"Brain Tower" by Almacan almacan.deviantart.com
With the lay of the land in mind, we have been thinking quite a bit about what we are going to plant where, then last night I had an oddly specific idea for one of the gardens.
Inspired by the crossing of elegant sophistication with futuristic science fiction, steampunk is an acquired taste to be sure. The image to the left is a good example of the look it exemplifies, as does the popular ’60s television show “The Wild Wild West”. Even still I couldn’t help but to wonder just what I could do with a steampunk themed garden right here on the homestead.
That’s why this will be the first decorative theme-centered garden of 2011.
We are also terribly excited to see the first sprouts in the new salad bed that is planted with an eclectic mix of salad greens. While there are numerous other veggies and flowers sprouted and growing well, these tiny starts give us the promise of being the first home grown food that we will be able to eat this season and as we’re both particularly fond of fresh salad, that’s going to be a good day indeed.

Way Cool and I’m looking forward to watching this creation grow!
I love it! I never thought of doing a steampunk garden theme … this is brilliant!
Awesomeness… I need to dig around in the junk pile here and see what I can scavenge and rig in my garden this year.
