Happy Labor Day! I hope you are enjoying our final hurrah of summer as soon enough we welcome Fall onto our calenders. Oh how I love summertime and it is always a little tough for me to say good-bye to it. What about you? What season do you enjoy most?
Come along with me as I show you a little peek into my garden. It is long overdue for I have promised to show you weeks ago!
Not knowing how to use these three wooden wall pockets for the longest time, I decided to put them to use as flower vases on a painted gazebo found on Amazon! After painting the wall pockets white as well, I wired them to the sides of the gazebo and stuffed each with fresh flowers. The wall pockets were a $5.00 garage sale find!
In the background, you spot my vegetable garden comprised of eight raised beds of field stone found right here on our property! I hauled the stones wheel-barrow at a time until I had enough to form the beds. They host a variety of vegetables including tomatoes, beans, cucumbers, peppers, lettuce, beets, gourds, and potatoes to name a few!
I love to garden! I can spend hours in the garden during the summer, but it feels like only minutes to me! We have lived here for five years now and although we have a long way to go, I know we are making great strides in enhancing our old farmhouse. I want to share with you two delightful gardens that have greatly inspired me along the way! The first is Laurie's beautiful garden at Heaven's Walk and the second is Carolyn's seen at Aiken House & Gardens. If you have not yet had a chance to visit these two, please go take a look! They are gorgeous!
This coming week, I will be busy working on my contribution for the Fall Edition of Homebound! I am excited to be on board once again and can't wait to share it with you when it is released! Fall is such a fun season to celebrate with pumpkins, mums, and bittersweet vine galore! How do you like to decorate for fall? Do tell!
(If you missed any of the back issues of Homebound and would like to catch up, they can all be found *Here*.)
