One:
On Sunday, I was teaching my husband how to bottle the tomatoes. It went well. We picked the celebrity and roma tomatoes from the vine and immediately prepared them for canning. We got 4 quarts of canned tomatoes from this batch.



Two:
I have shipped these to the customer:


The customer loved them and put in another order of 8 small fitteds and 12 large fitteds.

Three:
Finished the rainbow baby blanket:


Time to start another baby project.

The grape tomatoes needed to be harvested. A lot of them are ripe and there are still vines on orange ones out there.


Tonight's harvest.

There are a few more green peppers ripening, too. Fajitas? Yes!

Yesterday, Sarah and I picked yarns for our baby blanket. She picked rainbow colors. I started crocheting the blanket last night and so far, this is what I got:



Why don't I crochet more? It's SO quick!

The garden is doing well. Everything is growing. We have a few eggplants bearing fruits. We have two cabbages of decent sizes. I have one zucchini log and a few smaller ones. And cucumbers.

We also have a lot of grape tomatoes ripening. The celebrity tomatoes are growing like granny smith apples or golden deilicious apples sizes. They're huge.

We have to thank the lady who lived here about 2-3 decades ago. She worked the soil well. We haven't fertilized nor spray anything on these plants. It's all in the soil.









Other than gardening, I have been sloooowwwwwly working on the diapers orders that I have. Received another sizeable order since last week. I'll be mailing these out tomorrow so that'd make room for the new order.



For this order, the customer sent in the fabrics and 5 diaper cut outs that she had. She asked me to sew them for her. :)

Surprise! In the middle of May 2010, we found out we were expecting another child. It was confirmed last week with an ultrasound.

A few more days and I'll be in second trimester.

I have been slowing down since finding out in May. Which is one reason why this blog rarely gets an update regularly during the past month or so.

I did what is necessary in the garden. That's it. I am still sewing but only sewing those custom orders. I haven't sewn any extra.

I very much want to make a couple of dresses for my daughter. I have the fabric. Just trying to squeeze out the energy to do is a bit beyond me at the moment. However, the fatigue phase seems to be passing by. I am slowly getting back more energy. So maybe the dresses project is not yet a loss cause.

I went out to the garden while waiting for the grill to heat up tonight. The beans are coming in heavily. I picked a couple of handfuls, washed, dried and put them in the freezer. In two to three days, I should be able to pick the rest to fill a big bowl.

Sarah has a couple of cucumbers ripe enough for picking. A couple of eggplants have blooms. A few zucchini buds, a few more cucumber buds.

Now, the tomatoes.

I guess the new strips aren't daunting to the plants. They're growing taller and taller. The stems are laden with fruit. A lot of fruit. Yes! I will have lots of tomatoes to make sauce with later in the season.

I picked a cucumber and a handful of grape tomatoes for tonight's salad.
