My Garden Visits: The Potting Bench

Nothing says spring like a potting bench. 

It may be too early to plant but it's never too early to putter!

Time to move all the junk that has piled up on it over the winter, 

scrape out the dirty pots, and prep for planting.

Soon the bench will overflow with flowers, clay pots and bags of dirt. 

It's the ideal place to warm up those lazy muscles, 

dig some things out of the garden shed and start planning the garden. 

My potting bench is homemade. A found window, some scrap lumber, a few accessories. 

It's the perfect size to fit in the little nook behind my garden shed. 

It's fun to hang up some old gardening tools

and display some vintage enamel pans with an old thermometer. 

Clay pots march across the top shelf, awaiting their orders.  

A cute little basket with tiny watering cans adorns the window.

A lower shelf is a good place to store some galvanized pans and more watering cans. 

My potting bench is prettier with packs of flowers 

waiting to be planted but it's still too early for planting. 

But it's never too early to dream.


P.S.  Just when I thought it was safe to go into the garden, Wham!
Another snowstorm hit the Rockies!
The mountains got up to four feet of snow so I guess we were lucky with about eight inches.
Still, it was a heavy wet snow and I hope my plants and trees weren't damaged.
