Garden Decor

December 15th, 2008

I always put a few things out in the garden during the winter to brighten it up since there aren’t any more flowers. I have a few metal birds that go out by a birdbath right by the back door. I really like the way they look when there’s snow on the ground, they’re very cheery. They make me smile every time I come and go.


Anyone else decorate their gardens during the dull winter months? With what?

    We have a cartoonish pink flamingo that goes into the garden once the snow begins to fall. Whenever we see it the reminder that spring will return soon enough is with us.

This is a journal of my small organic gardens in north eastern Ohio, zone 5(a). Our gardens are named after our dog Lucy, a big brown/black lab mix from the local pound. We started calling her “Chiots” when she was a puppy and the name stuck. She thinks the yard and gardens belong to her, she chases away all squirrels & rabbits and the UPS man.

Our yard is very small and fairly shady, we are surrounded by woods all 3 sides. The soil is made up of rocks and clay, not the best, but I’ve spent 7 years adding chicken manure & compost. When we first moved in 8 years ago, the gardens were in terrible shape from years of neglect and too many chemical pesticides and fertilizers. It has taken years to reset the balance of nature and we're finally starting to see the fruit of our efforts. We unearth worms when we dig and we are seeing more and more birds and beneficial insects in the gardens. The soil is also starting to improve after years and years of hard work amending it with all kinds of organic compost.
