My plan this morning was to go out and spend some time in the garden shed sorting through all the landscape supplies that I already have, and making a list of the ones that I need. Even though the summer season is almost over, I plan to begin a small winter garden soon and need to know what I have plus what I need. Unfortunately, when I looked outside this morning, it was...

Yesterday we were at mom and dad’s and decided to clean out their garden shed so we could toss out some of the old stuff that no one ever used. Mom and dad are both getting a little older and neither my brother nor I find it necessary that they do things like clean out the garden shed, or do their own home and garden work. They did supervise the clean out and told us what to... Read More

A few days ago I was online browsing for some new landscape supplies when my daughter came in the room. She asked what I was doing, and I told her that I was looking for a few things to get the yard ready for winter. This was my first year for attempting gardening and landscaping on my own, and I am still trying to collect all the necessary landscape supplies that I need. It... Read More

When we moved into an old home we bought to fix up, the first thing I noticed was that we really should probably tear down the garden shed out on the side of the house. My husband was in completely disagreement with me about the garden shed and felt that we could use it for storage until we actually built a new one. I thought about his idea and realized that even though the... Read More

My brother and I stopped in for a surprise visit at mom’s this past weekend and we were surprised at the gardening lawn care. I knew mom had been sick and the heat had been so horrible that she hadn’t been able to get out and do much herself, but my brother and I thought she had someone doing her gardening lawn care for her. Obviously that wasn’t the case. The yard was a... Read More

When we moved into our new home, one of the things that the kids took a liking too right away was the garden shed. It was old and a little run down, but it was structurally sound so we knew a fresh coat of paint to the garden shed would do wonders. What I didn’t expect was that the kids would clean out the garden shed within our first week of moving into the new house and use... Read More

Earlier in the season I ordered some new landscape supplies for my husband and he really got busy in the yard. It actually surprised me since when we live in our other home I was the one who always took care of the lawn and garden stuff, but he assured me that this house would be different and so far it has been. He came in one afternoon after spending hours out by the garden... Read More

I was at my parent’s home a few days ago and dad asked me to get something out of the garden shed for him. He was busy taking care of something in the yard, so I dashed off to the garden shed to see if I could find what he needed. I should have known I wouldn’t have any problems, because I know how perfect dad keeps everything in the garden shed. The tool was lying exactly... Read More

I never, in all honesty, used to be that neophyte for caring for my home and garden; I always had a reliable service that I spent some hard earned bucks on to have a great home and garden. But things greatly changed for me after moving into my new house in Tempe and really having to cut down on all of my monthly expenditures. I started doing my home and garden work on my own....

My husband and I live in the city, so our yard is practically nonexistent. For several years now, I’ve wanted to have a small garden for fruits and vegetables but it was impractical with our small yard. This year, we found an area where we could actually rent a small piece of land that is specifically for gardening. I bought a small garden shed and then went online and... Read More

For about a year now, I’ve been collecting angels and while they were first only part of the home and garden décor in the living room, I can now officially say that they are part of the décor by the garden shed. I can thank my husband for the beautiful statue that he found while being away on business. It is large and very heavy, but he bought it and drove six hours to make... Read More

I have a friend who has started a small gardening lawn care business and he called a few days ago to ask my help. He said he’d been using a commercial lawn mower but that he’d like to purchase an electric lawn mower for some of the smaller jobs and also trim work. He’d priced them at several stores locally but said that he couldn’t afford to pay what they were asking since he... Read More

I love fresh fruits and vegetables this time of the year and I was reading in my favorite home and garden magazine and picked up a few ideas about how I could have a great party in the next couple of weeks centered on fresh fruits and vegetables. At first, I thought it would be fun to have a BBQ, but we just had one for the 4^th of July and I wanted something different. The home... Read More
