Hoop-de-doo

Last week was a doozy. Had a couple of projects going strong and a proposal to write. Also working on a couple of side projects, including a little something for my soon-to-be niece. While I'm still working on the main part, here's a little extra thing I made just so I would have a gift at the shower.





If you're wondering why I made blue booties for a little girl, let me clarify. They're lavender. Not blue. And, well, I just didn't expect them to look so blue. But they're darn cute!

The other big project around here (which I can only claim partial credit for) is the Hoop House! I helped figure out how to build it, but John takes full credit for making it happen. So, the basic frame is done. John's working on some additional support and then we'll wrap the sucker with plastic and put a little door on it.



On the right, we have Brussels sprouts and broccoli and the unstoppable Swiss Chard.



On the left, the fall crops are coming up: carrots, beets, silverbeet. And the little box is our lettuce/arugula box. It's all growing very well.

What color are those booties...Pantone 7452?

That's a near-perfect match, Beebe. But in certain light, it is closer to 7446, which is the purple-y color that I was going for.
