- Hey paula. I assume you're talking about the stones made with the mold for pathways. I made all of those on the front driveway on a piece of plastic, then moved to the back. They seem to hold up well if the concrete is mixed consistantly. I got about 1-1/2 forms with an 80lb bag of ready mix. Have a firm base of fine gravel underneath, and fill in with more when finished. My wife is in a wheelchair so I have paths everywhere. Hate to hear you lost your photos. Try to have an alternate source, thumb drive or cd. By the way. If you want to comment on someones picture, you can call up the pic and send a comment under that pic.

Diane, sorry for not making my message more clear - my reminder was about those shrubs that need to be scaled down and in my region (zones 5 & 6) the buds for the next season form on new growth in August so cutting the brunches after July would have…
delegating thats an interesting idea. the onlyone to delegate to is hubby and i know what he will say.
Crazy rainstorm last night, ripped down half the ivy on the wall. Had to cut it down, so I figured what the heck I'll collect snails in my garden. Armed with chopsticks (they make it way easy to gather up tiny guys under plants if you are profficent…
Love this flower. Never was able to grow it though. Thought it was called queen Anns Lace. I think it adds charm to the garden.
thanks Bob
Sheryl, that shouldn't be a problem, I have a seed feeder in close proximity and the humming birds seem happy enough to share. They just seem to perch on the tiny twigs where the big guys cant get to. Chech the surronding territory, perhaps someone…
