Boggy Creek Farm, Texas

Someone sent me the wheelbarrow image at left. I didn't know where it was, but it was easily discovered. It's what's left of a large farm from the early 19th century, and they have restored the farmhouse, which is one of the two oldest houses remaining in Austin, Texas. You can read more on their website, and also see what they are growing, and what they have for sale, in case you're in, near, or passing through Austin! Boggy Creek Farm History It's currently five acres, surrounded by residential homes, and there are bus stops. (click to enlarge)

This isn't new, but I missed it when it was new! Heather Booth sent this, from Whole Foods at the Demain, in Austin:

Wild cactus in Austin

Austin, 2011:

This one didn't seem to be planted, or art. The wheelbarrow's handles were broken, and I suspect it had been sitting there since a yard cleanup years ago, in which little cactus had been thrown in there to get rid of it.

It was out in the back with junk, but had turned itself to art, gradually, over the years.

I used the last image and the text of this in another post about a rusty wheelbarrow in Italy, with cactus in it. http://wheelbarrowthings.blogspot.com/2013/09/italian-rusty-with-big-rock-and-cactus.html, but today I found the other photos of this Austin wheelbarrow.
