I was in need of some.
A walk deep into the woodland
yielded the shady tree dweller
that I was seeking.
This bit of mossyness was
out of my reach.
Aaahhh! Here is a perfect endower!
I gather my necessary portion...
...with the help of my companion.Now, with my coffers filled,
we return to assemble my conception.
I had a tiered wire basket (and a footed rectangular one)that cried out for some flowers.
I obliged!
I lined the baskets with the moss...
added some rich loamy soil mix...
some sweet shade loving Impatiens...
tucking the moss lined tiers full to overflowing
of the cheery blooms.
(An amazing Agate egg found alongside the treewhile collecting the moss. We live in an area named
Agate! I just had to gather this egg!)
Ready to greet all who visit us at
Cove Cottage!

We have plenty of moss in our side yard to harvest! :) I used some for my homemade upside down tomato planter I recently made! :)
Blessings!

Your baskets are beautiful...You've inspired me to look for moss in the woods behind my house. Linda
Oh, I just love this idea! I have some old wire milk delivery baskets I found on my grandpa's farm. They would be perfect for this. I just hope I can find enough moss to fill them! Thanks for sharing this. :)
Love the moss! Gorgeous pics!
No moss like that around here:( We have some itty bitty spots of moss in the shady areas under the pines, but that's it....
I love the idea, tho...the flowers are beautiful!
So very pretty!
Dear Lady Farmer,
What a wonderful thing, to have your own "moss factory" so close at hand. The agate egg is a true treasure, too.
Love,

Ohhhhhh, that is beautiful! Now I know why people are raiding the mountains for moss.
Not you, I didn't mean YOU...drats, I don't even have to leave the room to get into trouble.
I was visiting Aunt Esther this past weekend and someone went by with a Loaded truck and trailer with sacks and sacks. I thought it was trash and asked my cousin but he said it was moss. We couldn't imagine why but now I know...thank you!
