My husband has been doing a lot of side work this Spring so the garden progress has been a little slow. The fence is up except for the horizontal boards across the top, bottom, and middle sections.
We have a couple more raised beds to build making it 8 in all with a space along the back for berries and perennials. We are using wood chips to fill the pathways between the beds. It is shaping up nicely.
We set this little weathered bird house on top of one of the posts and someone moved in right away! We noticed the twigs the very next day which was a nice surprise.
We will be adding a sign
above the screen door when I find the right piece of wood to fit the space.
We plan to cozy it up and soften the look by adding plants around the
border of the fence as well.
I am told by my neighbor that people walking by stop and ask her what we are building and why we are using a screen door! I think the raised beds will give it away now that they are built, don't you? As for the screen door....why not?? I have had it in the basement for a while now and decided it would be a neat addition to our outdoor space. We always seem to be doing things a little differently, but that's what makes it interesting, unique, and cottage-like. Trying to add charm and character to an otherwise plain space will draw attention I suppose.
