I love clotheslines. My earliest memory of a clothesline was at my great-grandmother's house in Nebraska, with clematis climbing up one post. I went back as an adult to see this house and it looked just like I remembered.
Last year, I made some effort (not thoroughly successful) to capture state-of-the-garden pictures every month, including panoramas stitched together on Photoshop, in order to get the whole view of what's happening. So here's a little recap of the garden in 2023! early March April May June August It appears that I missed July, and either didn't take or didn't save this project in September, although we didn't have a killing frost very late into the season - we were still harvesting a few things in October. As much as I loved the lettuce that was growing in the tunnel, and getting an early start on a few things, I'm not a fan of plastic anywhere, especially in my garden, so I am looking at options - cold boxes with old windows, etc. I'm planning to start my 2024 garden this month - pea planting, planning, and seed starting in March! What are you planting?
My grandma didnt have a dryer so that was all she used. I can still remember her taking down the wash. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat picture. I remember my mom hanging our clothes in the back yard, with clothes pins. I remember playing with the the clothes pins and sometimes pinching myself or my brother with them. I loved the way the clothes felt and the way they smelled after coming off the line.
ReplyDeleteYou've brought back a wonderful memory for me, too, Karen! I've even thought about getting one for the Squash House!
ReplyDeleteCheers!
What a BEAUTIFUL photo Karen!!!
ReplyDeleteI love this photo. I don't have too many clothesline memories myself... larger items were usually draped over a chair or two in the living room. My sister and I would then make forts out of them.
ReplyDeleteI love the smell of clothes hung out on a line!!!
ReplyDeleteMemories, memories, good to have them back. Keep writing
