    Uh, you already know I do!

    Ok. I've got a built-in accountability measure for completing my projects this weekend. It's a newbie over on the Beginner Veggie thread...

    1. paint the eCookies
    2. construct the wood cage
    3. fill the new veggie beds

    WE GOT NEXT:
    Find some wood to build that potting shed!

    Oooh, that's a nice one. I've been looking at plans. I have an old metal sink/cabinet in the shop and I'm debating moving it outside for a potting bench, but worried about how junky it might look. I was thinking if I added a roof like that and lattice sides that might hide it

    Wow!
    I just found this!
    I searched the web for about 2 years for a potting bench, and couldn't find what I was looking for.
    So I took a little from 2 or 3 different plans, and my husband help me build this! I still have to figure out how to get the water from inside the house to here, but I will!
    What do you think? How did we do?

    I like the size of it. As for water, you could run a garden hose for now until you can get a water pipe connected.

    Since you are in Michigan, you obviously will need to protect any water source against freezing, so more work, but worth the effort.

    You and your DH did a great job.

    Yes,it is a mirror. It was something I had seen in a flyer and tried.
    Here is a pic with a little bit better view.

    Very good bench you have there and has given me some ideas as well. Thank you very much. Will post them as soon as they are complete.
