Its been a beautiful summer. I solved several problems I had been having in my garden by adding nutrients to my soil in the spring. I just finished picking strawberries and my freezer is filled with plenty for winter smoothies. I am so tired of them that I do not care to see another berry till next June. The berries lasted a whole month. Every day I was able to pick a quart or two. Now my sour cherries are ripe and next will be the blueberries, raspberries and blackberries. I found several ripe blueberries yesterday. So I will having berries for breakfast the rest of the summer. The raspberries will continue till late frost in October. I am still picking and giving lettuce away.
My roses were amazing this year. I have 20 Antique Cottage Garden Varieties.
Knitting continues also. I have one more sock to finish. I am about 1/2 was done with the underskirt of my Sasha Lace skirt. I hope to finish it by Christmas. There is a lot of knitting. With 4 lace pannels it is quite a challenge. I am knitting mine out of Sojabama instead of the Euro Flax Linen. I had the Sojabama left from store inventory. I am not about to go out and buy yarn. I wish I had saved some EuroFlax for this project but I sold all I had when I closed my shop. We have 24 knitters coming to the Friday afternoon knit in at Lake Latonka. Usually there are a dozen folks coming to a meet up.
