Tuesday To-Do #13: April Beginnings

I don't have a to-do list from last week to check off

but I'm still here today with progress to show.

I've been flying through my Nine-Patch Hourglass!

After only a few days in the sewing room,

the blocks are pieced and sewn into rows. 

(Pic from last year)

Out in the garden, I am continuing to show restraint.

One example:  I've settled on planting just green

cabbage, nixing Nappa and red cabbage.  They are

all so much better from the garden than the grocery

store but I'm tired of fighting the moths/worms

so maybe just one kind per year from now on?

To prove my point, the day after I planted this year's,

I saw the first cabbage moth flying around.

(I think it's likely the nasty thing came in on the

plants themselves, though did look them over.)

(Another pic from last year) 

The green onions, red & white radishes, lettuces,

spinach, beets and carrots are all in.  Herbs
are being planted and a second strawberry

patch has been started.  (Asparagus and

strawberries fill up three permanent beds;

six more are for rotating regular vegetables.)

On to next week's to-do's:

Nine-Patch Hourglass

Finish top, work on borders; piece backing.

HST's

I've slacked here so it's time to get a

table topper made.

Gardening

It's going to be very warm this week so I'll

probably just water and watch things grow.

And kill the cabbage moth.

Good luck to everyone on their projects

and happy quilting!

Reminder:  if you don't get a reply from me, you are

likely a no-reply blogger.  I'd love to be able to reply

but it's fine if you prefer that status.  Just know that

I am seeing your comments--and thank you!
