While the photos can't really show the true efforts of my work, yesterday I spent approximately 8 hours planting about 70 plants in what I hope to be a beautiful rock garden. One of the reasons why it's hard to see is because I have a black tarp over the ground to help minimize weeds from crowding in. Another reason why its hard to see is because I bought the really small plants that have yet to mature and spread; more economical this way.
Today I still have more to do along the side of the driveway, where I've installed some patio stones. Maybe I'll post more pictures below. But, I can assure you that I am walking somewhat like my grandmother did during her latter years of life!
The bottom photo is of some stones that I installed next to my driveway. Great for me to step on to when I get out of the car ... and also great to deposit snow in the winter after shovelling the driveway!

Just think of it as a free pilates class. ;)
It's going to look great, I'm sure. We're growing newspapers in my yard.

I'm going to do the same thing with my grass Leslie...I mean the black tarp thing. I would like to kill it all off naturally and then put new turf down.
Where do you get those lovely stone? I want some for my rockery too!
You are a gardening lover!! 8 hrs, wow. It is going to be beautiful and I look forward to end result.

Lesley... rock on!
But it really looks great. I wish I had the energy to get out into my yard right now.
So much work and so little time.
Keep the updates coming!
