Rock Garden and Snickelbritches Updates

This last weekend the whole family worked on putting together a raised garden bed for the our vegtables that we are going to plant. It still is not done completely done yet as we have had some inclement weather and this thing called the Army keeps getting in the way-- but all it needs at this point is soil and plants.

Here in Central Texas there is flagstone everywhere so it is pretty easy to obtain without paying for it. So we gathered the kids and the truck and drove around the construction sites where it has already been loosened from the ground.


We brought it home and washed it

and started building

we stacked and restacked to make sure we get it right!

The bed is about 12 long and 4 feet wide. And this is only 1 of 2 we are going to build right along this retaining wall. While the bed is done and I don't have a picture of it yet--- I was waiting until we kill the grass and fill it with soil before I take anymore pics. It took 3 trucksload of rocks and about 6 hours to get this done-- but the fresh tomotoes will make it worth it!

I redid my Snickelbritches store and decided to take down all the explaination boards of what vinyl is and how to use it- I figure you either get it or you don't! I decided to use that space to hang some photobox frames instead. It is hard to get everything I would like into a 4 x 2 foot space!
