Garden Goodies

This pretty mini-rose is the first flower of the plants second bloom. I was given this plant for Valentines day in sweet little coffee mug. We didn't do a great job of watering it first time around, but enough to keep the leaves alive. So excited to see new blossoms.
My little garden spider has returned with a new net
Did a better job with the camera this time and the spider was still nearby
These are the youngest of the tomato clusters I tend to
And here some of the oldestI pulled another from elsewhere in the plant that looked like it might be getting close to eating. Still wanted to hold on to the plant and could have used a few more days, but I get impatient sometimes. Me <-- girl who doesn't eat tomato's, even tasted it and liked it. Very sweet (but still a tomato)
I'm just very proud of my little garden, but that's not at all obvious, is it?

I keep wiping out their webs, and they keep rebuilding them. This one is hanging on between the Oregano & the Rosemary. Hopefully the one with stringers to my dill will eat the aphids.

For the photo - much more difficult than I expected. Remember, My camera is just a little point & shoot, with some limited focusing ability. I like my camera but it's not really cut out for this kind of photography I think. Took 20 shots, this is the only one that is in anyway clear. Limited focusing, shaky hands and a breeze - I'm glad I got this one.

I've taken lots of pictures of my plants from my deck point of view. I was looking at them from the ground view today and though it was pretty enough for more pictures... so here we are.

WWKIP 06/20/2009

Time for the second WWKIP that I planned to participate in this year. Last week's was bigger, but this one was still fun. About 12 ladies and a beautiful little doggie. I imagine most people got their fill the previous week, but there were a couple who came today that were unable to make it the last.

We met some people from the "Friends Of Fremont Park" who thanked us for coming and using the park for wholesome as opposed to destructive activities in the park. This park is convenient for us because it's across the street from our regular Sunday meetup at Naked Coffee - beautiful day, beautiful park and lots of fun with needles and fiber in hand

Sweet ickle Tomatoes

Decided to take some pictures of my pretty little grape tomatoes There aren't many fruits, but there are some.. yay Next year I think a bigger pot will yield a better plant

06/13/2009 : WWKIP DAY

Yesterday was the first of 2 World Wide Knit in Public days I planned to be a part of. This one was held at Capitol Park and was registered by my new friend Shiela. Also, her friend at Chickoree Coffee agreed to open just for our group on this day. What a sweet little coffee shop and I'm grateful for their hospitality.
We had about 30 participants throughout the morning. Starting at around 10 am and lasting untli about 2:30. Very wonderful event, met some lovely new poeple and hope that many of them join us at Freemont partk next Saturday.
