When Knitting Was a Manly Art

Two more rounds and bottom ribbing begins on the Aran. I expect to finish those two rounds tomorrow morning. When the ribbing is truly started, I’ll post another picture.

The rest of the day was all nursery work. Watering.. Who would have thought that we’d be concerned about plants drying out this time of year. But February has been a very dry month and so I spent the better part of the morning watering the outside plants.

Afternoon was spent watering and weeding *our* plants. We have an area that we’ve been keeping stuff we’re interested in but in too small of quantities to be really for sale. Last year I bought a couple Black Violets and one of them produces an amazing amount of seeds and does a tremendous job of spreading them. I found seedlings 20-30 feet away from the original plant. It seems a shame to rip out all those wonderful, healthy seedlings, but when they start taking over the nursery, something has got to go. I save a couple gallons pots of the plant, but they’ll be isolated from the rest of the stock.
