What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? As before, there isn't anything worth reporting on my actual desk. This week, on the creative front, I have been concentrating on my knitting. Knitting The black sideways knit UFO This is coming along nicely. I blocked it out on my blocking mat, in an attempt to…
What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? A couple of Florabunda "Thank You" cards that I made by printing the design on the computer, and then colouring with my Tombow markers. The monochrome one has a very subtle touch of purple which unfortunately isn't showing well on the photo. My actual workdesk hasn't seen…

My…

Day 2 Amazing how quickly things get going. At the beginning of the day, there were signs of one or two roots emerging from the seeds, but by the end of the day there was no doubt. I had a peek at the peas while I was at it, and they had started…
Sprouted seeds and microgreens are far more nutrient rich than either the ungerminated seed, or the mature plant.
