Our yard late June before we sought refuge from the heat in the Pacific NW



Mrs Surfered made the stepping stones with cement and stained glass using the upside down pineapple cake method

Yes, we save the bulbs. The stones are cement, but the glass inlay will crack. So they're not to be stepped on surfered 7 hrs ago #17

She must like moss roses? Did you save the Caladium bulbs?

Good job on the stepping stones. The ones I made were too thin and broke as soon as I stepped on them.

I have an area in my garden that needs something... The pots and mulch really look good together. I just bought some mossrose starts and now know what to do with them.

Thanks!

I rent, and have a small garden patch to maintain. But any soil I add just gets taken over by sand, so your design takes care of that problem. Thanks again.

I've never lived anywhere else that I love so much. My sister from Houston was trying to get me to take a vacation with her. I told here that everyday here is a vacation. Why go anywhere else?

Your photos are incredible. When I first saw them, I thought they might be from Yachats.

If you have time, cruise that sweet little town. Lots of amazing cottage gardens and interesting ocean views with "blowholes". Thor's Well is the best known.
