• Today our Sunday roadtrip led us on the backroads down to the river where we found this bar which wasn't actually an establishment, but the owner invited us in for a beer....now that was fun! Then we found this amazing fence! It went around a very large property, so cool! #roadtrip #platteriver #nebaskathroughthelens #nebraskaitsnotforeveryone #rusticdecor

  • Some #tankgarden photos. I have four different colors of volunteer petunias. 🤔 I'm pretty sure I only had two kinds anywhere in the garden last year. They must reseed differently from hybrids. I've been anxiously waiting for the tire #portulaca to bloom. #flowergarden #fleamarketstylegardening #fleamarketstyle #flowers #flowersofinstagram

  • Winning combo in the garden right now, #bellsofireland #larkspur #salvia and #rudbeckia. Thrifted that little stitched piece a couple of years ago and it hangs in my laundry room. So true. #bouquetaday #freshflowers #flowergardening #flowergarden #fleamarketstylegardening #bouquet

  • I would love help identifying this flower. A friend sent me the seeds and she does not know what it is. I was sure it was soap wort after looking online, but now dont think it is. It reseeds so easily! It's just beautiful and I'd be happy to share seeds this fall. One distinct feature is that it has a sticky band around the stem. I cut a few stems and they lasted at least a week with no preservative. It seems to be happy in all conditions as I have it growing in a number of places. I used Plant Snap app also without success in identifying it. #nebraskagarden #tankgarden #whatfloweristhis #helpidentify #pinkflower

  • Two more poppies! And they aren't droopy! Such a neat flower and I'm looking forward to the seed pods. The other day, I added two rakes and a broken pitch fork as trellises for my cypress vines. They volunteered abundantly this year! The pitch fork broke when I tossed it out of the loft of the barn in a either use or get rid of it day. When it broke I thought Well, I'm getting rid of it Then I needed a brace to hold back the Goldenrod that was flopping and I grabbed a piece of the broken tines. Perfect! Then as I was trying to decide what to do with all the volunteer Cypress Vines I realized the other piece would work perfectly to let vines crawl on. Oddly, I like it better broken than whole. Gives it character. #lifeismetaphor (Edited to correct that these are Cypress Vines , not Cardinal Vine, so similar and of the same genus) #tankgarden #poppies #cypressvine #fleamarketstyle #fleamarketstylegardening

  • Callisia Speces, Bolivian Jew, Turtle Vine, Chain Plant, Inch Plant This houseplant which I have called a miniature Wondering Jew is actually a succulent. I just looked it up online to see what it is actually called and found this: Callisia Speces aka Bolivian Jew, Turtle Vine, Chain Plant, and Inch Plant. Whatever you know it by, its wonderful! I've moved it in and out now a for a number of winters, but I'm pretty sure it's the first time I've brought it to the tank garden. One year I accidentally dropped some of it off the deck and noticed it a couple of months later rooting and still alive. So now this year I tossed some under the deck in case I'd want to plant up another container. Today I went and grabbed it; you can see the clump of mess I had. Pretty sure it will grow well though. I put it in this little coffee can. (I added more sprigs after I took the photo) I planted the chicken feeder at the end of May and its filled in beautifully. Little pieces I dropped are rooting in the bottom! Such a great plant! #callisiaspeces #bolivianjew #turtlevine #chainplant #inchplant #tankgarden #flowergarden

  • Good morning! I got a bit long winded in my stories today showing you my shade garden and Sculpture Garden that has no sculptures. Over the past three years I've slowly been working on that space. My husband and son first helped me clear out so many trees and bushes that had overgrown the yard. As we cleaned it up I could see so much potential. It will give you a whole different perspective on how a person can keep a garden. #tankgarden #gardening #fleamarketstylegardening #fleamarketstyle #flowergardening

  • #marshmarigolds are new to me this year. A #nebraskanative and beginning to bloom! I understand them to be an annual and should reseed themselves. I got them from @midwest_natives_nursery in Lincoln. Second photo: I have a hodgepodge gathered this morning to arrange later. The first fruits for many of them. . #tankgarden #fleamarketstylegardening #fleamarketstyle #flowergarden #nebraskagarden

  • A few garden shots. I wanted to get a picture of the #spottedloosestrife before it's done. It's become one of my favorite plants. Super adaptable and long blooming. I have a #nasturtium bloom! Also I found some really healthy #lantana at 50%off. So just planted some of them. I've never grown it and why not?? The color is pretty and deep. I hope I can keep them blooming. I have five of them. I dont know if they are tricky or not. A few more sweet peas are blooming too. The last picture is my mystery flower that I just love! It's hard to tell the scale in the picture but the blooms are very small. This is the first plant to begin blooming. I have them planted everywhere. A friend sent me the seeds and she didnt know what they were called. Please chime in if you know. The grow from seed easily! 🌼🌿🌻🌷 #tankgarden #mysteryflower #flowergarden #fleamarketstyle #fleamarketstylegardening
