    What a splendid addition to your garden Barb. It would be fun if you could ride up the garden center in it - I bet you would be plenty of stares :D

    What a beautiful piece of garden art Barb. I'm really looking forward to see what you plant it up with.

    Barb, that's great! Be sure to post a photo when you have it "planted"

    It will look better when it is relocated and the plants settle in. I am keeping it in the shade for a few days until the plants get acclimated. The seat can also be planted but I tried it and it seemed to take away the whole bike theme.

    Barb, I love it!! It looks great with the plants in it. I particularly like the look of the petunias "spilling" out of the back carrier.

    When is your garden open house?

    Please don't forget you said you'd 'give us a picture tour' when everything is ready. I'm really looking forward to it.

    The garden tour is the last Saturday of June,
    Cayuga Morning Mary.... lol. I didn't know they were petunias.

    2ofus, Yes, right now we are just beginning to bud out things but just before or during the tour I will make a movie like I did last year. I will also take lots of pictures during this Spring.

    Remember all that mulch??? We will begin to spread it out this weekend. Then things will change allot....

    I'm in awe Barb as I'm sure the touring people will be to. You have first place in my opinion. The bike is wonderful.

    That turned out even more beautiful Barb. I had silently wondered to myself whether you would plant the seat. I have to agree with you that it looks better unplanted.
