Dreaming of Pumpkins

I just got my Jung Seed Catalog and I was thrilled to see many amazing pumpkin varieties.
Here are a few I would like to try.
The first one is called Batwing. It is a bicolor type orange and very dark green which looks black.
The middle variety is called Cotton Candy. A very pure white.
Last but not least is a Superfreak variety called Goosebumps.

Hollyhock Blacknight

Blacknight is a perennial Hollyhock which was developed in Germany.  I love it. Every haunted garden needs some black Flora.

Whimsical Garden Decor

Saw these whimsical plants over at the blog, Merlin's Magickal Mistress and just had to share with you!

These are globe flowers made from chicken wire, painted and then mounted on stakes.

And these enchanting mushrooms are made from thrift store finds of glass vases and bowls.

Both would be easy to make and add so much fun to a garden!

They have a great sense of humor

cause this has to be the coolest display in a botanical garden.....ever!

Happy Fall from the Haunted Gardens!

Cucumber Folklore

Hi everyone I have some fun folklore for all of you. According to folklore you need to have a naked man plant your cucumber seeds on May 1st. I think a couple days is plenty of time to find a fellow to help you out! Happy May Day!
