Growing things

I have got a new mini greenhouse. A few weeks ago I planted up some seed trays but disaster struck and the whole greenhouse blew over in the strong winds.  I shoved the soil back into the trays and the result is a mixture of vsrious seedlings and some cat grass.

What's in here then?

We have since moved the greenhouse to the other wall where it is  less likely to be blown by the wind but  more vulnerable to "attacks" from the lad next door. I have planted up some more trays and shall hope for the best.

 I have missed getting a photograph of these at their best.

The geranium is from last year and has survived due to the milder winter. It is covered in new buds.

The rhubarb has gone berserk. We won't be eating it though. Too many cats have been around that piece of ground.

John has fixed up the new bird feeder holder. It is much better now they are not dangling from the washing line.

Finished...

... I think

 I am really pleased with it. This bag differs from my others as it has a woven rather than a knitted shoulder strap and it does not fit down the length of the bag. The downside of this  being you can see where I wove in the yarn ends.

 I stitched buttons each side of the strap to give extra strength.

The lining is some fabric from Village Haberdashery that I bought last year.

The insert has a double pocket. I may knit some flowers for the flap. It had an outing last week to the concert in St George's Hall.

My new piece of weaving is much finer and I am intending to cut it rather than use as one piece!

All sorts
