Sigh. My shed is a top-three blight on my garden, right up there with the bleak, unirrigated corner and the chain-link. (I’m not counting views of my neighbor’s yard out of courtesy.) But the shed is certainly the most prominent blight. It seems that no matter how good the rest of the garden looks, the shed is like an inbred mongrel in the corner. You can’t look away. Although, the inside looks better. I try not to organize it; if I start moving things out of the shed, it may burn down “accidentally.”

Susan, It’s too funny – and I’m laughing WITH you, not at you! I think there was a contest in the UK for “worst shed”, winner to receive a new beautiful one. Someone needs to sponsor something like that here… (Yours and mine could duke it out. – Views of the neighbor’s yard could be a separate category – winner gets a 12′ hedge?) -kris
