Socks and Gardening

Well , of course I did not get as far as I wanted on my knitting this weekend. I was only able to knit on Sunday. I managed to finish the main part of the sock and have now started the heel. The pattern calls for 26 rows for the heel and I have completed 9 row. Only 15 more rows to go and I can turn my first heel! How exciting!!


As for my skirt, I did not get a chance to work on that, so I will post an update on that in a day or two. Something else exciting I did this weekend was start my garden seeds YAY!!! For those of you who do not know, Colorado has a late planting season. You are to start seeds 8 weeks before they can go in the ground. For Colorado that would be the weekend after mothers day (we still get frost in early may). This year Mother's day is the 10th, so I will put my plants in the ground May 17th, 8 weeks from now.
I will post pictures as they start to grow. In my vegetable garden I planted: onions, peppers, sweet peppers, broccoli, eggplant, green beans, roma tomatoes, beefeater tomatoes, cucumbers, romaine, and two different types of spinach. For my herb garden I planted: rosemary, dill, sage, parsely, caraway seeds, cilantro, oregano, morjam, and thyme. For the first time, this year I am trying something different. I keep buying flowers and those pesky rabbits keep destroying them. So instead, I have planted flower seeds to try to save money. Perrenials I planted are bellflowers, aster,coneflower, daisys,creeping thyme, and yarrow. Annuals I planted were snapdragons, poppys, merigolds, and forget me nots. I plan on planting a bunch of wild flower springs in may as well!
