Some Ideas I Found

 

We have had Oriels in the yard but not recently.

I have one garden rake head that I poke sunflowers on and now this one will be used for oranges.  Thank you, Carolyn Long!

I love this.  And I just happened to have two old rusty shovels in the backyard.  I had help from a few Wammyville dads to make it happen.

I'm still looking for two more.

Another treasure from Carolyn's She Shed.  It had artificial flowers and a little bird that had seen better days.  In the spring I want to add some real flowers. 

I love having a place to store all my garden things.  Carolyn had this hanging around her house.  A friend of hers handpainted the birdhouse.  It is perfect and I found the perfect place to hang it. Thanks to Pappy.

The Big Clean-Up Begins

 

Most of the blooms in the Bloomer Garden have given it their best for their first year.  I started cleaning things up and gathering spent seedheads for the gardens next year.

Hopefully, the zinnas will continue to bloom for a few more weeks.

This was where I spent most of the day.  All cleaned and ready to plant garlic.  I also have a place to plant some zinnias against the fence.  I'm figuring out where I can add another red cardinal vine.

I harvested all the teddy bear sunflower heads.  I left the others for the birds.

I started on the Goat Pen but didn't get far.

The gourds are still going strong as are the jalepanos and poblano peppers.  I even found 6 small cucumber plants.

Hopefully tomorrow I'll be able to finish up this side of the yard.
