Garden Update, April 28

We've been working on our garden and here is the latest:

This is last weekend after two weeks of rain here in Chicago.


This is after pulling weeds today and yesterday.


Me, hauling weeds to the waste pile.


A little flower at the back of our garden (probably a weed).


Our first real plant, chives.  One of our garden neighbors gave it to us and we planted it in the back corner.


A view from the back of the garden.  We estimate that we have about six more hours of pulling weeds before we start planting.  One of our garden neighbors told us today that this spot had been overgrown for years and we can tell by how many weeds/roots we are pulling.

Stained Glass Hat

I bought this hat kit at Vouge Knitting Live and finished it just in time to try it out while Winter was ending. I really like how the yarn changes colors and shows through the solid color.
