Well it's with sadness posting today's chain as it's our last one.I'll miss visiting and blog hoping each week.Plus it always gave a focus on what to post since there was a theme.Let's face it sometime's there's nothing to blog about..smile..I understand completely though it's alot of work for Misi to do each week...Ok this week's theme is Mary,Mary quit contrary "How does your garden grow?" Well we had super mild temps but now it has plummeted and is Brrrrr cold.So I'll use last years pics....I always like to grow unfussy plants and love herbs.Mullen below grows easily and blooms with long tall flower clusters....
Always gotta have tons of sunflowers.Some to dry,some to put in a blue mason on the farm table and some left for the birds.I always start these from seed.Beginning to pop up....
End of August through October pretty colorful blooms....
We always have a vegetable garden usually a small one at home and a huge one at grandma's old farmhouse..Always plenty to share..And so much tastier than the stuff at the store.I always get excited to have strawberries and tomatoes.Nothing like the sweetness of home grown...
I like to use junk in the gardens.Makes it interesting...Old chairs,Rusty metal gates, Watering cans...
So now you see how my garden grows.Now stop on over to Misi's and visit the other displays or join in the fun.Warm Blessings!~Amy

The old stained glass window is a beauty! I'd love to do things like that only my son would have a football through it!
Beautiful garden pictures, Thanks!

Such pretty pictures...I love the mullen..will have to search for some this year (is it a perennial?)
Thanks for joining in today! Hugs, Traci
Your flowers from last year are very pretty!
Your garden pics are just great! I also love to use "garden art" to make things interesting -- love your's!!
I never heard of mullen, but I think it is very pretty, and if it's easy to grow, I'll be looking for it at the nurseries!!
The pictures are so beautiful. Where do you find Mullen? It is so pretty. I will have to search for some. Have a great day Amy. Hugs,

Beautiful garden! I love to use "junk" in my outside decor too! ;) Heck, my family thinks my inside decor is junk too...what do they know?;)
Thanks for sharing!!
I"m so envious...but I'm afraid I'd end up in anaphylactic shock if I tried to garden. I just drool over everyone else s beauty though!
I guess I am with the others and wondering where you find mullen. If it is a perennial, it would be great. I'm looking for plants that don't require a lot of work.
Love the glass piece-beautiful!
I am ready to plant. Wish this weather would settle down!!!

Amy, Amy - not at all contrary - your garden grows beauteously.... ;o) You're a gal after my own heart with garden "junk"..... My hubby's friends think it's funny and sometimes send some "junk" home with him just to see if I'll display it. Usually I do. Lucky me. Mullen? Hmmmm....Never hear of it - almost looks like a dwarf version of foxglove/digitalis.....Do you know it's proper name? I'd like to try hunting some down....Smiles & Hugs ~ Robin
Amy, I just loved the tour. Your sunflowers are amazing.Summer will be here before we know it and we will be enjoying all of that yummy freshness.Blessings ~Sara
