Now It's Pretty

 
This ugly spot in the back garden, with necessary rain barrel for catching water from the roof, has been bugging me.  Can't do much about the furnace and dryer vents, and the only thing that would ever grow there is a bunch of scruffy day lilies.


So I fixed it.






Ah, much better! 
The rain barrel still needs to be up on bricks and a tap added near the bottom.  I'm on the lookout for some old bricks.



Here's a tour around the back garden, a mixture of veg, herbs, and flowers.






 That said, I do hope you have time to sit and enjoy the beautiful part of your world today!

    How nosey am I to enlarge your pics for a really good look? I love the watering can, they are quite sort after now over here and go for silly prices at some places.

    Thanks for the nosey.

    Green fingers eh? Certainly looks like you supply yourself with fresh vegetables
    and herbs. Enjoy the summer time in garden, actually here today (Brisbane) in the
    middle of winter, I will be sitting outside in the sun after I go to the "shearing shed" to
    have my "mop" cut short! I look like a 'wild man from Borneo" at present.
    More info. on the way - be prepared!! ha ha.
    Minnesota is such a great state to visit - in SUMMER!!! I loved my trips there.
    Cheers
