i didn't sleep well last night, which was no surprise, it rained like crazy and i was pretty stiff and sore from the yard work, even a couple of IBs didn't help much, i discovered this morning that i made a big booboo, when i extended the island bed to added the juniper, i reduced the space between that and one of the main beds to the point that i could get the lawnmower between them, oy vey.....so i had two choices, i could re-set the juniper and reduce the bed size or i could just extend the bed and join it into the main bed, which is the choice i took, i added a stepping stone and a small mongo pine and a few more lava rocks and all is well, i'm glad that i decided to you the red mulch this year rather then the black because while the texture of the mulch and stone is different ( now there is a statement of the overly obvious, the color is almost identical so the transition is smooth, saw a couple of plants i'd really like to add but no real place to put them. everything is now done except for the annual pots, and i'm not 100% sure i'm going to do them or if i'll use plantings or seed....
