A1) Hi folks, Lexi (she/her), and this week I finally finished the neverending scarf (https://toot.wales/@alexisbushnell/112508264521778762) and a disappointing and frustrating headband (https://toot.wales/@alexisbushnell/112515540045386628).

@suearcher @makershour yeah, I'm gonna undo the sewing up I did and see if I can make head or tail of the instructions again - or at the very least see a way that might make it look as it's supposed to.

@suearcher @makershour thanks. This is the pattern: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/chunky-twist-headband-6 .

It's also way thicker than it says even though I did 10 stitches not 10, needs even fewer.

@Spark @Maker_of_Things @makershour haha, Morrie does seem to love that wool!

Now that the UK has announced a Genital Election, I'm really looking forward to all the political content coming our way.

This isn't even sarcasm. I love a UK election.

@matt not watched the video yet (not sure I can bring myself to!) but I had a discussion years ago now with someone who said they were a Tory and were voting Tory even though they disagreed with their policies and leadership.

I will never, ever understand people like that.

Me: Go and tidy your room please. I only want to see a single Hot Wheels loop out in there.

1 hour later…

Youngest: Dad, I’ve tidied my room and there’s only one Hot Wheels loop in there now. Come and look…

Me: THAT’S MASSIVE!

Him: Yeah (looking confused), but it’s only one loop.

Me: 🤦‍♂️

Sitting in our 7th floor hotel room looking out over Cardiff Bay and using Google maps to identify the buildings we can see. Tom is wondering where Michael Sheen is staying, we didn’t see him here at breakfast 😂 Heading home in about half an hour, looking forward to seeing cat and daughter

Planted up some seeds today as part of learning to .

Potatoes I planted in February and some seem to have taken - am just hoping the compost is deep enough for them.

Garlic I planted in December and again, hoping it's deep enough.

Carrots in the wellies! lol! Broccoli in a pot. Kale and extra carrots in the space the potatoes and garlic didn't take.

alexisbushnell,
@alexisbushnell@toot.wales avatar

The carrots in the wellies are doing far better than the ones in the trough.

Any ideas? Maybe just cos it's deeper?

@alexisbushnell@toot.wales avatar

My potatoes are a disaster 😭 the slugs are destroying them and now they've got blight.

alexisbushnell,
@alexisbushnell@toot.wales avatar

Any smart ideas of how I can fix this hanging basket to this wall?

I do not have power tools, nor the skills to use them!

I want to put strawberries in the basket.

If you blow on a dandelion seed head in just the right way, you get to meet one of these cuties. Nice.

@eclectech yes! Raised in Cheshire, England, in case that helps.

@alexisbushnell When did you start investing more time with gardening efforts?

alexisbushnell,
@alexisbushnell@toot.wales avatar

@msquebanh I started growing things this year so I'm brand new.

alexisbushnell,
@alexisbushnell@toot.wales avatar

@msquebanh I have a potatoes, carrots, garlic, kale, coriander, parsley, basil, Pak choi and swiss chard in pots. I've also got some apple saplings growing in my window sill.

My garden: https://toot.wales/@alexisbushnell/112450861143089139

alexisbushnell,
@alexisbushnell@toot.wales avatar

@msquebanh I did plant some broccoli but they didn't grow.
I want to do lettuce and salad things next year. We're in the process of moving house so I don't want to plant in the ground, it all needs to be moveable!

Yes, I have planted some wild flower seeds and sunflower seeds. I'm letting last year's coriander flower too.

I accidentally grew some mushrooms in the herbs but now I've repotted them the mushrooms are in the compost!

alexisbushnell,
@alexisbushnell@toot.wales avatar

@msquebanh thanks I'm south Wales, I think it's zone 8. Slugs are destroying my potatoes at the moment.

I couldn't leave the mushrooms because they were taking up so much room in the pots, they're helping my compost pile now though.
