So Many Pictures, So Little Space

| | 3 Comments

I’ve taken bunches of photos of all sorts of garden related things. I think I need to give you all a peek.

This post is dedicated to my little town in Ohio. I walked around one evening a few weeks ago and snapped some things of interest to me. Hope you like them as well.

This particular side yard was interesting because of its comfortable little porch tucked in off the driveway. Although I’m not sure about the parking guides, it seems like a perfect place for morning coffee and evening people watching.


Now this High Victorian home has enough features for ten houses, but that is the way Victorians liked it. The above and next two pictures are from this home which gets more intense as you move back into the cottage home at the rear.


The two following pictures are a city display (I think, or it could belong to the home across the alleyway) of a moss horse structure and four vegetable beds. Perhaps the horse with its hitching post is a nod to the Amish who used live here in large numbers.

I immediately thought,”I’ve got to get a photo of that!” The veggie beds were very nicely done.

I have so many more pictures …

About Ilona Erwin

I was a garden blog pioneer, and began writing on this blog in 2003. Before that I had begun a garden website that has been at its own domain since 2006, Ilona's Garden.

I still love writing, gardening, and art after all these years, although travel and grandchildren have become a big part of my life, now.

    How great is that three tiered raised garden bed. Sitting on an angle gives it sections and it look better than straight edges.
    The horse is wonderful. Someone has put some work into it.I love porches of any kind.

    Great shots Ilona, they all have their own personality. I like to look at how other gardeners are doing things.

    Have a good evening,
