Don’t forget to follow Carlene’s cardinal rule of junk gardening:  “your yard and garden should be well maintained, manicured, mowed, clipped, etc.  If your yard looks overgrown and junky before you start you will not end up with a pleasing junk garden vignette, you will end up with a JUNKYARD vignette.  Big difference.”

Get over to Carlene’s at Organized Clutter then get into your garden and start planting.
