Hard at work

My first basket

Transplanted cabbage, broccoli, and lettuce babies into lower greenhouse.  Planted snap peas again where squirrel ate them, and covered this time.  Planted pod peas on the other side of the bed. Slowly, but surely, despite the weather.  Had a basket workshop this afternoon and evening.  Using mostly willow, but have also harvested Red Osier Dogwood and some Hazelnut twigs.  Basket Making  by Olivia Elton Barratt has step by step instructions which started us off. It is something I have always wanted to do.  Somewhat addicting, though...
