FWIW, every couple of years the gray vinyl siding on the north side of my house develops a greenish tinge. Cup of bleach in two gallon sprayer and it goes away. Gorgeous garden and estate, BTW. Ev

I wasn't posting last year, but my resolutions were to: 1. Spend more time in the garden, not just to work out there, but enjoying it (COMPLETE) 2. Design a pretty spot to help hide the utility trailer that we have (COMPLETE) 3. Redo the front fence so the utility trailer isn't sitting on the driveway and in the pretty spot (INCOMPLETE) 4. Fill out back bed with plant materials (COMPLETE) 5. Create a veggie garden (COMPLETE) 6. Gate off around the back of the shed so the dog doesn't run at the garden at full tilt from behind (INCOMPLETE) Overally, my garden got a lot of use last year. I had tea parties with girlfriends, birthday parties for my hubbie and stargazing parties with friends. I was able to build a veggie garden and with the remaining soil (I way over estimated) was able to build a mimicking flower bed (with no plants yet) on the other side of the patio. I bought over 100 plants to fill in my garden over the year (we have a local grower that sells any plant, all plants for $5 in a 1-gallon pot so I didn't manage to break the bank too badly either). My husband got into the veggie gardening and has told me that it's off limits to me now...LOL For this year, I want to finish all the things I didn't get done from last year as well as filling in the new patio bed and rearranging my front deck and putting new gardens around it (whether or not I fill them this year is yet to be determined). I have some expansion plans in mind for the back, but again, I'd like to have them dug over in the fall ready to be filled for the next year....excited to see all that 2011 has to offer.

Hi @ my Annabel. I too am unclear about the shed meaning here. Do you wish it to be a normal garden shed that can be used as a cover for the harsh sun? Or do you intend to ask about sheds that can be alternatively used as a storage? Ideally people make use of garden shed as a storage for shelves and hooks and other gardening equipments. In case you have a bigger space for building the shed, you can alternatively use one as an outhouse for your convenience. If you provide a little more details on this topic, may be we can get better clarity and provide better ideas for your garden shed.
