White PIcket Fence

Hello Everyone.

Hope you had a wonderful holiday weekend.  

Terry and I worked to get the picket fence put in out front of the house.

With moving in July it is hard to do too much to the outside of the house for this year.  

I wanted to show you my pinned ideas for a white picket fence and arbor.  

The inspiration pictures below are from Pinterest.

Then I can show you what we accomplished with our white picket fence and arbor.

I love this white picket with the cornflowers.  Cornflowers remind me of ballet dancers with their tutu's. 
I call them the ballerina's of the garden.

Lots going on with this white picket fence.
 Lots of color and varieties.

I feel the fence gets lost.

However the flowers are gorgeous.

This one with the Brown Eyed Susan's mixed in with day lilies .  So pretty.

A nice sweet little arbor and entry gate to this adorable home.  I hope my arbor will fill in by next Spring and Summer.

This arbor with the double gate and painted birdhouse is really pretty.

This is my inspiration for my white picket fence.
I love this look and hope to accomplish this look for my yard.

I want to get roses to climb on my arbor.

This inspiration picture reminds me of an old english garden.  So pretty and full.

I had to sneak this old English fence in just because it was cute.


Now here is the start to my picket fence.

I put a little wicker flower basket out on the gate.  I can see lots of fun things to hang on this gate for the holidays.

We added the arbor and then attached the gate to the fence so it swings open.  It will be fun to get something growing up the arbor come Spring next year.

 I planted on both sides of the fence. 

This way when it all fills in it will be thick and plush. 
Plus when I look outside I want to see the pretty too.

At this point and  it being so late in the season we will keep the fence just one section on each side going up into the yard. 

We can always add more in the Spring.

We planted double pink climbing roses.

With it being so late in the season I was surprised I could find a lot of perennials still available.

 Everything we put in should bloom until the first frost. 
Let's pray that does not come too quick.

I put in Shasta Daisies.

That big ugly dead tree to the left of your screen is being removed on Wednesday.  Not only are we happy to see the dead tree go so our my neighbors that have those thorny branches constantly all over their driveway.

I will have fun with this arbor and fence this Christmas with garland and lights. 
I will plant something that will climb up the arbor and over the top in the Spring.

The white picket fence plus some planting is in for the rest of what summer and fall we have. 

I cannot wait for it all to fill in next Spring and Summer. 

Hopefully at some point my picket fence will look like the one below.

Have a great start to the new week.
Hugs,
Kris
