Pics of My New Garden
Laurie has been begging me to finish her garden and finally after 3
weeks of figuring out how to make it work, it's done! The hard part
was determining how to not ruin the fence that I built last month. I
had to run a retaining wall down the fence side. I built it from
eight 4x4x12s, (approx $100) and reinforced it with iron T-bars
(free). The triple mix was from Meadow Acres, I borrowed a truck and
bought 3 cubic yards in bulk ($94). The 3 stones were also from
Meadow acres and delivered (dumped off a truck onto my lawn) was $300.
The plants were either transplanted from the front (now a complete
catastrophe) or purchased from York Nursery ($68 with my 40%
discount). All said and done it was a great way to spend $550 on a weekend
project :) I love that it's tax deductible, too! Next up - building a gate...
