Garden Update!
This spring I decided that just because I can't mow around some of our big oak trees does not mean that they have to look terrible.
So I started building a new flower bed around the trees, using only recycled products for the actual flower bed itself. The bricks I got from my son when he tore down his chimney. Most of the plants I got at garage sale or from friends. The bear statute I have had forever, he just looked pretty cool standing guard over everything! My welcome sign is a barbed wire wreath that my husband made for me, the barbed wire is from my Grandpa Becker. When he was done using it he threw it on the "rock pile" I got it back 20 years later! And of course, I got the big rock from the rock pile also.
My petunias are in a old dutch oven that I salvaged from somewhere and the "Welcome" is from a old sign that we had for years! I wanted a two tier garden as this is a wet area. Do not notice how crocked my bricks are, it is what it is! I still like it!
I can't wait to see what it looks like next year once everything has taken off. I plan to finish the backside of it next spring with more flowers. Now on for more flower identification.

I am leaning towards Evening Primrose as this was taken at 8:30 last night and notice how the flowers have closed up for the evening.

Well thats all I got for now, I will try to keep up on my picture taking. As always thanks for stopping,
