(right)This little white aster grows wild here, as I'm sure it does in lots of places. I just love their little white flowers. They are a good showy addition to fall gardens.
This is all of the perennials that I have photos of right now, but by all means is not all that I have in my garden. As they bloom next spring, I'll be adding more for you to see.
(right) A barrel of purple and pink vining Petunias. Last year I only had purple wave in this barrel. This year I mixed them with pink. (left) I made this wheel- barrow from a picture I saw in a magazine. The wheel and legs are from an old one. The hen was given to me by my sister Reba. A couple of doves raised a family in the half pot planter on the fence this year.(right)This is one purple wave petunia. Next year I will put three in and make it fuller.(left) This garden plaque was a gift from my daughter, Dorenda. Isn't it nifty?(right)My bird- bath was a gift from my kids a few years ago. Notice my cock-atel sitting on the little girls head. She loved it outside.(left)This is a good place to rest,(right)but here is where I sit each morning with my coffee, the swing faces the bench and garden.(left)This basket of Impatients sets beside my front door on the porch. I love my basket, it came from an Amish store....
(right)This is my hen/chicks container with Begonias, which I like better in it. I'm not very good at growing hen and chickens. This is a good conversation piece.(left) Dahlia, petunia and marygolds planted around my birdbath....(right)Impatients in front of a painted fern. This spot gets no sun. Theres a moss cover rock under the impatients.A close up of my wishing well is the last of my collection right now. This is an older picture as you can see from other glimpses that you have gotten of it. This was taken right after I made it. It has cedar shingles on the sides and roof and the rest is treated material. I made it to withstand the bad weather, because there is no way it can be moved inside. Its weathered well and now looks old like I wanted it to look. In this photo you can see the old oaken bucket!!I truly hope you have enjoyed your tour. I tried to made it as interesting as I could. I don't want anybody to leave my gardens bored here, or visiting in person.
