Garden Progress.

It was a very busy Sunday yesterday. We were up early and headed down the highway to rent a gas auger to put the fence posts into our little garden plot. It took most of the day, with a dear friend of ours helping, but we got in all the posts that we had planned out for the day. We have a few more to do for the gate but have to get the rails cut to size and a few more in the front garden for our Arbor, wing fences and gate. So grateful for the cloudy day with a bit of a breeze. We had a heat advisory last week so it was a gamble to do this on Sunday but turned out to be just the right weather. Today it's rainy, chilly and a bit gloomy. I'm thankful for a day to rest and do small jobs around the cottage. I did take the auger back, then headed in to town to get a few groceries, some gas and stopped in to chat with my staff.

We changed the location of the garden from in front of the shed to beside it. It wasn't going to work to attach it to the potting shed liked we hoped, so we came up with this idea instead. It took me until mid afternoon to decide that I was going to like it and by the end of the afternoon I had already planned out a grassy area with a flagstone path and a sitting bench and more trees in front of the shed. I can see it becoming a favorite spot in time.

Shed Placement.

Now that we have made the decision to

purchase the vintage wooden shed, we

have to decide where on our land it will

be placed. A very big process to endure.

This is what our original plan has been all

along. Our white picket fence around our

garden boxes, with paths to walk around

and some type of statue right in the middle.

Now we're thinking about "attaching" the shed

to this idea. Almost like it's own little garden.

We were going to place the shed near the tree line

but after our big wind storm last week, that changed.

The more we think on this new idea, the more we

get excited about putting it all together. I think it

will look so sweet to have a vintage wooden shed,

looking out over the garden, with a white picket

fence surrounding it all. Very English, very Country.

And the dh says "very practical" ~ he is very smart.
