what is the girl to do

with all the scads of samples?currently using them to try out what ifs and other stuff.

 

these are going through a puff paint

experiment. the top one needs more heat gun.

being a fishline knit, one has to proceed carefully with this one.yet it holds a lot of possibilities. am going to work more with the fishline samples.

when proportions are wrong

there's no other way than to unravel and start again. this came out pathetically off. the colors are good but the rest is pitiful ⋋__⋌

the other day there was a discussion on one of the k forums about sharing fups so as not to discourage beginners . everybody lives in a perfect instagram world  and reality does not match it. i've done my share of reality bites here.

this year's crop

this capsicum chinense  was planted too late last season  and being from the tropics it had to overwinter inside. my studio faces east and it has great growing conditions.

look at all these beautiful 

seedlings. there are thai basils

 still tiny yellow tom plants 

on the left and purple passionfruit. 

crossing my fingers on those.

once established they thrive

outside

 

overwuntered jalapeños ,third year plant. i am keeping those pklants longer instead of treating them as annuals. hate to discard all that good genetic information. 

the rains have boosted the eggplants and lettuces.

amazing how they have grown in a week.

rain is an asset, ask the gulf and arabic countries.
