Lil update. I didn't show off what I had done a week ago but I added 24 more bricks to the bed. I'm still digging out the hole in the front yard and well, I started to fill the bed with some of the crap dirt. I'm still trying to level out the ground around the bed too. For the most part, the bed is about 90% built. THere are still 30-some bricks to bring up but the plan was for this to be only 3 stones high. I don't know what I'll do with the extras.

You can see in the corner I need a half stone to fill in that gap.

Update:

I guess it's been 2 months. The bricks making up the bed are in place, it just happened to snow really bad and then rain and well, I didn't really touch it.

If you guys remember the digging out of the roots from a tree (from last year) that was taken out, I gathered a lot of the rocks that littered the dirt. With all those rocks, I'm creating a river bed type of thang. Tho, it's not quite as pretty as those found in properly landscaped yards, gardens and parks. But hey, it works for me!

Hopefully next weekend, I can get a yard of dirt and fill the bed in. Then I can plant the Black Mondo Grass and Japanese Blood Grass. If it stays as 'warm' as it is, I might be able to plant Dahlias for the summer! :D

It coming along quite nicely G!! Cant help but to think of how many scenes are going to involve that setting in the future after there are lots of plants and growth...

Lil update


Started building the walkway. I was hoping for a certain look but we'll see how it works.


Another shot of the continued river rock bed.


I planted stuff 2 weeks ago. Not much there but there's $60 worth of plants in there including the stuff Emi had dug up from my original bed back in Nov/Dec. Hard to tell if the blood grass and some of the black mondo grass will come back. I bought salvia, lupine, and some other tall plant to go in there. There are a couple of dahlia tubers in the ground in which I have those lil plastic tab/stakes to mark their position. And of course, there are hen n chicks to act as ground cover! :D

Looking sweet G, I can see plenty of dio opportunities there already! :)
