Welcome to my 2016 junk garden tour!

Since my house faces north, I have shade lovers like hosta, Solomon's Seal and impatiens planted under my bay window.

I have had this potting sink for several years now.  It's a fun display piece.  The cabinet door frame project with the B from 2014 is still a popular post on my blog.

The Black Eyed Susan containers and trellis's are new this year from a garage sale.  The window frame planter was part of my winter wonderland Christmas mantel in 2015.

 Gold Dust Mercardonia is one of the underused annuals I covered on my blog this year.  The little mounding plant is covered with small yellow blossoms.

My front yard border is always a mix of annuals, perennials and junk.  I add vertical interest with signs, a stepladder, funnel planters, and tall perennials.

I use bright colored annuals to keep the border interesting all summer long.

My wheelbarrow is an old favorite of mine.  It is my very first junk garden piece.  The laundry tub is planted with white Margueritte daisies and nicotiana.

I whitewashed the bench and stenciled the galvanized tool box HERE.

I pound finishing nails in the deck rail and drill small holes in the bottoms of my rustic birdhouses so they don't blow off the deck!

  6. Carlene, I love the idea with the gun rack! I see them all the time and hate to pass them up but I can never think of what I can do with them. This is a great idea! Instead of leaning my sharpshooter and rake wherever I stood, I can put them here where I know they will be the next time I need them. Super idea!

  14. Love your tour!!! I have a lot of garden junk and a ranch style house. I always wish I had a big, old farmhouse where my garden junk would be easier to display and match the décor of the farmhouse. I still want a farmhouse but you have given me hope on how to make my garden junk work!!! Thanks for the inspiration.
