All this week in lovely April, we're finally welcomed with little or no rain. Temps are pleasant 60's and rising to 70's by Sunday. So having taken a break from tons of furniture painting including designing surface patterns, I've resorted to mothering my tiny flower seedlings, weeding garden beds, clearing out the garden shed including disposing of yard debris. Blisters and sore muscles withstanding, my head is spinning with assorted gardening possibilities.
One thought I've been contemplating is to surround the back area intended for vegetable/flower garden, with either a tall brick wall (think Bloomsbury Charleston House walled gardens) or wood fencing. But which is most feasible? Well, after considering the two, I found one of my photographs taken last summer while visiting friends in Gig Harbor. It helped me to make my choice. Definitely a picket fence! Nevermind, not as expensive or labor-intensive as building a walled garden!
And now it's time to make actual plans. Do I build a picket fence from scratch, buy premade, or find a vintage secondhand with peeling paint and rickety appeal? Hmmm, really need to think about this further.
Hope you have a great weekend.
