Scarecrow and other projects...

The crows were getting pretty rowdy so we decided to build a scarecrow....

we got some straw and some old clothes and started stuffing...

using an old pair of panty hose is a good method for the head and arms...

then you just safety pin things to eachother and dig a stake into the ground...Scary eh?


Oh! Here's some jerusalem artichokes, which I am so excited to see coming up. I couldn't find them at the nursery so I just got some at the grocery store and stuck them in the ground...stay tuned...



I love how this is shaping up with the planter box in front with nasturtiums and sweet peas coming up and the tomatoes in front of that. See the kiwi climbing at the far end and our "rescue plum tree" we got free off of Craigslist. I had a vision ...

the grape vine has some help from pagewire to get started climbing the trellis and kitty is always there to hang out when I'm doing stuff outside...

Creating stuff is half the fun of gardening. Cheap entertainment I always say!
