Stitch Maynia Day #12 and gardening

 Today is another Year of Celebrations cross stitch by Hands On Design.   It is April..............there's part of a cloud and part of an umbrella.  I was missing the blue for the cloud so I used one I had that I really liked.  It's darker than the called for blue but I am getting braver about choosing my own colors. 

Today the sun was shining so I got outside.  I got another tote prepped and planted.  It takes a bit of time as I have to poke holes in it and then fill the bottom with brush and leaves, then a layer of dirt, then compost then more dirt.  I also pruned the tomato and finally planted it.  It's a little leggy from being in the house but it will perk up. 

Here's my tomato with the powdery mildew....there are some things I can use on it but I'll have to look it up again.....simple home remedies...no chemicals.

My Jackmani clematis is blooming.............  

I did some more trimming and raking and my lilac seems to have settled right in and the petunias too.  That's about it for today.  I hope you had a good one!

Happy Trails!!!
