this is the story of our life at "Rosevale on the Palouse Prairie" in eastern Washington State, and my love affair with all things fiber/fabric.
'BeanQueen' you might ask, well in my previous life I was the curator of the Phaseolus Germplasm Collection (beans native to the western hemisphere) in the United States. My lovely #2 sister gifted me with my 'autre nom'.

Yard & Garden Work
The nice weather brings the opportunity to get outside work done. It's something that must be done in sections as this old body can no longer handle doing that sort of work (weeding & cleaning up) in long stretches. But we got a good chunk of it done and it should be better & easier next time with not so many weeds to remove. This AM after a stretch of weeding I planted some more seed - beets, carrots, spinach & some pak choi and arugula for Buddy the tortoise - in the garden, did some transplants - kale & swiss chard - and started some warm weather crops - cucumbers & corn - for later transplanting. Thinning of lettuce is next on that part of the agenda, plus some more weeding. Then I have to transplant the little tomato plants into bigger pots. Don't worry :~) I've plenty of sun block applied!
