We MAY'd A Potting Bench

I've always wanted a potting bench.
I got motivated again after my trip to a
Delray Beach garden center HERE.

I picked this spot behind the house.

 It's hidden and shady.

Shady is very important in south Florida.

 The cast of bedraggled characters. Our old sink. I've saved it for years.

The picket fence that I've used as a headboard HERE and as a patio fence HERE.

Three discarded trash cans. One for trash, one for potting soil and one for compost. 

We re-used, re-clained, re-purposed, re-cycled, re-MAY'd !

The ugly before area.

Gentlemen, start your saws!

Cut a hole for the sink.

We decided to extend the top to cover all three garbage cans.

Added a shelf to the bottom.

 A good long work surface.

 We cut a hole into the top to scrape waste

right into the garbage can beneath .

 Testing it out.

I decided to stain the top and paint the rest white.

I stained the top with some leftover stain and several coats of poly.

Narrow shelves for pots.

 View towards the pool.

It's always nice and shady.
 We'll paint the rest of the wood white. Soon.

It gets a little breeze off the lake in the back.
This is what we call the Doggie Yard because it's fenced in for them.

I kept an old chair under the tree.

Lucy always likes to be close by.

 We added a new path with
Chattahoochee rocks and stepping stones.

We added new sod.

 Plenty of putter space.

MAY'd in the shade!

Cheers!
