Wow, Loz! That is nice! I could use that grass you dug out to fill in a big spot in my yard (where I dug all my roses up a few years ago when I moved). You think you could fit all that in one of those flat-rate boxes and send it to me?

Cindy! Too bad you didn't live nearby you could have it all! Tammy I have 32 glads to plant in there, 12 liatris bulbs, 10 asiatic lilies, and a burning bush that I want to transplant over to that spot. I'd also like to throw some sunflowers in there because I started way too many! Mark just mowed the lawn on Sunday so the gazillion dandelions that were there are all gone! For now anyway! Here's some pictures from the first year we moved in...taken with my old cheapo digital camera.......just so you can see more of the positioning of the flowerbed--it's right at the bottom of the stairs there. That upper back porch is my fav. spot to sit because it's elevated.....I could sit out there all day! And the spruce tree you see in the one shot is history...that's where we put in the birdhouse and flowerbed underneath.....

Thanks Triss....I threw all kinds of things in there today temporarily.....until they get a little bigger. Then I'll move 'em out of there and put them somewhere else.... I did move my little burning bush in there too! I couldn't stand seeing it so empty. And I got a lot of bulbs planted today in there too!

That's one way of thinking about it! Well, I have some mulch.....Mark went to Walmart and I told him to pick me up a few big bags of Scotts garden soil....so hopefully he'll remember!!!! Fingers crossed.

Okay, he remembered and bought me 4 bags of soil.....so I just added it, and mulched half of it.....half of the bed has bulbs in it, the other half is going to be my pond....although we have to dig out a bit more to make it bigger!

The solar light helps keep away fish nappers.. I know my boy broke mine and the fish were gone!! you don't have to wait if you buy the water conditioner. I look for rocks all the time its a more natural appearance.. good luck!

That is looking great! Hubby deserves a pat on the back for all that work! I cant decide if I want a pond in this place or not. I loved mine but I was constantly fishing toys and rocks and kids out of mine. May just wait till they get a lil older and we got a huge pond on teh end of the acreage. Its an eye sore though
