My Garden Tour 2013

I am starting the tour at my covered patio. Details on my covered patio decorating are

Covered Patio with Rustic Decor

Covered Patio with Rustic Vignette

I found the scale and the lantern earlier this summer at a consignment shop.

I love collecting and displaying vintage garden tools. I posted about this vignette

Potting Sink/Bench

Swingtime fuchsias hang in galvanized pails.

Next to my covered patio is the new potting sink/bench. Here is the original summer post on my whimsical summer

kitchen.

The vintage outdoor ironing board vignette with calibrachoa is also here.

The original ironing board post is here.

At the edge of the front patio is my sedum and sempervivum garden with my vintage toy Tonka loader. I posted about this vignette here.

Then there's the "chicken coop" garden with chicken feeders and roosters. These portulaca are taking over. They are all self seeded.

See how this flower bed started out this season

Junk mixed in with Fuchsias

That's the front of the house. Check out my curb appeal post here.

The front flower border of annuals and perennials. Do you want to know what I planted here? It's all here in

Annual, Perennial and Junk Garden

The step ladder adds vertical interest to the flower border.

Next to the border is my chippy white wheelbarrow.

Laundry Themed Wheelbarrow Container Gardens

I purchased this vintage wringer this year too for $8. What a find! These annuals have filled out nicely since the original post

here.

The gate was a recent purchase for $20.

The old barn door and neutral plantings. The framed lobelia hangs from a tree. See how these plantings have grown since the original post here, and here.

A vignette from the back yard. This vignette first appeared on my blog

Vintage Garden Junk Decor and Globe Thistle

My clematis got tangled at the bottom and didn't grow up the trellis this year.

Another gardening season is coming to a close here in northern Minnesota. About another month, and we could have a killing frost. All in all it was a good season!
