Beautiful shed indeed!!

Thanks, Kosk, I love watched projects unfold!

Shed???!! People up here don't have houses that nice.

Fantastic yard work and design. Would love to have that much area and space around. I also have a neighbor, like right next door, in the top floor of an apartment. We are friends but yes, it does give me the creeps and makes me a little grumpy when she comments on something I have done, or when I left or whatever. Fortunately she works in the winter but then I am out there in the summer. Good thing I like her or I would really be peeved. No one likes to feel like there is someone watching them from behind a bush or a top floor or whatever.

Thanks everyone for the nice words.

Updated photos from today. The paths and small patio are now finished. Step up to shed is done. Compost mulched onto beds.

Only things left to do are:
1) stain the step
2) adjust the irrigation
3) and the best part---plant!!!!!!!!!!
4) (someday finish out the interior of the shed.)

Turned out great. I bet your boys will take that over and make a fort.

Beds are getting filled with plants. Mostly perennials, shrubs, and bulbs. I'll fill with annuals, probably mostly snapdragons and zinnias, soon. It takes a lot of plants to fill these beds. I can't wait to see them in 2 years. For orientation, the chickens have a large run located behind the picket fence. They are enclosed in this area. I retrieve eggs from the end of the red coop where their nest boxes are located.

WOW! love it. Those are some really big beds to fill. What will you grow on the arbor?

Stephanie, that has really been a great project to follow. Thanks for the update with it all planted out -- I look forward to many more photos as it fills in! Gorgeous.

love watching progress

It looks wonderful can't wait to see it with the annuals planted.

No new progress, but I can't resist posting this pic of the poppies going full bore now in the foreground of the shed. (Poppies are actually separated by lawn from the beds in front of the shed.) Pic 2 shows the same poppies where they are actually located….in a greenhouse bed.





And this last pic shows the orientation of the shed, greenhouse, and spiral rose garden.

So beautiful, not that I expected anything less!

The poppies are gorgeous! WOW!!!!

Wow, just lovely! Love the formal circular rose garden!

THAT. Is. Just. Breathtaking! Congratulations.

Thanks!

Beds are filling in






To see other pics of my flowers from this morning, please see July thread in Pacific NW forum. Thanks for looking. I rarely have visitors to our home, so it is a pleasure to show my hard work to people who share my passion.

Quite amazing what you have done this spring. It is really paying off as summer progresses. Great job!

Your echies are pretty, in a few years they will be a stand out.

Just gorgeous.
