Winter Interest

Oh, I don't think there is such a thing as ugly rocks, each type has a beauty of it's own.

yay ssg!

Oh Holly, the rocks in my own yard are dang ugly!!! We should have a rocks thread...

OK! Anyone with rocks-----

I live really close to the Gunpowder River. Lots and LOTS of river rocks---BUT---because it is a
State PARK area here--no one is allowed to just go and gather rocks. The banks would all be nothing but sand
if this was allowed.
One may apply for a permit to gather rocks in State Parks but--there is a fee, of course. Not much!
Besides--IF I was to go gather rocks there---I would have to carry every one of them up the banks
to my car--which may be a REALLY difficult task for a Senior Lady like me.

I know I could meander the County and look for where they are building more Condos and houses.
Maybe I would find some rocks???? Maybe not! Besides--I would feel like i was invading
"forbidden territory" to go looking for anything on someone else 's property.
I KNOW i would feel like I am stealing something or other....Geez!

Speedybean----Are you really planning to bring rocks to the Swap????????
If you are really willing to bring rocks to the Swap---I would like some. But, i already asked Holly.
I know they have rocks galore on their property.
I just need some to edge a couple of flower beds......maybe 20 or so.....medium-med.lg.--and smaller ones to fill in.

As it is now--I have rotting out landscape timbers edging most of my beds. Also--some ancient RR ties..(1972).
These, especially, are rotting out and becoming hollow and a breeding ground for termites.
That is what I am trying to replace....RR ties--GONE! Rocks--Here to stay!

Seedybean--IF you bring me some rocks--I will, also, gift you a beautiful, rare plant of some sort.

Thanks to anyone willing to contribute.... Now--DO NOT overwhelm me! I can only use so many.....

Thanks, Holly, I will def bring the truck next time!!!

Gita. I'm sure we can rock you! :-} LOL Ric

Why, CERTAINLY I will gladly bring you rocks!!! I'll start collecting/gathering today... ooooh, I feel all hunter-gatherer like!! < =D I drive a pick-'em-up truck, so hauling rocks around is no sweat. I'll bring all I can and y'all can fight over them. =) heeheeheee
We sell bulk rock at work, including River Rock (aka: River Jacks). There's 1-3" size, 3-5" size (like, baking-potato'ish sized), and 5-8" size, like "size-of-your-head" sized. The 1-3 inchers are sold either in bulk or bag, but the other 2 sizes are bulk only. Our bulk products are sold by the "bucket", as in a front-loader bucket, which is 3/4 cu. yard, and the roock (per bucket) is about 1500 pounds or so. River Jacks go for $75/bucket, plus tax. (greedy Uncle Sam, grrrrr!) So, if you're ever down this way you can pop by, but if you don't need that many then I'll be hunter/gathering different sizes in the interim for y'all.

Oh
My
Gawd.

Did she say they sell rocks?? in bulk?? all the rocks one could possibly want??? ((salivate))

Errrrr Uh-Oh! >>hands Sally a towel
