At the bottom of the garden tour is a session I ran early this morning—nothing scary. Thanks to Super Subscriber Rhiannon for alerting me to the volume. I can increase volume on my computer. I didn’t with this one because it seems to come through okay. I talk a little louder in this session. Everyone should be awake by now and so what if they listen in, maybe the like it. Maybe they become a subscriber and upgrade to paid. Unlimited possibilities here.
The session is about tell-a-vision. Before you get to the session take a garden tour. There’s a strong chance I will be hosting the first ever garden tour in my city sometime in June or July. I’m excited about it and want to create an amazing garden experience for everyone. A few years ago I threw it out on my city garden Facebook with pictures of my garden and received about 1500 likes in an hour with hundreds expressing an interest to attend the tour. I didn’t do it because I didn’t want people strolling my garden in a mask. F-that.
In the above picture you can see Guns N Roses box. My JFK rose bush died this winter. This is the first rose bush I have lost to a winter. What does that tell us? In my world it means something. I have a replacement JFK along with a Marilyn Monroe bush that will go in beside him. Those will go in this weekend. Very excited about both.
At the bottom of the box you can see it is bordered by creeper. It is quite possible that our enemy is creeping on the VRR. It was voted number #1. I don’t do much enemy creeping other than Wa. State Gov & Wa. State Public health imposters. I find both to be deeply disturbing, but it’s my job. It is the VRR. Without these creepy monsters there would be no VRR.
Every year I wrestle with a decision, border creeper around the boxes or no creep. No creep is a clean look. The creep, creeps through the pavers and it kind of hides them. Also, note the tripping step. I mentioned it in a session. It’s a toe smasher. African head that you see will have a new permanent home today. It will mount on the other side of the box opposite of Das Blummen bird Haus. I really like the color that it provides. Also, there is a lot of African music that gets streamed into ghost gardens throughout the year.
Das Schrein
I was hauling old scrap would to the back of the garden and got tired and dropped it here, and then an idea popped into my head and Das Schrein was born. The two garden Reaper scythes I purchased on CL a few years ago. They move around the garden depending on current events and my mood. It’s kind of a mess now, but I’ll get the VRR staff to clean it up. They sometimes do what I tell them to do.
As you exit the garden on the east side you pass through the world famous Bird Howc Bar$$. It is the only bar in Wa. State that remained open during all of the CV19 lockdown bullshit. Management said fuck you governor Inslee, Fauci, Trump and refused to follow any of the CV19 risking the lives of everyone who dared enjoy a drink there. What a fucking asshole.
Birdhouse shown to the left was built this winter. It is the Amy Winehouse. A fucking squirrel at the entire face off the house and a complete re-build had to be done, although I must say the repaired version looks pretty damn cool. Thus far it hasn’t been leased out.
I built this clock house because we needed a clock across from the hot tub. I had a few too many glasses of wine when I put the numbers on. The little blue bracelet on the left is special to me. It belonged to my mother-in-law and she passed away in 2016. She loved Ghost Gardens and numerous items of hers are spread throughout the garden.
This blurred house is the only one currently being rented at the moment. It is a house I didn’t like. Put it up just to irritate myself and then some renters moved in—Chickadees, on the lower floor. I did see them exploring both upper and lower so why did they choose the bottom?
This is the Pendulum house. The pendulum is swinging back our way. I can feel it.
The garden fountain had a leak in it. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! It only took me three days to repair it. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! I ran it straight for two days and no leakage. Yahoo and Google too.
This is the chair I mentioned in one of the sessions. I love it. It is around 150 years old. I often wonder about all the people who might have sat in it and enjoyed this chair. If its raining out, and I do a session, it will be done here looking out over the garden. The ball and chain is authentic. It is from time period 1900-1920. I also wonder about the people who had this fastened around their ankle. I’d LOVE to attach it to the ankle of RocHELLe Walensky. Pllleeeeease God.
I mentioned on this SS when the paranormal explosion happened on Nov 19 2016 the spirits would make a sound in the garden that sounded like a cowbell. I recorded it hundreds of times. Sometimes, there would be a class A EVP with it and they’d say, “Wake up Mike. It’s time.” I found the old cowbell in an antique shop in Port Townsend Wa. I had to have it. There is a very interesting story to the hats attached but those stories are too long to go into. The pillow shown came from England. A family member knows I am into crows. It is hand painted. I love it. Also, I shot some video of me and a crow yesterday that I will eventually post here.
This concludes the Ghost Garden tour. I hope you liked it. I hope it inspires you to start a garden and of course I’m available to answer any garden questions you might have. If I don’t have an answer I just make it up.
Below is the session I did this morning. Peace, love, happiness and all that jazz.
Absolutely brilliant!!! You are extraordinarily creative and I'm thinking that the covid fiasco has resulted in you doing exactly what the universe intended for you to do which is to create and then share with others. Your garden is spectacular and it's wonderful that you love and share it with a variety of critters. You have an amazing, wacky brain and I always look forward to the VRR.
Very impressive garden!
I tried and loved the gardening down here in Houston a few years ago.... got started in 2019, then spent a lot of time on it when these idiots told us we all had to stay home/stay safe or we were gonna all die! I remember huffing wheelbarrows of mulch into the back yard while thinking --- can this really be happening? are we entering the apocalypse? collapse of society? Then my retired investigator buddy and I started, well investigating, and seeing all the videos of empty hospitals that were supposed to be brimming with dying covid patients. needless to say, we caught on to the scam pretty quick.
Tried to keep the gardening going but found it too difficult during the summer because the damn heat burned up the plants, then we would get to winter and these freezes (global warming at its finest) would kill all the plants down to the roots. eventually gave up...
but it seems the weather up your way just may be a bit more cooperative --- I recall seeing some beautiful gardens when we lived up there on some island in the Puget Sound....Victoria? Was a long time ago.
anyhow,. appreciate your tireless work in this war!
