Rock Walls

[rockyroller]

lost a large rock when I stepped on it. guess it was time for some maintenance. removed dirt & other small rocks & put it back. careful not to damage my back. it's a good 50 pounder

resisted the urge to do more

@rockyroller the purple cascading flowers are considered a weed here, but I like them, so I have taken some roots from a road verge and planted them in my garden
Question: how come your Hostas aren't eaten alive by slugs??

cool. don't know how they started right there, under the bird feeder. maybe from bird droppings? regardless, I say, hey if it'll grow there & hold the wall & soil in place, why not
