In early July, I started cabbage plants from seeds. It took them forever to come up, and they were spindly. About a month ago, I transplanted them into bigger pots and fed them and moved them to a sunnier spot. They shot up and grew big leaves, but they're still kind of spindly. I'm tired of fooling with them, so today I planted them around the edge of the phlox bed.
A rabbit will probably eat them now that they're at ground level.
Yesterday was my final chalk pastel class. I'm kind of disappointed that it's over. We did not make much art in class. The instructor would spend a few minutes discussing specific painters or paintings, then she'd pass out laminated copies of paintings for us to use as a reference for the remaining class time. We tried different types of chalk - hard, soft, pencils, pans - from each other's stash to get an idea of which we liked best. After yesterday's class, the instructor and a classmate had a long lunch together. It was fun.
Today, I'm working on The Grandson's portrait, which I'm doing with chalk pencils. He currently looks a little like Church Lady. ;)
