Another skein of yarn kicked through hexipuffs (Malabrigo Sock in Playa). I’m frankly amazed I got three of other separate projects out of this skein, and still managed this many puffs.

Garden Notes
I only finally got the plants out to harden off on Wednesday, between our trip, and the ridiculous amount of cold and rain we’ve been getting. Things were definitely starting to get leggy, so I planted out most everything today.
The pepper are still inside (I’ll be putting them out for tonight at the next chance I have to go outside), and I decided not to plant the basil yet (and the zinnias- I’m trying to decide what to do with those). Everything else went out today.
The community garden bed had gotten weedy while I was gone – I definitely need to keep an eye on that. The garlic is looking really nice, and the surviving blood sorrel is looking rather lush.
Today, I planted calendula, Swiss chard, some onions that I thought were shallots when I bought them, broccoli, chocolate flowers, nigella, salvia, brussels sprouts, Lacinto kale, and gem marigolds. There’s space waiting for the peppers.
I’m not sure about the nigella – it got really leggy. I may try to direct sow some in there as well to see if I get a second crop, just in case.
At home, I got in collards, broccoli greens, khuri squash, thyme, orange thyme, lemon balm, oregano, parsley, gem marigolds, calendula, chocolate flowers, and nigella. I have space waiting for peppers and basil here.
