Fox Park in June? Plus Shawl
Well, here it is, a whole month and two days later. We were at Fox Park the first three Fridays, plus the first Tuesday, with some scallions, garlic scapes, tomato plants, pepper plants, eggplant plants (is that redundant?), tomatillo plants, ornamental pepper plants, and eggs. But once the plants got too overgrown and the scapes were gone, it's not worth the time and effort to set up just for a few scallions and eggs. So we've been skipping it for now.
We've been quite late in getting the garden all planted, but I think everything is in now and we're in the process of finishing up the laying of soaker hoses and mulching. There are a few tiny zucchinis, tomatoes, and tomatillos starting, so it won't be long before we can get back to selling on Fridays. The garlic will be dug this weekend, so that will be at the Fair in probably two weeks.
That Bluefaced Leicester/silk blend that I was spinning is now becoming a Shetland-style shawl (center square, with border and lace edge). Nowhere near the delicate, wedding ring shawls that are traditionally done with lace-weight Shetland yarn, but will probably be a lot warmer.
