It’s been a hot and dry month in the Yarra Valley. Mainly watering and maintaining at #LisasGarden planning for next season and picking lots of tomatoes!
I have ordered a 2.4m x 3.6m Maze greenhouse and can’t wait for hubby and I to set up the area next to the food garden. Any suggestions for accessories , benches etc? ( I’m all about the look as much as functionality lol)
I picked up some great pot hangers for some old pots for in the food area and the strawberries are loving it! Also added a few solar flower lights
Two new chairs from Bunnings and a 25 plus year old coffee table makes a cute area to sit out of the heat.
Happy gardening

Hello @LisasGarden
Your hanging pots look wonderful. Your tomato harvest looks fantastic. One of the best additions I can recommend for your greenhouse is purchasing the Maze Greenhouse Gutter Connector Kit. You can link this into the Maze 190L water tank. Rainwater is the best kind of water you can use on your plants. It's free of chemical additives and is all-natural.
If you're planning on maximizing the use of your greenhouse, I suggest reading this guide - How to build a vertical garden by @MitchellMc. You can modify the size of the vertical plant holders to be bigger or you can double up back to back. You'll be able to use every bit of space that's available inside your greenhouse.
Another possible addition you can place next to the greenhouse is a potting table. Have a look at this featured project - Potting table by @Catldoo. Or perhaps this type of ornamental display - Animal planter boxes by @Jamespeter100.
My last and best suggestion of course is to have a Firepit entertaining area with seating and planter boxes by @raymond265. You can modify the layout so that it fits in with your greenhouse. This way you can enjoy looking at your plants while having a glass of ice tea.
Thank you so much for sharing this garden update, we look forward to seeing your greenhouse built and full of beautiful plants.

Wow thanks for all the great suggestions Eric. This is the area that it will be in front of.
