Note: I have pics on my phone but not on the computer yet...will add them whenever ;)

Moms roses were getting weed infested, so I weeded the area, put in some landscape timber and added mulch. Looks great! Oh yeah, I also need to get some trellises for the 2 climbers. And the plant on the left is a lilac hehe. Im going to add a few more roses, I have some just waiting for me to have a few free hours (and a vehicle!)

I started on a walkway between the patio and mini barn because the area tends to get muddy when it rains and the dogs run through it. Landscape timber for the edging, dug about halfway down (put it on its side) with weed fabric underneath. It'll be slightly shorter than 3' wide, about 16' long. Going to add stepping stones with small rocks around them.

Ok, so I started to do it the "lazy man's way", putting the fabric down right over the grass...then last night I was thinking, and it hit me...the filler rock would simply roll right off the path onto the patio! So Im gonna do it right and dig out the grass in the middle of the walk so the edge of the patios will hold the rock...

This is all I got done before I had to go pick the bf up from work.

Oh yeah. Also added some marigolds in the raised bed along with a new strawberry plant and snapdragons in my front garden (dont have a pic of that though).

I saw the raised bed you made in your photo album -- it looks great! Your mom must love it. How long will the landscae cloth last under the pavers? I've got to redo my walkway this summer too.
