Another hot dry day, we have not had rain enough to do any good for over a month and it looks like another dry day today. I have been watering every day and will again today. Yesterday we soaked the ground good and set out 58 very small tomato plants. The sixteen we did earlier are growing and doing well or at least most of them are. Saturday we go to the annual plant sale in McMinnville and will get at least two dozen more. If any of these that we have set out don’t make it we will replace those later. We are going to be evaluating this year the value in planting so many tomatoes. If we harvest all we need to can and eat fresh maybe it will be worth the effort and space otherwise it many be better to buy tomatoes to can and use the garden space for other vegetable we would like to can or freeze that we can not buy at the farmer’s market. Like the broccile, we could not grow that as cheaply as we can buy it as long as this one farmer still grows and sells it. She makes jellies and jams to sell and has trouble growing enough raspberries so I like to give her a couple quarts of the fresh raspberries in return for the reasonable broccile. Today I hope to get started on moving my sewing machine and all the sewing junk down to the studio and moving my writing items up here to my storage area off the loft. I want to get to sewing the things I need for my great grand daughters. Dyhana was here last fall and I gave her a small new born baby doll I had left from my doll collection, she call him Primo and he had no clothes. I promised to make him a night dress and other clothes and them forgot all about it until I got a letter from her father who said she still carries Primo around all the time. I felt so badly that I had forgotten so now I need to get sewing again and think it will be easier down in the studio where I will have room to set out my patterns and cloth. Gina has gotten to the age now where she likes to dress up and pretend to be a princess. So I need to get busy on a pretty outfit for her to play with when she comes in July. So the knitting will take a rest along with the writing and I will spend some time each afternoon sewing. I am still trying to add recipes to my blog as I do need to get all the new recipes I got this winter need to be recorded and organized so I don’t forget those. So if you wish to see any of those look under recipes on my blog. Have a great day.
