Redneck hillbilly projects & blooming Spring

Always, I will show you all the beautiful blooms that emerge this spring and summer. And my many photos of the flower garden exposes my obsession. Little poems I write about my flower garden defines my love for them...

Yellows, whites and pinks
Glowing twists and turns love to keep
Unfolded blankets from shells they sleep
Shakes and shrivels they turn to weep.

In my last post, I showed you the arbor I crafted out of tree branches, sticks, and ivy, and I continue to do small garden projects and crafts, like with this toilet and bottle garden. 

The toilet is simply a piece of trash that doesn't appear aesthetically pleasing in a yard, but I am crafting my yard and garden to have a trashy artistic appeal, and the toilet serves a purpose to grow some pretty flowers. 

The bottle garden too is trashy. The bottle garden is made up of Ale8 bottles, beer bottles--can you get more redneck than that? 

The bottle garden is in progress, as I continue to add more glass bottles to frame the rest of the garden bed. This bed is full of mint, and MANY weeds, so I'm going to add mulch.

Beside the bed is a patch of Hibiscus and Phlox, and I would like to sow a thick layer of artichoke seeds and other big beautiful plants. In front of the mint bed is a mulberry tree, two aronia berry plants, a goji and grape vines. 

This small space is already packed full of plants, and even down from those plants is the 5 peach and nectarine trees seen in the picture here. 

I'm obsessed with these trees because of the delicate pink petals. This picture encapsulates Spring--bright green grassy yards against bright blue skies filled with rain to drown brown thickets.
