One down, three to go




I have the first of 4, of the Ruby's Gardens done and the fabric picked out for the next one.


It has been so stinking hot that I do not dare go outside after I come in from working in the garden. By then I am heated and tired and just want to hibernate inside.
I had no intentions to work in the garden this morning seeing how it was near 80 at 7:00, other than watering the new seeds planted but this one bed has been driving me nuts since I've been home. 


My garden and that beds looked like this 6 weeks ago before I left 


As you can see I had planted cabbage in this bed. 
Now my garden looks like a jungle.
I made it through only weeding half the bed before I got overheated. I wanted to get it all gone but it was just too hot and this was before 9:00. I just can't work out in this heat like I use to.



I had harvested 5 heads cabbage and meant to get to the others before the rain hit last week.  
But I put it off and now my crop has rotted because I waited too long.


Poor cabbage plants

Stay cool.

  1. Such a shame about the cabbage, they go so quickly in that heat don't they!!! I can't imagine it, we are still quite cool here.

  2. Oh I remember the cool days and can't wait for them to return. I'm not a summer girl. You would think I would be since I'm from sunny California.

How to Make a Portable Design Wall

I had wanted to get a portable design wall to take to retreats but did not want to pay the price. Looked at various pins on pinterest and took ideas from more than one to come up with my verison. It worked out great and only cost a fraction of the price. The PVC pipes, joints and 2 yards of felt cost under $22.00 My design wall is 4' x 4' which stands approximately 5 1/5' tall. For this size need 2 - 10ft length of 3/4" PVC pipe for the frame and 4ft of 1" PVC pipe for the feet Cut the 3/4" PVC into 4 - 4' section                                                                                       2 - 1' section              Cut the 1"  PVC into 4 - 1' section        ...

It came from a shop in Texas,...
