| Let's take a peek at what's blooming in the gardens this week! |
 |
| Since there's nothing new and exciting blooming, let's take a look at some of the junk that I have in my gardens. Part 1 of a two-part series! |
 |
| Meet Pearl! |
 |
| I kind of feel that a garden without junk is like a hotdog without mustard. It just ain't right! |
 |
| My plan is to find some clematises that have been drastically reduced in price and train them to grow up that headboard. In the corner is a vintage cultivator. |
 |
| My late father-in-law's armillary sphere. That man knew alot about roses, and he gave me the courage to try growing them too. This piece is very special to me. |
 |
| The red bike, once again being devoured by the heliopsis, despite digging most of them up in the Spring. |
 |
| My daughter likes to call this plant stand "the bleachers"! |
 |
| I made this totem several years ago, and it stays outside year-round. What, you thought I had somewhere to put all of this junk, come winter?!? |
 |
| I found this pump in my grandparents' barn. It was made by Sears, so I thought it only fitting that it should go in the garden of our Sears Roebuck house! |
 |
| The windmill, with a clematis growing ever higher. If I don't keep that thing under control, it stops the windmill from spinning. |
 |
| And last we have one of a pair of stained glass butterflies that a friend made for us. Some people might say that I have too much junk in the gardens, and maybe they're right, because sometimes I swear I can hear the theme from Sanford and Son playing as I'm working out there! Oh well, I love my junk, and I'll show you Part 2 next week! |
Never too much "stuff" in your garden! I love looking at the little extras in the yard. I put all the chipped plates I find in the yard

ReplyDeleteGarden junk! Love it. I'm inspired. I do love the old vintage things and I do love working in the garden. That's my new project...furnishing the garden with junk. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteFrom one garden junker to another, FABULOUS! In early spring I sometimes think I have too much yard art (junk). But as the flowers fill in and hide some of it, I think; just right. And then I buy more. lol!
ReplyDeleteHugs,

Well I think all that garden stuff gives your space a lot of personality. I like a wild and wooly garden as opposed to anything perfectly manicured. Eclectic is good. My home reflects just that. :) Have a beautiful day. Tammy
ReplyDeleteAhh, but don't you just love looking around Sanford's house when it reruns? ;)
ReplyDeleteYears ago, on walks, I would purposely chose a path that would take me past a certain house. I loved all the stuff in their yard, tucked in among the landscape, and each time I viewed it I spyed something new. I loved it and I am certain I would love your yard too!!
