Spring is Sprung - Check Out the Garden!
by
Carole
We are barely a week into spring after supposedly the mildest winter on record. (Tell that to people who live in the mountains - ha ha - blooming freezing!). Spring has taken us all by surprise as the temperatures have been more like summer. Time to put the garden furniture out! The bulbs are blooming and we have some lovely daffs in the garden too!
Front flower bed with native violets and verbena. In the red pot is mint. Red chairs were an ebay find, I painted them.
Back yard -The daffodils are up - cannot recall what variety they are though.
The 'table' is a glazed pot with a zen like garden in sand and glass top on bumpers. Bench was another ebay find which I painted.
More daffs

I am looking for garden edging like yours -- just wood. What is the type of wood you used for yours? You garden is great and the chairs are wonderful.

Helps a lot Carole. Thank you, I can now feel confident going to the lumberyard now that I know what I am looking for. The stain is a definite. I just can't stand the plastic that doesn't seem to have the flexibility I need and prefer the wood anyway even if I need to replace every few years. THANKS>

@Marianne There is another edging you can use that is wood. It is on a roll (I think it is wired together somehow) and uses wood that is in a short vertical pieces. I am guessing the height would be about the same height as a wooden plank laid on its edge as in my photos.. If you have curves in your garden beds, it may work better than the straight planks of wood. You could follow the curves better using this stuff. I would check out the hardware section before going to the lumber section to see if they stock it. Again, this is something you could give a protective coat of stain to before placing it in position. This stuff won't warp or bend either.
