Hadn't been back to our garden up on the hill in about five days, but when we went up early yesterday morning we were flabbergasted to see how much growth there has been!
The mulch definitely keeps down the weeds and keeps surface evaporation down.
I also stopped slothing around and finished warping the dish towel warp. Weaving it at 18 inches in width, which will shrink in the finishing to about 16 inches. Weaving length is 30 inches which will shrink down to about 26 or 27 inches.
I'm excited about these. I'm very honored to be weaving dish towels on request, and these are on a commission from my cousin Patsy, who ordered three. There should be three or four more on the warp, of which I'm hoping to keep one for us, and a couple for the siblings. The weaving should go swiftly. Tonight I am planning to thread the towels, at least halfway through the warp of 540 ends.
Next warp after this one will be the screamingly bright violet-and-chartreuse dish towels, which will go to neighbors, and perhaps one for us too.
