Poor Country Boy Gardening

Poor country boy gardening is when you want or need something for your garden and can't afford it. So you get creative on how to get it trading or bartering for it. digging it up out of an empty field or off the side of the road or a neighbors yard.

Been spying some beautiful hollyhocks on the side of the highway near my gravel road for a few days--finally just got a shovel and drove there and dug a few out! This site gave me the strength! lol

I still use my free wheel barrow that a fellow gave me years ago. I painted it dark blue. I got a big plastic one from my church family for my 49th bday a gal thought it was my 50th. She got everyone to fill it up with all kinds of gardening stuff & plants.

Yes Robin,  I do have hens and chicks in my littrle wagon.  When we were in our house and I had a much bigger yard I had the wheel barrell filled in my front yard too.  Now that I am in a trailor park I have a 12" wagon to fit the size of my yard.

Randy, what a clever idea.  I'll remember that one.

Julie how nice to have a pond that you enjoy so much.  It will be fun to twik it over the years.

Comment by Julie and Leo yesterday

My Love found this wheelbarrow on the side of the road with a "FREE" sign on it. Wish we would have taken a before picture of it. He brought it home, fixed it,painted it and then we planted strawberries in it. Now i have a Straw-barrow patch. I just love it. And we can wheel it anywhere in the yard if we want.

Down to 25 degrees last week-end. Now it's 80.  Go figure. So here are my poor boy walls of water.
