, a spaghetti squash and two more tomatoes.  I planted them Friday and then did some weeding yesterday and also strung up a line for the peas which are getting tall enough to flop over.  We also planted the lilac suckers I had taken from my parents house.  I'll have to take some pictures once the garden grows a little more.     I finally got around to trying on and taking a picture of my one  Shorty Heel Tab Sock .  It fits very well.  I'm really happy with how it turned out. I decided to knit a  Clean Hen Manou  for my second dishcloth.  I nearly did the whole thing in one sitting....

     Oops, looks like three weeks have gone by.  I've been very busy with work, my second job, outside tasks and some knitting, so it's not all bad.  It turns out planting my garden Mother's day was a bad idea.  Very few things actually came up.  I replanted the cucumbers, watermelons, zucchini, eggplant, and beans last weekend.  The lettuce and peas came up pretty decently.  I planted more of those, since I spaced out the peas too far and only one of the three varieties of lettuce grew.  I didn't replant the onions, I'll put pepper plants there if I ever manage to buy some.  The tomatoes are still alive and blooming.  It keeps raining here nearly everyday so if they pollinate and actually bear fruit it'll be a miracle.  I don't thinks it's going to be a good garden year, but oh well.  It's still fun seeing something grow.      My new second job is going well.  I worked my first 24hour shift yeste...
