Today in the front garden

I finished planting up the rockery with another 10 plants and when Paul came home we went and got some slate chippings (plum coloured) and we laid it all down as a mulch.
The slate is lovely, dark plum when wet, lilac when dry..

So now our rockery is completely finished.. it only needs the plants to grow, fill out a bit and flower!

here's the pics

Fab Pat - you two have done a brilliant job.

What time can you get here?

It looks fab.

I have just finished our back garden path which now looks very rustic with the chippings. I'll get some pic's tomorrow as it's dark now.

You've both done a wonderful job xxxxxxxx

it looks lovely !!! you are so clever...

i am waiting on a delivery of green slate for my front garden too !!! great minds xx

I put my bark chip down on my path today and it looks gorgeous !!!

Thanks x

and Dani, we chose the plum to match the highlights in a couple of those rocks, and some of the flowers. Sadly the photos don't show the glints in the rocks - but, you get the idea.

Looking forward to seeing your pics mom, I am really enjoying these gardening threads

That looks great

Can't wait to see more photos in awhile once the flowers have started to grow

thats why we went for the green as we have a greenish stone path to our front door.

I think the plum looks smashing !! it just wouldnt go with our path.

That looks lovely Pat..I can't wait for the piccies once the flowers all come out.

We have the lilac and green chippings in between the occasional slabs and they look lovely when its been raining.

We have a corner in our garden that I would like to make into a rockery...hope you don't mind if I pinch some of your ideas xx

Sheree, you pinch away if you see anything you like. I look at loads of gardens when I am out walking Missy and I get ideas from all of them.
It'll come out your own, anyway. Every person I know who gardens changes things as they go

here's a pic now the slate is dry, and in the sun.
I think its very pretty
