History bounding and tattie liftin'

After watching several Ash youtube videos about historical sewing and techniques, including ties at the waist rather than the elastic I use, I thought I'd try a bit of history bounding. 

That's, more or less, using historical techniques on a modern garment. So I'll  use ties on this green upcycled skirt, mainly because it came with a ready made matching tie. Also a casing, which I may discard, a bit clumsy.

I'll just stitch a casing and thread the tie through, leaving an opening at the side seam.  

This skirt is almost done, not really making, more like altering. 

And it's late July, so harvesting the potatoes is up this morning. Tattie liftin'. 

I could have left them longer to grow bigger, but we're having so much rain that they're likely to rot, so I lifted them this morning, tiny baby new potatoes, ready for steaming and buttering. 

Notice the two red potatoes, two more than I usually get. They're less eager than white to grow for me 

Here's a special request from Gary. He planted this vegetable and has completely forgotten what it is. I promised to ask you. So here we are.

And my daily updated flower arrangement, one daisy, one brown eyed Susan, one zinnia.

Happy day everyone, may your bounding, whatever form it takes,  be joyful!
