potting shed envy...

this is Jen's potting bench outside in her garden.......


It's so perfect nestled amongst the hostas with it's brick path........


actually, after seeing all her hostas, I now have 'hosta envy' too

I so hope that Jen gives you a guided tour of her urban farming......she has packed so much on her property....let's just say "the girl needs a farm"

her energy is mind boggling

I have met a few women like this in my life (I sound 90 right now)
and that always inspired me to improve upon this:


the bushes need trimming, the barespots need some alyssum seeds and I need to make sure I split up the iris, and plant some more here and there.......

I'm shutting down the rest of the day

too much on my mind

seriously

  1. I have tons of hostas and love them. They grow so full and are so vibrantly colored. It's nice that you can divide them up often.

    Her potting bench is wonderful nestled within her plants.

    Have a wonderful restful day, Anne Marie.

  5. Thanks for sharing Jen's potting bench and lovely hostas. My husband redid my potting bench last year and I don't know how I ever gardened without it.

  6. Hey Sis! I am going to make a potting bench this summer out of my old counter top from the bathroom.
    I'll put a cork in the sink drain so i can fill it up with dirt. Can't wait!
    Garden looks great as always.

  8. Hey Anne Marie! What are you talking about?? Your garden looks absolutely amazing! It flows so beautifully - and the colors are stunning! Don't be so hard on yourself. You have created a stunning sanctuary out there. ♥ Love Jen's potting table. I just brought my huge one home from our lake house (that we're stilllll trying to sell!). I'll be painting it (I think) to help preserve it - and I think I need to make it look "cute" with some clay pots and such. :)

  12. i know. i loved her garden bench. her yard is a little oasis. your garden is looking full and lush. if you look out your kitchen window and find me sitting and reading a book, don't mind me.
