Look what we found! We went for a drive Friday after stoping at the Hosta nursery in Barneveld. It was time for coffee and a bite to eat. There was a sign giving directions to a statue/sculpture garden and restaurant in Garderen www.debeeldentuin.nl What a fun place to wander around. They have a shop full of things to decorate the house as well. Lots of room! No worries about walking into something! There were many sculptures, water fountains, vases, animals and statues outside displayed along a winding path. Couldn't leave this one behind!!

The garden is growing. Rain and warm temperatures these days! This is one poppy plant still in flower! Look at all the seed heads! I'll try chopping it off at ground level when it is all done flowering and before the frost hits to see if it will grow back next year!

There are more hosta's and heuchera's waiting to be planted!

This is a climber that was planted March 30th after the last real frosty night. It is in the two tubs in front of the shed. Maybe you can see it in the above photo.

The green container for garden waste is quickly filled. It is emptied every other Friday. Last week it was empty and now it is full! I leave the lid open on sunny days to let it dry out and maybe get more in! We have used the bin from the bicycle trailer a few times to transport clippings from the hedge. That has been done as well. No birds nests in the hedge but there is one in the bush next to it. The blackbird family is doing fine!
