Most of the “fake flagstone” has been laid down, I’ll be continuing along where the ‘grass’ shows in the photo above. I do need to buy a bit more of that horrible plastic edging first, but so far it’s working out fairly well.

The green sticks are the stakes for the dahlias, but it will look like I’m growing those stakes for another month or two. By the middle of actual summer they should pretty much vanish amongst the foliage of the dahlias… at least that’s the plan.

The herb garden is doing amazingly well, the mint is doing a bit too well, but hasn’t yet invaded the space of the other plants, thankfully. I think I will be transplanting it soon to an area where its invasive nature will actually be appreciated. :) I just need to move all the tree branches I foolishly piled up in that particular area just yesterday, oops.

I think the key when looking at the photo is to imagine what it’ll look like, versus seeing what it actually looks like. The whole area needs to be mulched, I need to get the creeping thyme to go in/around the flagstone, and just do a lot more tidying type work.

It’s one of those horrible situations where so many things are contingent upon the rest. I need to move the whiskey barrel to the front yard, but I can’t do that until the rest of the stone is down so I can shovel the dirt out of it. I can’t put the rest of the stone down until the edging is purchased and put into place. At least I was able to transplant the Ivy that used to live in the whiskey barrel yesterday. ;) I actually do need to get on all of that soon, at least some of my new roses are on the way; they might be here tomorrow, if not then on Saturday. Once they get here I have pretty much one day to get them all into the ground, haha.

I can’t get the roses into the ground until the whiskey barrel is moved and three azaleas are also transplanted out of the way. One little problem is that I haven’t a clue where the azaleas will go, oooops!
