Instead perennials are planted. Wildflowers are seeded, encouraged and ignored. The unwanted and undesirables are removed every so often. I end up with a cacophony of color.
Who knows where some of this stuff comes from. It just arrives.
But some devilish quirk in a gardener's genetic makeup is forever demanding more. More perennials get planted. More wildflowers get seeded, encouraged and ignored. Some of the unwanted and undesirables get removed every so often.
The cacophony grows.
A cozy little cabin is tucked below the roadside bed and the roadside vegetable garden with the wildflower surround. It peeks out as the world passes by.
It's no wonder that many people slow down or come to a stop while driving by on the scenic byway. How often do they see roadside weeds on steroids in somebody's front yard?

Your chaos looks much better than a scalped hillside. Love the colors of your day lilies.
The Cozy Cabin looks as if it were there always enjoying the beauty that surrounds it. The more the better.
How is Mom?
The soil up there must be magic. Those daylilies are gorgeous.

Wow, so much color, no wonder the cars slow down.
Your neighbor needs to do something about the fuzz in the ditch. A six foot wide swatch of brown Roundup-killed baredness would look much better.
Accepting chaos this time of year is for the good! Love the gardens. I would surely slow down and stop if I were driving by.
I was discussing with a western friend how on this side of the continent anytime the earth is disturbed or cleared, it takes no time for it to be quickly filled by new plants. You are fortunate to be present for the editing.
Sometimes chaos is disturbing, but the beauty of Christopher's Chaos can make people happy.
I wonder how many people who live in your area have changed their normal driving routes so they always pass your place?
