Don’t it turn my brown thumb green
Posted under Being RSG by Recovering Straight Girl
That is a picture of one of my new Pink Princess Escallonia’s that HG and I purchased from Garden World yesterday.
Finally my back yard looks like something other than the barren wasteland that it once was.
We also planted, (and when I say “we” I mean, HG,)
and our new “Yard Art” wheelbarrow,
One of my friends said it was white-trash. What the hell does she know? Tomorrow I will be shopping for a pink flamingo to go in it, won’t that look swell?
So my gardening adventure is in full swing, but don’t tell HG. I told her that after the shrubs, I would be happy and not plant anything else…
nice job.
So with that wheelbarrow thing you can roll it around to various parts of the yard to change things up a bit, right? One day the flowers are on the left side of the yard, the next day they’re on the right side of the yard. Sheer genius!
“Yard art”
Please tell me there isn’t an old broken toilet with daisies in it somewhere in your yard.
ha. (at PurpleTwinkie’s comment)..The wheelbarrow is cute. I have seen big tires with flowers planted inside the center (that’s not cute), an old bicycle with the basket holding flowers, and the virgin Mary inside what looks like an upside down tub on people’s front lawns. Yours is better than any of those.( OHH and i recently saw someone who put an old headboard and footboard from a bed–into their lawn with flowers planted as the “quilt”…)
Ooooh, I like it!
LOL that you “garden” like me. The GF does it all.
Mmmmm that butterfly bush is sooo pretty and really easy.
White Trash Yard Art.
Is that a bad thing?
Coming out of lurker mode to ask the only question that a good tool loving butch can ask…
But.. but.. what are ya gonna do when you NEED the wheelbarrow?
Will you be getting one of those old claw footed bathtubs to use as a planter in the front yard too? (goes along side the toilet)
But it does all look pretty.
Perhaps this was just an oversight on your part, but you forgot to mention whether it was “naked gardening” or not.
Bammy, that is an excellent question, and I have an excellent answer. My own tool loving butch/chapstick lesbian bought herself a big beautiful new ORANGE wheelbarrow from the Homo Depot earlier that day. Hence- the yard art wheelbarrow!
Joe: wow, maybe you and Purple Twinkie should come up here and help me with that project!
Reelgal: You are right, that was an oversight on my part and because we have neighbors on all sides of us, it was not naked gardening. I reserve my naked outside escapades for after midnight.
One can never have enough pink flamingos in their yard.
Go for it.
Come to think of it maybe some of them little garden gnomes too????!
OK.. its official .. I like HG.. lol.. we can go blow the budget at Homo depot.. god I love that store..lol
I don’t see how a beloved garden can be “white trash.” Perhaps if you are standing in it with torn, too-short, too-tight cut-off jeans, a halter-top and eating a peanut butter and mayo sandwich on white bread… THAT might be white trash.
Stick to your guns, kiddo.
The wheelbarrow is cute. If the plants don’t live, I suggest a cactus garden which would be dynamite, doesn’t need much water.
