Hi Readers. The garden is growing like crazy. I got the cosmos in. I also got a nice start of peppermint (recalling the lovely bronzy-green another dyer was able to obtain. The Burgandy wine dyed alpaca locks are dying. I got a nice medium lavender after washing. It required that I heat the bath for the color to really take.
I haven't been doing all that much in the last day or two. The broom didn't survive the rainstorm. Pitty that. It was such a pretty plant. I seem to have a chipmunk a/o a mole problem too. I didn't spray with nematodes and the little burrowers are gorging themselves. It doesn't seem to be damaging the plants, and at least I won't have lots of Japanese beetles. I'm definitely feeling the whole 'wheel of life' thing right now
Milkweed is getting ready to flower. After that, it will be time to harvest. Queen Annes Lace is still growing, with no signs of blossoms yet. Red cabbages are starting to form.
Today my 2nd child graduated high school. Like his sister before him he graduated Suma cum laude. Saluditorian for his class. He leaves on the 23rd of this month for the Air Force Academy in Colorado.

You must be very proud of your graduates. Good for them, I am sure both worked very hard.
