» bindweed - The old chair needs an occupant!
Emily,Forget the posies!
Have you ever been tempted to seat the old gardener therein. I envision a stuffed old duffer sitting in that old chair, the gardener that time finally swallowed up.
Ingredients needed being one Salvation army wool suit a hat, some straw, manure and annual rye seed. Moisten the suit and hat-- finally add a manure slurry, then sprinkle on annual rye seed. Roll up and cover for a few days -- rip her open and stuff 'the body' with hay. Place the stuffed and slumped over suit into chair and water for a week. Be sure to place a hoe over the tired shoulder! 'This old gardener was falling apart.'.
P.S. The picture didn't come through for me! Might need a higher pixel resolution.

» bindweed - Is my garden full of interesting stuff?
Sad to admit it is not. This is the first home/garden that I simply cannot connect to! My last house and garden were fantastic -- even attracted an East Coast Editor. Alas, it is gone, the gardens dozed and all the fruit trees chopped down.My only fame is in the gardens I now maintain -- they are simply beyond words. One just sold for 1.8 and I am looking to see what will happen, the organic farm/gardens is up for sale as well. So all too soon I may be seriously unemployed or have more work than I can handle.
Today was a one rock wall day! Two of us finished this serious low rock wall in one day. We felt very proud of the outcome. That wall is the final framing touch to my Riverine Rock Garden ... and soon I will have pictures of the finished product.
My other rock garden will hopefully be finished by next week. It is a bog/fern grotto -- and I am days away from finishing it.
I think I could transit over to managing a rock nursery any day.
