Here's the Sculpture Garden with a new addition under the category Garden Art. We went to several yard sales last Saturday and I came home with some pots and some garden art.
[A side note: notice not much growing in this bed. The hosta I planted which are supposed to be mammoth size are much smaller than I expected. I'm wondering if under the hemlocks is a problem or if the bed is just too dry? Gardeners out there please weigh in.]
Actually we came home with two of these - each $5. The second one below is in the Maple Garden.
Both are made by Planet Jr USA.
See more about the company here.
Found some on eBay selling for a lot more than $5!
They each has a different uses but don't ask me what. I think the one below is missing a smaller wheel and a seed cup.
More lilies opened up.
Also this lovely that Emily shared with me from her garden has produced blooms..
I have this volunteer plant. Beatrice though the blossom on my earlier post was a zucchini or squash.
Here's what's growing. Not sure what it is. The seeds came from my compost. It's so lush that I hate to pull it out though it crowds some new daylilies. I'm just curious as to what it is but need to keep it off the grass.

I like your cultivator garden art and nice company name of Planet Jr. made in the USA. I got a volunteer too, yours looks like a yellow zucchini.
...do you think that at $5 you may have overpaid?😀 Hostas often teach us patience, they need a few years in the ground and lots water to get established.
I'm surprised your hostas weren't bigger. They grow like weeds in Chicago. Your flowers are beautiful!
I think that's a yellow squash, but maybe not yellow gooseneck squash. Maybe the hostas want you to use those old tools and till the dirt around them? (Just a funny; not official knowledgeable advice.) Linda in Kansas
I haven't been to a garage sale this year....hmmm! Miriam says we need to have our own!
More time and water for the hostas. We have one of those little cultivators--actually bought it to use in the garden but it turned out easier just to hoe, Ours is now decorating the side of a barn.
Wow, your garden is looking great! I love the cultivators you got for only $5! What a deal. Sounds like things are going well for you. Hope next week is a good one for you. See you again soon!
I love those old cultivators. My sister had one. I'm always on the lookout. I think yours looks great.
Fun finds in the garden art department! Your flowers are beautiful and i think your hostas will spread and grow over time and fill the bed. They need plenty of water in my experience.
