I don't think I've shown you this spot yet. That old bench swing is a piece of crap, but, it's still sturdy. I really like this spot because you're surrounded by green and it's serene. It hasn't quite filled in yet, but, it's working on it. There's Heavenly Blue Morning Glories in abundance and when they bloom I'll take another picture of it, because it's so pretty. There's also Morning Glories and Cucumber's growing up the swing poles and some Virginia Creeper that showed up. And there's seed Tomatos behind the bench and Honeysuckle getting ready to bloom. I just mow around the vines and sometimes I pull out a few big weeds, like Ragweed, otherwise it's pretty wild. There's not much grass, it's mostly ground ivy. I really like it there and sometimes I take some coffee and a book out there and read. Have to kick all the cats off the bench, they like it out there too. Sometimes things are best left alone, you know? If I started buying fancy lawn furniture for this spot and weeding, it wouldn't be the same at all.

Now I want to get a swing for my backyard too!
wow...the whole yard is so beautiful, verdant and lush!
perfect for reading and just enjoying Mother Nature.... love it...
What's funny is that on all those tv landscaping shows people are paying for this look. The swing's perfect. Don't get a new one to replace it,cause it adds character to that space.
It's part of an old swing and it hooked by chains to an old swing set. It's junk. But, I like it there.
I agree with 10doll, don't replace it, that swing tells all kinds of stories!!!! Reminds me of that movie "The Secret Garden".....
I loved the secret garden. I guess everybody dreams of a place like that.
i planted some rose of sharons in a corner of the yard a few years ago and they are getting good sized now...when they are a little bigger i'll have a secret area of the yard!
