Cedar panels and SinksI really should never have found Pinterest and Google Images. I am planning not one but two sink areas in the garden/yard. One will be near my potting area and the other near the veggie garden. I have some nice scrap boards I saved from rebuilding the cabin stairs, but need to have some decent weather to take power tools outside. These will be used for a surround for the old fashioned square sink. I liked the shape of the square sink for the garden. Am still on the lookout for a faucet for it. With a hose run to it and hooked up it should be handy for washing veggies and trimming flowers to bring into the house.

There will be no problem finding it a faucet. I will put it so that I can rinse my hands off outside. I am thinking this will be just too handy.

I moved all the pots, stakes, mesh, etc. behind the sheds late last summer. Since i was slowly collecting stakes, netting, etc from the garden all winter it is a real jumble back there. Messy potting area moved to behind the sheds ( photo / image / picture from Jewell's Garden ) We got two of the cedar panels up to hide some of the utility part of the yard. The area looked like this last year. ( photo / image / picture from Jewell's Garden ) With two of the four planned panels in place both Sweetie and I are very pleased. Less work cleaning mildew stains also. Lol, if I can't see it maybe it doesn't exist. Two panels up and two more to get installed ( photo / image / picture from Jewell's Garden ) The plants that were transplanted are filling in nicely in the new beds, although it is hard to tell from this photo. The ferns i cut back and hostas will make a huge difference once they leaf out.

good luck on finding a faucet for the square sink they are the old independent hot and cold each has their own spigot but you may just want to use a faucet like the kind on the side of the house just a thought
A nice pictorial this time, Jewell.
Williebb I was lucky enough to get the back metal pipe to hook up to a hose. I like your idea for the handles and faucet. It would definitely fit my budget and funky style. Our Habitat for Humanity Resource Store is excellent for finding used building and household stuff cheap. I love browsing there.
Jewell, It looks like your garden is off to a great start for the season! I like! Login or register to leave a comment. |
