My November Gardens

This area under my tree was supposed to be a rock garden, but it never looked right.

This afternoon, I moved all of the rocks around the outer edge, filled it in with fresh dirt, and planted pansies.

I got my watergarden ready for the cooler weather.

I also deep cleaned my back patio. A new tablecloth, pansies in the planters and freshly vacuumed carpet.

Wow Kelli, well done! The rocks under your tree look far better now! I am still looking for similiar stones to put unter our tree (where it still looks quite ugly). And I am pleased to see that you got some fresh pansies! You may remember that they are some of my favourite flowers!

I still have some work to finish in the garden but I don't know when to do it. It's already dark when I get home from work and according to the weather forecaste, we will get some more rain on Friday, Saturday and Sunday - oh no!

Hugs, Anita

We recently re-did the landscaping in front of our house. We had used a rock edging but the new plan required a lot more of them!
We drove down to a creek a ways from here a few times and brought back just enough. We are very happy with the finished product.

Doesn't it feel good to accomplish creating a pretty area? And it is especially satisfying to be done moving the rocks around!!!

Looks good!

Kelli, your gardens look lovely! Great job!!! This time of year I have no desire to get out into the garden but it sure could use it :-)
