Garden Collections

I guess I was born with collecting in my blood.  Don't get me wrong, I swear I'm not a hoarder.  I come by it  naturally. My grandpa who was my dad's dad started a business collecting when he was just a mere boy.  It was later run by my dad.  My mom is a bit of a collector as well.

In the garden my biggest collection by far is plants.  I'm always on the hunt for something I don't have.  You won't find large drifts in my garden.  I'm one of those gardeners who plant in drifts of one.

Another thing I love collecting is old watering cans.  I actually find them quite useful.  Some have their roses and work well to water seedlings and some have lost them.  These work well to water containers or newly planted perennials.  I like to imagine how many gardeners used these before me.

I also collect things that catch my eye.  Many times I have no idea where or how I will use these things.  Again most of it is old stuff.

It's a good thing I have the Potting Shed to house all these things that that are waiting to be repurposed or find their spot in my gardens.

I have the watering cans scattered throughout the garden ready to be used at any time.
