Organizing the Garden Shed

The garden shed has been finished for months now, but I have been so busy in the garden that I haven't had time to get the inside organized. So, I devoted an entire day to this task, and I actually enjoyed it! I wanted to create a cozy inviting place to sit and read, or hide, for taking pictures of the birds as they visit the garden for a tasty treat. I also wanted it to be functional, so that I can attend to my gardening projects such as repotting, starting seeds and overwintering some of my plants. I have a few more things add, but for now I think it will do.

Love your bottle tree with its jewel colors. Iowa Gardening woman has a similar one. They are so pretty! Couldn't see a spot to comment on it, so I am doing it here. Hope you don't mind.

Gorgeous. I'm jealous. And admiring. Mostly jealous, though. I'll work on it.

Love your garden shed! What a fantastic place to regroup and get away from it all. You've inspired me. My garden shed is an ugly, dark ramshackle place that I hate to go into. Now I've got some great ideas to change all that! Thanks.

Thank you for the interesting post. Steel Garden Sheds are the newest trend in market. They are easy to set up and long lasting. Furthermore they are a great money saver.

What a wonderful garden shed...I want one! Decorated so sweetly and everything so organized. I love this, but I can't put something like it in my yard due to the Homeowners Associations RULES:( I can't get past them...they are like spies:( I can't move because we can't afford it!! I love my home, though...so wouldn't want to go elsewhere; just 'sayin'...

I see now why gardeners or non-gardeners are so into garden sheds. They are just lovely to have one and the homey feeling seeing those sheds is just so comforting and warm.

Today is a regular off day for me so I decided to head on over to Blotanical and see whats been going on. I have met so many kind gardeners there, and everyone has something to share, so many helpful ideas and tips to use in the garden. It seems every day several more new garden blogs appear, and this is a good thing. It means that people are searching for something more, that they feel a desire to get back to nature and all that this wonderful earth offers us. We get so caught up in the day to day grind that we have somehow forgotten along the way what it is to relax and do things that we enjoy. Gardening is such a rewarding form of relaxation. Now I didn't say that there is no labor involved, because I am here to tell you that you will get your workout, hauling dirt and rocks, compost and mulch. Not to mention all of those plants that you just bought, you will probably at the least make 3-4 trips around the garden trying to decide the perfect spot. Then you have to dig all of th

The Garden Journal

I began keeping a garden journal several years ago, It was just a regular journal with blank pages. I kept a record of my purchases and receipts. I noted rain dates and frost dates. I refer back to it from time to time. I often forget about plants that have gone dormant, until in the spring when I get out digging around and my spade strikes a bulb. Then I remember. A journal helps me with that as well. I found a wonderful journal from Lee Valley Tools, and my mother surprised me with it for my birthday! ( I just haven't had time to post about it. shhh ) , Any howsey, it is a beautifully crafted 10 yr journal with 541 pages. It has no pre printed years, so you can begin it at any time. I was so thrilled with it, I just had to share .
