Inspiration
While reading a book a while back I came across this photo.
I love the sapling fence! I can’t imagine how much work it is to cut all those saplings to the proper length and attach them. This would be a good fencing option for my garden. I have an ample supply of saplings around so it would be inexpensive. But would it be worth the time and energy to cut them all? I’m not sure.

This is a volunteer sunflower that came up in my front flowerbed. Well, actually it was stolen from my bird feeder and planted there by chipmunks.

My Mom’s Garden
I think I caught the gardening bug from my mom. She’s always been an avid gardener, both ornamental & edible. When I was young we had a HUGE vegetable garden at my grandparents house out in the country. We worked in the garden all summer and then canned and preserved all the produce we grew. About 15 years ago my parents moved to a new house with a nice-sized city lot. There was a ton of room for gardens. They have an orchard, a small garden and many ornamental beds. I think this bed was the first one put it – it’s called “The Garden of Eden”. It’s in a small fairly wet area of their yard. It looks great throughout the summer with things blooming all the time. This photo was taken on July 11.
A few more of my mom’s flowers.
Mr. Chiots loves these plants. I’m going to get a start from my mom.

Too Many Daylilies?
I must admit, I’m not a huge fan of daylilies. The gardener that lived here before me however, loved them. I had mountains of daylilies when we moved in, there were really no other flowers to speak of. I have given most of them away (they are all in my mother’s garden). A few remain, I’m keeping them around until I find something to replace them with.
