It also popped a bunch of my lilies, so will even have a bouquet or 2 of colorful flowers at Cheshire this week. Things are back to normal timewise this week, so I'll have veggies at Cheshire again this week, maybe even a couple of the first onions if I have time to pull some before I leave (they're not the huge ones yet, but they're decent size). I'll also have a batch of dinosaur-shaped soaps for the Jurassic World fans (but sorry, no Indominus Rex), and my last few sets of dipped beeswax tapers. (I've got 3 sets left and then I'll be out of them until I get some fresh beeswax). I will be out of catnip this week, as I sold the whole basket Saturday, and the leaves I picked Sunday are still drying. So next week I'll have a fresh batch of that too for the kitties.
