Around the Yard ~


A little tour around the yard ~



In spite of it being very dry, plants continue to do well.




This pug wind spinner makes me smile.  A gift from hooker friend Melissa.


On the south side of the house.


Metal rooster hiding in the plants.


The north side ~



Miscellaneous blooms ~







I never got around to moving the baby bathtub planter to the garden.  Maybe next year :)


My mom bought this old wheelbarrow for me at a garage sale 25 years ago or so.  This year I have become a real believer in Miracle Gro.  Over the years I used it sporadically.  Every year I planted wave petunias and they never did very well.  This year was no exception.  I decided to try a little Miracle Gro (several applications) that had been languishing on a garage shelf and they have been blooming prolifically and really filled up the space.



Thanks so much for stopping by.
Pug hugs :)
Lauren

    Your yard looks beautiful, Lauren!! I love the wheelbarrow....I had one, but my husband got rid of it (I wasn't too happy)...they just add a nice accent to a yard, and your's is wonderful!

    Your home is absolutely charming! How old is it? And your flowers are lovely. Wish mine were that lush. I think maybe I should hit my annuals with the Miracle Gro. I just might sneak up and relieve you of some of your cute yard art...lol.
