A Walk About Through the Yard for Plants and Projects

 How about a walk about through

yard?

My sedum is so confused. Our temps have

been down and no humidity, which makes

my sedum assume fall is coming.

You see, this blooms at the beginning 

of fall.

Took my walk about Friday morning

and stopped at the mailbox.

I loved the view so much,

I just had to have a pic.

I think this is a Batchlors Button

growing from seeds I tossed at 

the mailbox.

I walked across the road the other

day to see if any seeds I tossed over

there at the end of summer was doing

anything. 

Morning Glory was blooming.

The Marigold did not take.

Another shot of the mailbox.

 This is a weed, and or

Dandelion, only this is one I 

have never seen till this yr.

Google, I love Google, tells me that 

it is a Texas Dandelion, AKA Carolina

Desert-chicory or 

false dandelion.

Now I insert my thought here,

Carolina Desert? Why that name,

according to my brain, Carolina

don't have deserts...

Anyway, hard to tell in this pic,

looks like ole reg dandelion but

up together, its different.

My dug up from the woods, 

Bee Balm.

How cool is that. The bee balm

I had at the other place had 

red blooms.

Now, this is growing right under

the edge of my deck and I refuse to 

weed it or cut it down.

It is a Bracken Fern.

They grow in wooded areas.

 

And another spot at the carport that

it grows. I thought I got all 

this moves last yr when I dug it

up and took to Theresa for her

shade garden.

These big leave ferns, also 

growing at the edge of the deck

are Sensitive ferns. 

I am taking these up 

the night before heading to 

Nashville for the 4th.

Therea said she would take more. 

Such a pretty color Morn Glory.

Now to share more of the yard, 

minus plants with you.

You have seen the water wagon,

But with the temps and humidity 

down, I have been able to get

somethings done.

This is what is behind the wagon,

the circled area are the two 

down spout things that come from 

the gutters on each side of the house,

under ground and out midway in the backyard.

The water comes flushing out and d

own to the woods where

the natural made runoff is.

But between the spouts, and the 

woods, that area gets slick after the 

rains and takes a bit to dry up. 

So, I have this area, grass removed, dug

out some, lined with rocks, next I 

will add the liner, and the river rocks

that will act as a dry creek bed, until 

it rains.

I started a walkway last yr that I 

got partly done. 

My first thoughts were to take 

it to the shed but since then, 

I have changed that thought

and the amount those rocks were costing!!

I decided the path needed to go 

to the area of the firepit but I 

would never get that done, and me not

being your matchy, mathcy, everything

the same, traditional person, I did my

own thing.

I decided it needed to all 

mismatched and different.

Just over look the other mess

around that area as I tend

to create more work to do with 

clean up when I do things.

But the pathway is done.

Next, I worked on the area

in front of the craft shed.

I decided I wanted grass in 

front of it, but that required moving 

gravel. Laying a border, and start

the grass. Still working there.

With that said, rain today, rain 

tomorrow and I am doing a garden 

crawl thing near Nashville with my ex hubs

cousin so I will not get work down.

Then come Sunday...

HEAT 

moves in.

Plus, I have lumber in the car to start 

my shelving in the living room,

and I sit and blog!!
