… the rain continues

Wow. What a wet spring!

The good side is that the ground is very well nourished … the bad side is that the beds that I really had hoped would be well in by now are not.
We have a measly 5 beds out of 36 filled and in place.

Lettuce planted into trays did VERY poorly. 95% of the seedlings died.
Frank seemed to think that maybe they were planted too close to the surface.

He planted some directly into the soil infront of the house, and it’s thriving.

As of now, the corn is all planted (in the beds), along with 1/3 of the beans and garden peas, and all of the sugar snap peas.
Some of the melons and courgettes will go around the outside of the beds shortly to allow for a “Three Sisters” type companion planting, and the rest will be planted with other companions in other beds.

Design for a Photography/Camera Bag

So I’ve decided that with the iminent new camera, I should look into having a nice new camera bag.

Problem?
There are so few really chic looking camera bags … and the ones that do exist are SOOOOO bleedin’ expensive!!!

Solution?
Deisgn my own.
Will I ever make it?
Who knows.
