Taming the ruins

COVID19 has dashed all our plans to meet and greet the neighbours, explore the sites in and around our new town and left us with lots of time on our hands...
  So what did we do?  At least we could be outside so we gardened, a LOT!  The yard and gardens were a neglected mess with lots of interesting mystery plants in flower beds buried under weeds.  These gardens were loved at one time, and now we've worked towards restoring and enhancing this precious green space that we're spending so much time in...


  





Along one side of the house there were hip high weeds and some plants mixed in, and perhaps some stones??  We took on the challenge!  


Here is the complete transformation of the moss rock garden, from wild thing (all those weeds!, photo to the left) 

to bare spot (naked after removing all those weeds) 

to finding the “Roman Ruins (a previous wall of flagstones) 

to delivery of the moss rock (all 540 pounds) 

to building the new wall (using the old and new flagstones) 

to lovely garden (adding 3 shrubs and some thymes/other ground covers)!  

All we need now is some mulch. 

The moss rock is from Stones 'n More in Harriston, a small but lovely spot for plants and garden rocks, and very friendly service!  (They deliver!)

And then there was the patch in the backyard...
