Quick change from logs to Rocks in my Cottage Garden

When we moved here, there were two tiny raised flower beds enclosed by poles.  I didn't like them much, but my initial chore of turning the lawn into more garden consumed my time.

That was two years ago. 

Last week we arranged to trade our SUV in for a very small Kia, Rio, and I decided to get some rocks from a near by field while I still had the SUV.

  I removed the rotten wood from around the beds, and stacked the rocks without doing much damage to the creeping flocks and rock cress.




I love the results and it didn't cost me anything but my time and the Gas to get the rocks.

  1. Your garden looks great! I love rocks around flower gardens. Thankfully, we've been able to get rocks off our property to use.

    I'd love it if you link this post to my Saturday on the Farm linky. :)

  6. Great job on the rocks. I get rocks from a neighbors field. I love free rocks. Keep up the great work.
