I’ve been working on the wrong thing again but this one has a due date. The fourth corner patch is finished, I have two purple rectangles with text to go left and right and then two sets of smaller patches which will get pieced and attached to a bigger wadding for top and bottom.
My project is not dead, I will keep working on it, but I fear that I may actually never get any of the stories out now.

I did a lot this month, just not much in the garden! It’s been cold and wet and muddy out there and I’m a coward who hates the cold. But we really do need to get back out there and transplant the not-sunflowers and nasturtium into the chicken area and tidy up in general while waiting for the ponds.
There was a bit of a kerfuffle about that as when J went to order them he claims that he doesn’t remember them costing that much (I’m pretty sure they did) and then he realised we hadn’t measured the heights (we had measured the widths and knew that would fit). Good thing he did as we found out that the 1200L ponds we wanted to get were too tall to fit under the grow bed frames. He then went to order the 1100L square ponds and decided he didn’t want to pay almost the same price for one that we could have gotten two from the other place, so now are other options are the same pond that we have already or food grade IBCs which are slightly smaller and I presume cheaper. He initially said that the IBCs are also too tall and would need to be sunk which would mean ripping up the paving which I was VERY unhappy about, but then he said we could just cut the IBCs in half and have them side by side.
