Moon Garden Update

The moon garden in spring is a little bare.

 But , I'm sharing it anyway.

That's right , if you read my blog , you get the ugly with the beautiful  not so ugly...

But really, it's April in northern Iowa.

Normally we don't see even this much plant life.

 I did plant a Bleeding Heart with Addie last Wednesday.

( this picture was taken prior to that )

Did you notice the tree stump in the black container in the back of the garden ?

Now you really think I'm weird right?

Em sure does.

Well, it's the start of an awesome feature for the Moon Garden this year.

( I hope anyway )

This is what it will end up like.

( again , I hope )

That's right !

ANOTHER wine bottle tree !

 Because , really, can any person living in the Trailerhood have too many wine bottle trees ?

I think not.

Plus, I have plenty of wine bottles...

(All those corks came from somewhere you know .)

Last year , I filled in with a lot of annuals.

I plan to add a bunch this year too ,

when you live close to as many greenhouses as I do , you can't help yourself.

I shop for plants like other women shop for shoes,

not that I don't love shoes, I do....

But I want to add more perennials than annuals this year.

I love perennials for the " bones" of the garden,

however,

 I really feel you need some annuals for constant color.

Just my opinion of course,

but, it's my blog ,

so I get to say what I want ....

Here is a little Moon Garden inspiration I got from Pinterest .

The White Garden  at Sissinghurst , Kent, England

Wish I had this shed !

Wouldn't this group of containers be FABULOUS in the Moon Garden ?

Old galvanized metal filled with white flowers...

LOVE

But here is my ultimate goal ~

Notice the Datura dangling above the rock ?

GORGEOUS !

 Yes ?

YES!

Wish me luck !

I'll keep you updated .
