All of the plants in my garden were started from
seed, gifts from other gardeners, or purchased in what I call the "dead
plant" department. My first year after starting the garden at this
house, I began running ads in the "Free" section of the local newspaper
inviting people to come and get free plants... and they did. Most were
new gardeners who stayed an hour or more for a tour and tips on gardening.
Many became friends and some are now involved with the garden program. |
We picked the daisies and gloriosas to
take to the nursing home.

The playhouse, bridge and picket fence was build
entirely from discarded lumber. I used a pallet as a base, lumber from
a wood shipping crate for the walls and a sheet of used plywood for the
roof. The picket fence were left over pieces from when I used stockade
fencing on it's way to the dump to make the fence in front of the house.
It had insect damage and was dried out but a couple of coats of $1 a gallon
paint purchased at a garage sale kept it together for the three years I
lived here. |
