Plantmover, That's a very nice stone walkway. Love the deck, looks like you have a bench seat built in all the way down that side, very nice.
I planted some Scottish and Irish Moss and Platt's Black Leptinella between our stones. Too early to tell yet how well it will do. Although you have larger spaces to plant between so that gives you more choices to look at.
Rcn, Can't wait to see your woodland garden bet it will be fantastic. You have such a wonderful knowledge of plants and such a good eye for color and form.
We had a Rock Party last night. LOL
We invited the neighbors that live next to the old bridge to come up and see the wall and have dinner, just an informal cook out. They came at 6:00 and stayed til almost midnight we had such a good time sitting out in the Gazebo and talking. We used their driveway and the corner of their property to access the biggest rocks and wanted them to see what we had done with them. Here is Ric down on their creek frontage getting one of the big rocks. He's attaching a chain to it, you can see the chain laying out on the ground. The other end (not in the picture) is attached to the explorer and after Ric would get them hooked up I would drive the explorer up the driveway and pull the rocks to the edge of their parking area. Then we would bring in the trailer and load them on that. The whole process went pretty smoothly conseriding the size of those rocks.
