I didn't have any finishes, just 3 starts that turned into tops before the end of the month. I had company at the beginning of the month (and the cleaning that preceded that) and a program and workshop to prepare for at the end of the month. I spent time pulling weeds, cutting volunteer trees, and trimming bushes, a little each day. It was a full month but none of at the quilting machine.
I only finished 2 dishcloths although I have 2 in progress, one at the half way point and one about 3/4 done.
In the garden the first Coneflower has bloomed. Also some weeds blooming in the background.... I dug up about 15 Coneflower plants which I shared with friends. The back garden was way too wild and thick with plants. I'm making an effort this year to tame it.
The tomato vines are thriving. They are starting to get top heavy so I'm putting stakes in the ground and tying them to the cages. I have lots of tomatoes on the Early Girl, some grape tomatoes and pear tomatoes and a couple big ones on another vine. I see one of the grape tomatoes is turning red.
This is three of the wintered over Coleus plants. There is a clay pot under there that they are planted in.
Milkweed came up again in the front garden. Last night we had several batches of storms and I saw that this one was laying down on the sidewalk so I'll pull it out today.
I bought some new tiny Coleus plants to add to the ones I wintered over. This pot sits right in front of the hydrangea bush. Something is eating the leaves of the Coleus so there probably won't be any more good photos of them.
