Organized Clutter

The weather here in northern Minnesota has been cool, and a little wet, but these three  Supertunia Picasso in Purple petunia  plants in the laundry tub are doing great.  The   Lemon Slice Superbell Calibrachoa  in the watering can is too. See my front yard border planting photos over Memorial weekend and current early July photos below.

  Let's take a look at the plantings AND junk decor on another corner of my deck from this season and past seasons too!

Earlier this year, I found this rustic metal "Sweet Home Minnesota" sign at Goodwill. I'm sure it was homemade! I thought it was perfect for my junk garden vignettes. See my current plantings and junk decor on the front corner of my house below, along with previous blog photos of this same area from years past.

Today I'm sharing more of my current and past junk garden plantings. This area is just past my deck, towards the back of the house.  Maybe you remember this area that got a makeover just last year   HERE.

Today I'm sharing the junk gardens along the side of my deck from this year and previous blog years.

Here is this year's under the spruce tree planting.  The spruce tree is next to my deck.  The plants get dappled sunshine throughout the day so I usually plant shade loving plants here.  I also shared pics, of this area, from previous years below.  

Last year my potting sink got new cedar legs, as the old legs had rotted.   This year I purchased a Dollar Tree dish drainer and put it in one side of the old sink.

This plain wooden stool was a Goodwill find from last summer.  As I am joining a patriotic decor blog party with my friends in the Thrift Store Decor Team , I gave the stool a flag makeover.   Keep scrolling to the bottom of this post to see more featured patriotic recipes, projects and decorating ideas!

Here is 2022's plantings under the spruce tree, next to the deck.  I kept the wrought iron peacock settee here with the metal rectangular planter that I painted and stenciled several years ago.   Read on for more on the current year and photos from this area in previous years.

Today I'm sharing another section of my deck's current year plantings and also junk garden deck vignettes from years gone by. I try to change up my planters, plants and junk every year so my garden tour doesn't look the same.
