Gardening Wear

If you haven't realized already tending to my vegetable garden in the country-side is a vital part of my life in the country, and while to some that may give you the idea that I'm just a down-to-earth girl who romps around in a jumper all day (and to an extent that may be true), I can't deny that I am unable to surpress that girl in me and do care what I wear and how I look.  So, for those fashionable gardeners out there here's a post on what you can wear while getting down and dirty.

Pictured below is a shirt of the band, The Who.  I myself have a good collection of shirts I've gotten at concerts, some of them are quite old and faded like the one below and really are not that good in condition to be worn out, though some girls would pair them with distressed jeans, boots and lots of jewelry and say "it's absolutely fab!"  Perhaps it could be, but I think they'd be even cuter for gardening.

The whole cut-off jean shorts thing is a must for gardening, I can't imagine gardening in anything else, besides it's very sexy in a 'that girl next door' kind of way.

And of course we mustn't forget to take care of our complexion, hence a nice big straw hat, but not too big to get in the way, we are gardening after all.

Accessoring Your Country Garden

As you probably already know I'm a pretty big fan of the garden, anything to do with gardening, I LOVE!  Thus, I bring you a post on things one must have to accessorize their garden space.  And it just so happens that Anthropologie had everything I needed, fancy that... Birdhouse to keep the birds a tweeting and at home, a vintage rustic pot to beautifully set the right tone and mood for a country garden and my favorite, the alligator claw pot stand for those friends with a keen eye to compliment how cute it is.

There Will Be Birds & Bees

From Anthropologie comes in varieties, 5 bombs per bag

As I know that gardening will be one of my main hobbies in my life in the country I must be able to count on the birds and the bees to do their duty.  I won't pretend that I am a horticulture expert, if that is indeed what they are called, but I do know birds and bees are very important to the on-going life of plants and things.
