Except for adding in some rocks to make it look really finished, here is my Seger pile. I moved close to a ton of cement retaining wall bricks this morning to line the outside. Very pleased with this! It's in the front lawn, which has taken quite a hit with the pronounced summer. Since the lawn is more weeds than grass, we decided against irrigating it this year, and will tear it up to replant.

@gingerw You have some nice looking rocks there. I'm still working on my own project, hoping to be able to take pictures this week. My backyard looks pretty much like yours. I just can't keep up with the watering enough to keep the lawns green. Replacing it with sod would be wonderful. I did put seed on a section of the front lawn this spring, and it looks better, but I need to work on the weeds that came up at least as well as the grass.
I covet your bricks. Did you use your custom wagon/cart for the job? Are you going to make a border with them? There are lots of ways to arrange them, aren't there. That sounds like a fun job. Congratulations on your new rock garden.

@gingerw Ginger, It turned out great. My grandsons would be in "rock heaven" rearranging them for you.
@parus I love the mixed pot - aren't the new coleus cultivars wonderful - they last all summer in sun or shade as long as they get water, and the color combo there is stunning.
I really need to get out in my garden and take some photos. But every time I start, I see something that needs to be pulled, trimmed, tied up or watered and I get distracted. Maybe I just need to put it on my to-do list.

@gingerw Nice! It doesn't look like it needs more rocks to me, but you of course have a vision of how you want it to look.
You must be one very strong woman to move those bricks. I'm not going to arm-wrestle with you, that's for sure.
