Darlene’s garden in South Dakota

Today ’s photos are from Darlene Thorson . She says,“Greetings from the Black Hills ! We survive on one of the busiest streets and in an older area ( not historical ) in Rapid City , South Dakota . It ’s a mostly unkempt neighborhood . We hope to encourage others to know that it does n’t matter where you live , it ’s what you put into it , and even possible on a limited budget .

“ We have converted most of our lawn sphere to perennial , grasses , and a few more trees . Our zinnias ( started from seed ) are our favorite yearly , with some reaching six ft tall by the end of the growing time of year . We added a vegetable garden area ( now with raised beds ) to the right of the zinnias .

“ Our residential district is very proactive in reform and recycling . We have grand compost available at our landfill for unbelievably low price . We tot up rainwater barrels to our home and nursery in late summer . Our pergola has a hidden clothesline with four line of work , each sixteen feet long ( shown in the winter exposure ) . We have our own red wiggler worm bin for composting kitchen scraps and also added a bin for gravid fishing worm . We are really looking forwards to give and summertime after go through wintertime storm Atlas ! ”

Those veggies , Darlene – so wonderful ! And those zinnias are ridiculously felicitous . Thanks so much for sharing your garden with us ! * * * That piss 49 states we ’ve feature ! ! Tomorrow we ’ll confabulate our 50th state – Mississippi !
