Weathered Red
Weathered red barn wood reused to make a birdhouse for the garden.
A sweet little House Wren likes this little spot each Spring.
She is little and chatty–hmmm, kinda sounds like me!
Seeing Red
I’ll celebrate Valentines Day with a week of red images!
Tasty, peppery French Breakfast radishes.
How lovely.
Garden Projects Of Rural Practicality
I made this wattle fence from an old iron bed frame.
Cut several green branches longer then the frame size and weave through the rungs.
Trim the edges when your done.
You may want to wear gloves, it gets a little tougher as the you go!
Plant little climbing annuals near this for a pretty Summer accent in the garden.
On the bright side
Pretty Nasturtium planted along the edges of the kitchen garden each year.
I miss this
Garden joys
How pretty the Hollyhocks looked tucked up along the side of the greenhouse last Summer.
The large clay pot is temporary to hold water, until I find a vintage treasure suitable to use as a rain barrel.
Not only are the plants always changing, the structures of the garden are always evolving also.
Plant peddler
In just a few short days I will began sowing seeds for the upcoming Spring season.
I always plant way more than I could ever plant into my garden.
You see, when your heating the greenhouse, you may as well fill it full of flats and pots.
Why heat empty shelves!
This leaves me with extras to offer to local gardeners…The Extra Sale.
I found this image from last years sale…pots of freshly sprouted cucumber seedlings.
Let’s move this thing
This little wagon is handy to have around the garden.
When the plants are ready to leave the greenhouse, I can load up the wagon and pull them around to the garden beds.
I made the wagon a little sign, just for fun.
Play time
When the sun is out, I can go to the greenhouse and play.
