Yesterday I wrote up a whole list of what I would accomplish in the garden today, knowing from the weather forecast that today's weather would be good.
I didn't do any of it.
|
We recently had the doors on our shed replaced, the bottoms were rotting. But they still make a good backdrop for garden ornaments! |
It was bright and sunny and in the 60s, perfect gardening weather. I did go out there, but I didn't plant any plants, or redo the hoophouse, or transplant anything.
|
I basically just hauled a bunch of stuff out of the shed and arranged it. |
I have been collecting/hoarding a stash of junk, or junque, or garden art, for a while now, and have put up very little of it. But I've also been pinning lots of images of garden art, and when I got up this morning I just opened up the shed where it has all been hiding, and hauled it all out, and set it up. I had some partially formed ideas for what I was going to do, but then, you know what? I just kind of looked it all over, and let it speak to me.

I bought the 3 sun faces with color in them at the NWFGS. The wrought iron piece at the top came from Second Use in Seattle, a salvage store. |
|
I like round things! |
|
I need to get a couple of little pots to go with this metal sun. |
|
I bought that milk jug recently too, from an antique emporium in Auburn, WA called Ye Olde Barn Emporium. |
|
This pink colander makes a perfect well-drained container for a succulent-like Lewisia. |
|
This pot, complete with plants, was another craigslist find. |
|
I've had this fairy stake forever, she came from Massachusetts with me. |
|
I need to find a better spot for this birdhouse. Although the birds have ignored the two birdhouses I've put up in protected spots. Maybe they'll take to this one at ground level. |
All in all, I had a very satisfying day arranging stuff. The list can wait.
