Do you have a dedicated garden shed? Store things in your garage? Or ?? This is built on top of our underground well house. It was used for storage by the past owner. I grabbed dibs on it for my garden shed- sorry hubby- (I was just faster in a vision  ... we built his workshop after we moved in)   |

Do you have a dedicated garden shed? Store things in your garage? Or ?? A corner on the back porch. I do not go into the yard without carrying a hoe. If I do, I'll be sorry because I'll see a weed that needs to be whacked and will not have a tool to do it. I always carry a hoe when going to the mailbox. |

Wow. That's taking a hatred of junk mail to a level I've never heard of before. I also remove road litter, road kill, and fast food trash with that hoe. It is dangerous to pick up a bag or box of fast food scraps. May be full of fire ants. Carrying a hoe is such a habit that I feel undressed without it. It's also protection against venomous snakes and rabid raccoons. Also good for raking turtles off the road before they get squashed. One can do a lot of good with a hoe. |

desertwoman , sigh....I would love a shed like that.
My tools are all in my garage. I've thought about trying to get a permit to install a shed, but then I'd probably fill it up and need yet another shed!
But my garage is also filled with boxes of things I brought home from my sister's as there were some items I just wasn't up to going through for disposition. That includes about 20 boxes of books!
Some of the most tantalizing sheds I've seen are on the covers of the Country Garden magazine issues.
I notice you have wind chimes hanging from the roof. They must produce such a lovely sound when the wind blows. I'd like to put some on my porch, but I'm afraid they would get stolen. |

I keep a lot in a 10x12 shed, but also a bunch on shelves on my back porch - it just wouldn't all fit in the shed, especially after recently buying the lawn tractor. I had to put something to hold a lot of things overhead; fortunately, I can reach that stuff! I have the same thing to hold a bunch of things on the back porch, as well as overhead in my basement.

sigh....I would love a shed like that. I know! I felt the same way before we landed on this property and I saw that shed. I knew, immediately what it was going to be used for. A dream come true. Up until then I stored my tools in a corner of a storage shed with lots of other stuff. I've never had a garage so the storage shed acted in its' stead. We have two sets of wind chimes on the property. They are Woodstock Wind Chimes and are created based on ancient musical scales, so they make music- not just sound- that can't be played on todays instruments. One of our sets is Chimes of Lun based on the pentatonic scale of ancient China and also Chimes of Olympos (Ancient Greek pentatonic scale). We've had them since the 80's and they sound as beautiful today as they did when we first got them. |

I do not have a dedicated shed but I am going to build one soon. I would like it small and essential so I can't hoard garden stuff in there. I am so tired of sorting out garden paraphernalia I have had for years thinking some day it will come in handy--but it never does. I know better now, so , like reuben says, it's time to simplify. |

desertwoman, I need to find some wind chimes like you have. They seem so delightful, and so unique. I love the sound of wind chimes anyway. Their music creates a very special type of serenity.

Garage is where I store garden stuff. Tools on the walls. Most everything else up above, for which a ladder is required to access. Works well for now.

I have three different outbuildings. The big tractor goes in the one largest shed, the small lawn tractor goes in another shed along with a bunch of other odds and ends, then there is a smaller shed full of garden tools. Hoes, rakes, shovels etc.

I'm considering using a shipping container in my garden for storage or workspace. Interesting idea. At my previous Community Garden we used a shipping container as our shed. The only issues were heat in the summer, it became an oven, and floor boards rotting out. A swarm of bees made a hive through the corner casting openings in the roof. Not an issue for me, but the city saw it as a potential liability. |

I have one of those plastic rubbermaid benches that a neighbor gave us. The seat opens for storage. I cleaned it up the other day and put a plastic box with a lid in it and keep my garden tools in that. I have the old greenhouse next to the garden which is used as a shed. Too many mice and chipmunks to grow anything in it.

Small stuff stays on the porch in a large lidded garbage can. Tools go to the shed where there currently isn't any rhyme or reason to organization.
