No wonder you are always creating such culinary delights, you have so much inspiration at your door!<br /><br />Poppy<br />Poppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08980323586402386609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-927889236153598968.post-75629778864428705512014-06-23T18:27:35.891-04:002014-06-23T18:27:35.891-04:00I love your little working garden and table.

(yes, our mockingbird sings in the middle of the night) to shake our magnolia, where the bird was evidently camped out. We finally figured out that turning off the landscape lights at night seemed to trick him into sleeping. :)Rita C at Panoplyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17351306074493103021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-927889236153598968.post-25650166554438412612014-06-22T10:56:41.597-04:002014-06-22T10:56:41.597-04:00Hi Yvonne!

My husband plans to move them to the garden too - hopefully, they'll do better there.<br />I love the potting bench! Now I'm trying to figure out where I could do something like that and have running water like you! Thanks to you, I found another DIY project for my hubby! :)<br />Shelia<br />www.houseofhighlands.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11642479863430272166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-927889236153598968.post-19736887662812310802014-06-19T14:28:22.875-04:002014-06-19T14:28:22.875-04:00Love it all as usual!

I so enjoyed looking through all your photos!!<br />That little area around the back side of your house looks so peaceful. A wonderful place to putter around and enjoy a glass of lemonade or peach tea. <br />LOVE that you used a salad bowl for a planter. It's genius . . . and gives so much character to your gardening space.

I've set up a potting bench in my garage, (no water though), and love having it for the spring seedlings. Galvanized buckets are the best, aren't they? Relatively easy to move around as needed because they're so light. I love mint too and usually grow mine mixed in a huge broken pot which I've sunk into the vegetable garden. I love chocolate mint. Have you tried that one?

The galvanized pails, the barrel, clay bowl, even some teacups waiting to be made into feeders! You have inspired me to gather them all up and create my own usable potting and herb area! Now if I could just get Maurie to run that plumbing for me :) Great inspiration! xoxoAndrea at Opulent Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00047846276519608281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-927889236153598968.post-71022639732743511832014-06-18T10:41:07.093-04:002014-06-18T10:41:07.093-04:00There is another one at the same place I got mine!...There is another one at the same place I got mine!
