A couple of years ago we had to dig up the sewer. It was next to the back door. I lost all my shade plants. I was just sick..Last year I played around with the area but nothing I did made me happy. It just didn't look right . I started to dig around this spring and came up with the idea ...I needed  a wall.  I love the look of plants tumbling down a wall.

So I go to the local mason store. Wow I could have stayed a couple of hours in there, I came up with a whole bunch of new idea's LOL.

I could only get 6 cement blocks in my car and I had 2 at the house. Got all my tools, level, sting, etc. Just like the guy's do, Saturday mornings on the TV. OMG. It took me 2 hours to place those eight cement blocks,what a project. I only have 30 or more to go.LOL.

I could have waited for Jim to help , but he always makes such a big deal out my little projects and he  gets a little peaved when I change things in a couple of years.LOL

I can't get him to understand that certain plants need a certain home, Like this wall, it opens up a whole new set of plantings. Gardening is never ending, always changing.When you have a 150/50 ft lot and there are thousands of plants ...well, some people jog...I dig.

He does make wonderful things for me. I wanted an arbor, but they were so spendy. I said why can't we make one out of PVC pipe, He did ...It is awesome. It is in some of my pictures.

I'm glad he doesn't want to garden , I have a friend that the bickering got so bad, that to bring back the harmony ...he took the backyard and she took the front.Good Grief...LOL

The weather guy says snow for Easter weekend , Hope he's wrong ,I would like to finish the wall. Happy Planting and have a wonderful Easter everyone.
