This week went by at warp speed. It seems like it was just Monday and, blink, here it is Friday already.
Spring is still springing even with a couple of good frosts that we had here this week. I think it helped this bush stay in bloom – although the high winds of yesterday are making it “snow” petals now.
I am itching to get in the garden, but I will settle for taking a stroll through a couple of greenhouses instead. I saw these on Pinterest and we are now reconsidering potatoes again this year. They took up so much garden space last year – potato bags might be the perfect alternative! Have any of you tried them? Good? Bad? Please share!
I also have the urge to Bang Out A Sweater after seeing this on IG and Ravelry yesterday – I may have picked out colors… A lace-weight sweater might be perfect for summer. Who’s in with me??
I hope your Friday is awesome and it ushers in a weekend of perfection.
What a lovely bush – what is it?
An all out new knitting project sounds like fun…I’m also cooking up a new project (quilting) now that I am seeing the tunnel’s end on one! TBC…
Enjoy your weekend (and trip to your LYS?)
Cheers~
I haven’t personally used grow bags but a gardening friend made and has used these for the past couple of years with good results: http://www.instructables.com/id/Tater-Totes-Potato-grow-bags/?ALLSTEPS
She says she got a better yield from bags than she ever did from hills in the garden.(Just keep them away from your neighbors if you try them 🙂
Wow, those potato bags look interesting. Maybe I can grow everything in containers?!?!?
It is supposed to be cold here this weekend–barely above freezing. I’ve had enough of this weather.
I’m ready for SUMMER.
I think that’s bridal wreath, right? Funny that you would post that today after the story about your hedge being hacked down. Love that sweater!
I’ve grown potatoes in bags before. Mixed results. But I think that was more me (and waning interest) than the bags (which worked just fine). At heart, I’m just not a vegetable gardener — much preferring flowers and the Farmers Market!
Now THAT’s a cool sweater. (But I can’t commit to knitting anything new right now. I’ll just cheer you on from the sidelines.)
I fell in love with that cardigan as soon as I saw it and have already ordered the exact same yarn although in a different colour way.
We have used something very similar for potatoes – it worked fine.
I’ve been a silent reader for a while now – really enjoy your blog!
Oh, your photography is always inspiring!
