"A Wild Garden Home Tour At Kaniki's"
Hey there everyone.. Hope all is well.. I just grabbed my camera- to take with me to check the mail- so I could do some "wild garden" pictures.. Welcome to the homestead- hand built by me and my husband- and a few helpers along the way... Scruffy Hospitality at it's best- but we just love it...
Now- while most of you are out there planting gorgeous gardens- we here at the Franklin homestead- this year- have just kinda let things happen.. Yes- we have Hasta & Tiger Lily beds- and some Rhododendron like plants and some survivor trees- and well- an assortment of things - BUT- this year- we have had no time to do anything- so we figured we'd let mother nature surprise us.. And she never lets us down... :)

I just love this around the pole.. Our little Hasta and little Roto and a few other things have gotten a little lost- but look at those wild gorgeous greens, and what I call morning glory's- that kinda just took over our homestead when we moved in.. They really take over- and the ferns too.. And the morning glory's get full and from here till frost- they open and bloom everyday- close and night- and just keep on going.. I mow around this- because it's just so pretty.....

And how about some wild roses and pretty wild flowers on the side of the property... See- Mother Nature!!! Love that gal.....

And how about some up front pictures... We've got trees that made it- one that didn't- some beautiful hosta's and a window glass house- and a broken down wagon- that one of our hay horses pulls- and the donkey hitched a ride.. Lovely- but boy do we need to do some more around here.. For now- we're sticking with what we planted and that lovely lady- Mother Nature...

And believe it or not- we do have Hosta's and Tiger Lily's - in an oval in this quaint overgrown setting area... We have tall ornamental grasses growing on the ends- and we have good ol' Mother Nature- taking her part... Just love it... :)

And- my flower boxes made from old pallet's.. Need to get my red, white and blue sprawling Petunia's soon.. They look awesome when all filled out- and crawling up the wall.. Can't wait- it's on the list for this week...

As far as business goes... I'm working on my project for the Fall Issue of PNPS Magazine- and a few other things.. But shhhhhh- it's a secret- and I can't show you...
So - for now my friends- enjoy this day..
Blessings
