I think the stepping-stone path was an excellent choice for your site. I'm always surprised to see gardens with huge borders and no way to access them without having to walk on the soil.<BR/><BR/>Hope you're enjoying your blog-break.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9218275625589637009.post-69284824158902163432008-05-27T13:48:00.000-05:002008-05-27T13:48:00.000-05:00You can't lose with rocks.

Returning to the original post, I discovered that, yes, it was there in the photos all along. Six hours to create a thing of beauty and elegance, and then... That does it. I'm sending you a gnome. And if you object, I'll send you six gnomes...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9218275625589637009.post-49497915665679189482008-05-19T07:52:00.000-05:002008-05-19T07:52:00.000-05:00Kim--Thanks for stopping by!

I'll have to look at that cupid's dart; just such a unique flower.<BR/>Ki--I certainly have all clay, no lovely topsoil (not yet--c'mon compost and wood chips), but didn't have any steppers heave this winter. And it got below zero for a while. I think the worst thing is digging in the stone, even if it's not too thick!

Apparently we live in an area with a layer of shale or some type of sedimentary rock about 6 feet deep so whenever they dig, up come a huge quantity of rocks. <BR/><BR/>I wanted to use some of the flagstones for a path but I was really concerned about heaving in winter because all of the soil under the 3" topsoil layer is clay.

Thanks for the advice in the previous post. Also, I love your centaurea. I have Centaurea montana 'Cupid's Dart' that's all blue, but I'll have to look for the one you have - they would look great together. Thanks for sharing your garden.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
