A Work In Progress, (as always)

The greenhouse grden project continues through the heat of the summer. On the east side of the garden I have placed 3/4 ton of 3/4 inch base material (from the local quarry, to my my pickup truck, to the wheelbarrow, to the path). After leveling (sort of) and compacting the base material, the pavers were then placed in a wavy line. Not wavy on purpose. It just sort of came out that way. An engineer would never approve of the fact that the fence and walkway are not exactly perpendicular to the house. Oh well. On to the next step. Leftover 3/4 inch rock was placed along one side of the path as a weed barrier. Then a yard of compost/loam (once again from the quarry, to the pickup truck, to the wheelbarrow, and then to the garden) will provide an area on the other side of the path for a planting. We are not quite sure yet but perhaps the shady section may have a ground cover and the sunny section may have day lillies. We will see. In the meantime I still have polymeric sand to sift into the cracks between the pavers. With the application of a little water it will firm up and help to keep weeds from growing through the cracks.

Here are some garden pictures just for fun
