Gardening:
I finished hoeing up a big chunk of area (though not as big as I want) for my tomato patch for this year. I also put down topsoil. I planted three tomatoes (two Big Boy and one Park's Whopper) that I couldn't resist buying (I may actually have tomatoes BEFORE my summer break in July this year). I also planted more herb plants, including a pineapple sage, which really does smell like pineapple. And I have a creeping thyme and corsican mint growing along the pavers now.

Quilting:
Finished quilting another block on the Chimney Sweep quilt. Am thinking about what to start piecing next, even though I have a couple bedsized tops ahead and lots of small stuff. I prefer piecing to quilting.

Knitting:
Finished the first of the Southwestern socks and began the second. These are my "read and knit" pattern - I read some on a biography/analysis of Thoreau called "No Man's Garden" while working on these. I also got a bit done on the front of the Lightning-Bolt Family pullover.
