Very tiring to do that (had to level the ground and add lime gravel before we could bring in the stones. Glad you had a much shorter area to cover.

Mike's wall is great and a learning experience in the bargain.

If it w...Yes, your brick layer did a WONDERFUL job. If it was me though, I would be concerned about the dirt fill up against that "ol" fence and maybe want to put something back there so it doesn't rot out and fall through the bottom of the fence. Like treated outdoor plywood against the base of the fence... as long as it doesn't have any poisons that would hurt the plants. So glad the kids (kitties) got a chance to be outside again, eat his grass, play, explore, etc. QuiltGranmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09225951118220180796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5045426307379086704.post-19470398400716302152019-08-19T06:46:34.189-07:002019-08-19T06:46:34.189-07:00Your brick layer did a great job on the peonies be...Your brick layer did a great job on the peonies bed.

That relish looks incredible, so I'll try some of that too (but not with the pancakes, thank you). So glad the kids got to go outside for a bit! The peonies are going to look great in that bed! You won't have any problem with the dresdens. I'd say you two got more than your usual workout with those cement blocks! piecefulwendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02256164519304112032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5045426307379086704.post-56495910671905927202019-08-18T19:44:57.108-07:002019-08-18T19:44:57.108-07:00I was especially interested in your stone wall.

I think I've mentioned before that our summer cottage is on a cliff and that last year we had a lot of erosion and had to do a lot of work to restore it and to keep our cottage from disappearing. $$$$ As a result we gained more table land and we now need some sort of barrier to ensure that no one falls off the cliff. I'm thinking that Mike's wall might be the answer. <br />You're lucky you have that truck, as the weight of those bricks would probably wreck the suspension in a regular car.<br />BTW I am constantly told, as a non-gardener, that it is not dirt. It is soil. ha ha.Sandra Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16100820913707798961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5045426307379086704.post-76963084285257127302019-08-18T15:42:56.693-07:002019-08-18T15:42:56.693-07:00The peony bed looks great!

The canned goodies all sound so good - growing up we had home canned peaches and tomatoes and pears, but nothing fancy like you do and it all had me curious. The little blocks are looking good and the kitties look very pleased with their short stretch of outside freedom.Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01515254293191853580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5045426307379086704.post-9464349536059157192019-08-18T15:42:39.191-07:002019-08-18T15:42:39.191-07:00Y'all did a great job on the stack stone plant...Y'all did a great job on the stack stone planter wall.
