Create An Outdoor Kitchen Next To Your Organic Garden

Posted by admin on May 17, 2011 under organic garden

Wouldn’t you like to spend more time outside in your organic garden?organic garden

So much of our time is spent inside preparing meals for our family and friends. And when those friends and family members do come over, we spend much of our time in and around our kitchen. So, my husband and I decided to build an outdoor kitchen and living space right next to our organic garden.

People love to eat outdoors’ especially if you live in a scenic area. There is just something about it that seems to make your food taste even better.

When planning an outdoor kitchen, there are a few things that you need to decide on first. Where are you going to put the kichen? How big do you want it? Are you going to put a roof over it? Do you want a floor covering? And, exactly what do you want in that kichen?

My husband and I knew that we wanted our outdoor kitchen to over-look our organic garden. We also knew that we wanted bricks to be on the floor although we could have chosen tile or just plain concrete.

We also knew that we wanted a grill , a smoker , an outdoor refrigerator and a sink surrounded by a number of outdoor cabinets .

For furniture, we chose an outside table and chairs with several bar stools and a bench . We wanted to make sure that there was plenty of space for our family and friends to sit while they were visiting us.

You too can enjoy an outside kitchen during the warm months. Just plan ahead so that you end up with exactly what you want.

I hope that video gives you some other great ideas…until next time from this Organic Garden blog.

Water Features In Your Organic Garden – Organic Gardening How To

Posted by admin on May 3, 2011 under organic gardening how to

Not only am I stuck on organic gardening, but I’m also stuck on the water features that I keep adding toorganic gardening how to my garden. The peaceful sound of bubbling water on the other side of my red roses seems to make my gardening experiences even more pleasurable. That’s hard for me to believe, but, that’s what I wanted to discuss in this short Organic Gardening How To article.

You see, I’ve always enjoyed my garden. My garden give me comfort and pleasure. Working in my garden is a real joy and gives me a sense of accomplishment. It’s been that way for years.

So, why am I now feeling even more comfortable in my garden ever since I started adding water features two years ago? I’m not sure that I have an answer for that.

Two years ago, I first added a small bird bath next to my vegetable garden. Last year, I added a bubbling rock close to my roses. Now, this year, I’m adding a Koi Pond next to our cedar deck…I’m building it myself.

These water features are enhancing the beauty of my garden…they are giving it a new dimension…at least, that’s what I believe. And, since it’s my garden, I’m the only one that needs to believe that.

Until next time from the Organic Gardening How To Blog…
