So many of you commented on my radio flyer wagon all planted up that I thought I'd share a few more pictures of the sweet little corner of the garden that it's tucked into.
You can read the story of my $24.99 thrift store find of the wagon here. I have to tell you, my husband was not too keen on me drilling holes in the bottom of it and plopping it into the backyard but I think even he is pleased with how it turned out.
This little area is now my favorite spot in the yard...
In fact, I took so many pictures that it will take me a couple of posts to share them all. I hope you don't mind indulging me a bit. I spent two days pulling weeds and spreading compost (not my favorite job but well worth the effort) and my sore muscles need some positive affirmation.
I have been adding miniature roses, hardy geraniums, alstromeria, candytuft, columbine, foxglove, penstemun, dianthus and seasonal annuals to this bed for a couple of years now. I love how lush it has become. When it comes to a cottage garden, I definitely believe more is more.
Okay, now on to the winners...

ReplyDeleteCongrats to all your winners. Your garden looks so pretty with your wagon all planted. It got me to thinking, we have a wagon in the garage that I don't think our grandchildren even use anymore. Thanks for giving me a great idea!

Hi Patty,
ReplyDeleteThe wagon is so cute. I did that with an old iron wheelbarrow. Had to drill holes in the bottom, I fill it with plants. I think it was a really good way to use the wagon.
good for all the winners of your nice weeklong drawing, bad for me. Ha. Those were very nice things you were giving away. Thank you for doing that.

The wagon looks fabulous tucked in with all your pretty flowers. What a neat idea! So glad you had a great weekend and since it was long, I'm happy about a short week! :)
ReplyDeleteXO,

Patty,
ReplyDeleteYour Cottage Garden is absolutely gorgeous! Lush and lovely! I often wondered how you planted the wagon. I have one from when our sons were babes...but don't want to drill holes in the bottom! Guess I'll have to admire yours instead!!!
Fondly,
Pat

ReplyDeleteI do love the addition of your little wagon.
Congrtats to the lucky winners too.
Such a great idea for a wagon- love it! Radio Flyers also work well for toting around a paralyzed little wiener dog. :) I used to do that for my Frankie until she advanced to a doggie stroller.
