It is unfortunate that I did not notice until after the pics were taken that the clapper on my wind chimes looks like a cheap plastic reflector from an old bike. But see past that and enjoy the woodlands vision of my free garden containers:
We heat with wood in the winter, and while chopping wood my husband and son saved all the hollow logs, cutting them to size.
My son filled them up with compost from our compost piles, and planted alyssum in them.
They are standing up in various places on our tire retaining wall.
This arrangement below is particularly pretty, but it was all in shade and I couldn't get the light well enough to show how pretty it is:

ReplyDeletePoppies don't like to be moved...try seeds for them (sometimes they don't bloom until the second year. Another act of patience!

the poppies have been interesting. My great-grandmother's yard has a huge poppy bed, and several of them get out in the yard every year. About three years ago we dug some up- we knew they didn't transplant well, but they were small, still pretty much flat to teh ground, and we dug deep and all around and put them in our backyard in a spot very similar to the one they'd left. They did great. We think they never knew they'd moved.
ReplyDeleteSo last year we tried it again in a different location. It was a trial- the new location was different from their home in my great-grandma's yard, we probably were lazier and did not dig so deep. Etc. So I wasn't surprised they didn't make it. I am just surprised this one came up this year.
