New Rock Wall

I love having cut flowers in the kitchen and the kids love to go cutting with me. So in order to supply more opportunities for cutting, Patrick built a new flower bed. There was a bare spot on the big berm area so he constructed a retaining wall which we filled with planting dirt. Voila…a new flower bed was born. It was amazingly quick to build the wall.  These stackable blocks go together very easy.  We “glued” the top layer together with exterior block caulking and we were done. Surprisingly it was completed in an afternoon. We bought several new plants to go in there and we transplanted several that were growing in inappropriate places.  It is really nice to have and the children are thrilled to have a place to cut flowers.  Plus, it is just pretty.  

Now we are in the process of moving the spare cinder blocks and house rock that have been cluttering up that area for some time now.  It looks all neat now when you pull up to the front of the house.
