Oh yes. I bought seeds six years ago and have been harvesting seed ever since. These are red and orange and gold and yellow and they grow tall and bushy. These ones are scraggly AF because they got ruined by hail…that window is about 2.5’ off the ground.

Sewists!
I bought a linen and polyester sundress that’s a size or two too big (it was on SUPER SALE). I want to alter it in the bodice/bust to be less…just less.
What’s going to be the best? A couple of pleats in the sides? Darts?
IT HAS POCKETS.

The proof of the pudding is in the taste, as they say: the garden, lawn, and meadow. Peas are under the green shade cloth, but only barely (I have pods), radish and cabbage under the netting.
