Garden by the Barn
I have been trying to get my gardens ready for summer. I always seem to be adding mulch when the weather is hot. We are unseasonably warm here today - 95. Quite hot for April. I got the mulch in a few weeks ago, before I got sick and I didn't get to finished decorating. So today, while my husband is in Italy, I decided to finish them.
The old car jack came from my neighbor. He was having a garage sale and had lots of great boat parts. My husband said, there is nothing here for a $1 so you are out of luck". He had several old jacks and I asked how much for this one and he said,"for you $1". He made my day and of course I had to tease my husband about my $1 find.
The big wheel came from my son's property last summer. All the wooden spokes are gone but it did have this metal part that was still connected so I hung my barbed wire star from it.
My grand son and I collected lots of barbed wire on the property. I did a single layer of barbed wire for this one, but all of the others I made, I used two layers. I may take this apart and add another layer someday.
I found the wheel in my other neighbor's junk pile (on the left) and the old cast iron lid at a garage sale. The funnel came from up north, not sure what it was originally used for but it is a planter now. I found the insulator along the side road. They were replacing telephone poles and there were lots of pieces left on the ground.
I just love all of my rusty items in the garden. They will just get better with age.
This area is complete except I need to get some flowers for the planter by the window and maybe add some annuals around.
Off to get the side yard done.
