the fourth one was not the charm

 jumped off the needles on the third decrease.(>人<) i keep performing acts of discipline because this one is not going to conquer.but frankly i'm bored. it was written on the stars  that i could knit artsy fartsy stuff, but not garments.the list of unraveled pieces  is infinite, not even with the help of  a program that does the calculations for me. ಠ ಠ

rains with benefits

for the lettuce, even in such a small planter they are beaming.eggplant and cucumber are stalling bcse it's too cold, we've had several nights in the 10s.C

the sweet aji is thriving inside and doing excellently on the second overwintering of the plant.  it is a hothouse of sorts inside where it is residing. the jalapeños on the other hand said goodbye.perhaps 3 years wea more than enough for them. toms have grown more than 10 cms with the rains!

finally akane red that used to dye the coats.and achieved with the help of the mega guru jenny dean
