Where is that little chair I put in the flowerbed?

Do you see that shabby little vintage child's adirondack chair in the middle of my flowerbed? I know, you can hardly see it..This is a picture taken in summer 2008........I place that little chair usually somewhere in the flowerbed . Most times it ends up almost hidden by the end of July!

As I was working away planting my flowers this morning, I remembered I had to leave a space for that little chair.

Which made me go searching for it. I thought I'd stored it in the little red barn storage shed......no...not there!

Well, I remember putting it somewhere where it would be protected from the elements, maybe under the deck..........

aack! what a mess!

Waaaay too much stuff in there piled up, alot we never use, and just store, just in case, you know......

Husband had been wanting to get at some bits of lumber way at the back and some other things and started shuffling things around.........

Well, at least I found it! See it? ...underneath and behind all that STUFF!

It's going to take me half an hour to move all matter of things outside the door so I can get at it!

Too hot and sticky today........maybe tonight? I'll take a good picture of it when I get it dug out of there.

Well, I have the camera out so will take a couple of shots of work in progress.

You know, I never plan my flowerbed. I just buy what I like, keeping in mind short and tall, and then just start plunking them in wherever!  I love a mixture of color! I'm never disappointed.

Hoping that in another month it will have filled out and bloomed enough to make it look as happy as my 2008 flowers.

 

Or my 2009 flowerbed.......

Meanwhile, at the back of the yard........needs some tidying there too....always wanted to do something with this old iron bed........have the head and foot of it.....have you ever seen a flower "bed" .....I'd need the space in the veggie garden to do it up proper......

What's this doing just laying on the ground?....Have to get it propped up and do something creative with it.

A patch of ornamental grass, it's finally amounting to something pretty! Don't ever plant in the flower bed without containing it.....it is like a very BAD weed once it gets going!

This little guy never stops working! I plunked those chives in there a couple of years ago and he just keeps on pushing them around in his wheelbarrow! In the shade and seldom, actually closer to never...watered, those chives still survive! I've been trying to rid my flower bed of them for the last few years and I still get them coming up there too!
Well,enough of a break for me, I should really go back to the greenhouse for a couple of things so I'll be ready to get back at it after supper when it cools off a bit.
Have a great day, no matter what you're doing!
