Okay, so I'm easily pleased, I know.
But I've never grown sprouts before!
Indeed all the major leaves had been chewed away at by weeny, wiggly caterpillars so I'm amazed that these teeny, tiny sproutlings have survived - so far!
I have 3 other sprout plants and they are still thinking about their sprouty stage, so this may be my entire crop ~
but even so, I'll be thrilled to eat them as and when.
And then next year, there will be more!
( Have you tried grating sprouts in stir frys, soups or salads?
If not, give it a go!)
Chair number 3 is done!
This was the black lacquered chair and sanding it was like taking off solid black treacle, so most of it is still on!
I did manage to take the top layer off and intended to paint it twice over before sanding it back, but one coat gave me the oh-so distressed look I was after!
So bonus!
A light sanding back and waxing and I'm happy with it.
However I think I may make a slim cushion pad for it, in vintage fabric.
I like your collection of chairs, so neat. That was quite some work sanding of all the black! A think cushion would look beautiful, I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your sprouts. So far I have never had luck with sprouts... Perhaps one day, who knows?
that plant looks like broccoli. what i call sprouts are the seeds that you grow and eat just as soon as they 'sprout'. too bad the caterpillars got there first. your chair looks wonderfully vintage.
ReplyDeleteI share your sprout celebration! Every little vegetable is a success in my book :)
ReplyDeleteYour chair vision is really coming to fruition as well - nice!
You might just about have enough sprouts for your Xmas dinner! Don't know why people hate them so much, I love them. Broccoli is a different matter, ugh!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love your three chairs at the table -- the chair you just refinished is perfection! Is the plant brussels sprouts? I'd never thought of grating their little "cabbages" or "sprouts", but that's a really great idea!
ReplyDeleteI am interested in that blog hop. xoxo
Yum - sprouts! The third chair looks great and both chairs look fabulous at the table!
