The Potting Table and Raised Bed Gardening

A new decoration for the potting table. Click the pics for a better look.


This was handmade in Canada by Kitras Art Glass.


This piece is called the Tree of Enchantment. Like trees in a forest. no two are the same, and each is a symbol of growth, strength and the cycle of life. This piece represents spring. You can buy the other seasons as well. The velvety greens of spring conjure images of the sparkling dew droplets on a newly blossomed garden. Look too closely and you may just fall into your own fairy tale! Blown glass fascinates me because I come from family of glass blowers.


I hung it just inside the top door on the bird cage.


I also found this tile by Roseville potters in Ohio.


Once again, this is all so very boring to my gardening assistant.


Another new addition is this miniature bird bath. I have some pots from this company too. I can't remember their name but they made wonderful garden pottery.


It sits on the right side of the potting table.


My Spring potting table. I love decorating this old table for the different seasons.


Today I am planting my raised beds. I did not have much success with these beds last season. I think they get too much shade. If things don't grow here this year I will take them apart in the fall. For now I am just planting lettuces and rhubarb.


After I built these, I sunk drip hoses just below the surface.


I screwed the hose end down with a "C" clamp so all I have to do is attach the hose, turn it on low and let the hose irrigate the bed.


I planted the bunny. He now holds a bouquet of violas and has creeping thyme on his body.


Two of my beds have built in tomato ladders.


It is almost time to start using the table for something other than decoration. I have a lot of serious potting to do.
