This is a wonderful blog page. I have already been back repeatedly over the past week and wish to join your rss making use of Google but cannot work out how to do it precisly. Would you know of any sort of instructions?

Megan: I like the sound of that convertible pergola…especially since it sounds more doable than many of my schemes.

I wonder when you see neat and tidy sheds, how on early people keep it so clean. My gardening areas, inside and out, always have traces of muddy shoes, gloves, tools, etc. I’m impressed you have a dedicated potting area. Mine tends to be my knee, or the back steps, and I make quite a mess that way.
I saw a really fancy setup the other day on A Gardener’s Diary. In summer, it was an open air pergola kind of structure where they planted non hardy plants in the ground, and in winter they covered it in plastic to serve as a greenhouse. It’s not a potting shed, but it did get me thinking about the interesting possibilities of that setup.

Jane: I can vouch for the pleasure it will bring, basic or not.

Now I know what I’m missing: a potting table. The day will come when I don’t want to bend to the ground to mix and mingle soils, plants, etc. This needs to go on my wish list. Kudos to you (and Richard) for making it happen, however basic it feels to you!

Karen: Much effort around here has gone into screening the neighbors’ eyesores. Looks to me like your neighbors have more to be thankful for than not.
Grace: We must keep the dream alive!
Wendy: I am honored by the award (a first for me). Hope I can be half as interesting as you.

A great place to hide and do your work!

I’m leaving you an Honest Scrap award. No pressure though!

Hi Ricki~~ Everyone needs a place to putter. I like the way the cedar boughs bow down, as if they’re really happy to have a significant job. Through the years I’ve assigned various areas for potting. Rather than a potting shed, per se, I want a real, live glass greenhouse. One can dream…

I don’t even have a potting area, so you are ahead of me! I just have unsightly piles of stuff lying around various places, I’m sure the neighbors are horrified! I like your table, that looks handy.

Loree: Once one moves to the country, everyone seems to suspect those suspect crops hidden away somewhere. But who needs hallucinogens, when there are agaves…right?
Keep dreaming! If you talk in your sleep, maybe Andrew will catch on.
