I love garden junk!

I love old rusty garden junk! It is so much fun to jazz up the garden with pieces like this old garden fork. It holds my faded old wooden Home Sweet Home sign.


I found an old fishing fork (center) in our garage that was used by Jos' dad many, many years ago. I thought it was a shame that Jos wanted to keep it but never sees it sitting in the garage. Then we went to a thrift shop and found another garden fork  and a hoe. Both were all rusted and have beautiful old wooden handles. Jos bargained for them at only 1,50 euro for both and brought them home to hang on our fence.


It is fun to add things that give an old fashioned look to the garden.
