Old Man Winter Moving in for yet another KILL
Comments (4)That is definitely a dirty dirty trick, and I would be feeling exactly the same way. We are supposed to get hit with it too, but it won't do us any real harm, since our gardens are still under snow. We will still complain about it though. Sorry, Annie.

Comments (26)Sue, You are so funny - what a riot..I just about LMAO.... Jayne, I think that maybe you are right - I don't think that I have enough of the plain for the back but I am able to get some more locally..it may be a great decision...it is a beautiful plaid. Thanks for the compliment on the plaid - it means a lot - I'm having a lot of fun - learning as I go but having a lot of fun.. Wishing you all a great evening..

Comments (12)Common FlagTruck, I wanna see yours! I like the edging but I will have to have much deeper retaining walls. I also really liked the inspiration of the mosaic blocks. I was wondering about that too because I need to do something with the risers on our rain barrels and above ground cistern units. Slow, I can't believe that you have found something you can't fathom in mosaic! I did not think that was possible, lol. Thanks all. Please keep photos coming. it's photos like at the grotto that are my inspiration. I've seen some mosaic retaining walls on some websites in the past. I'm just formulating some ideas to show a landscape architect when I find one I can work with. Most of my property was blown out by the Atlanta tornado a week and a half ago. All my century trees were downed in my yard as were 3 of my neighbors. Then the big machines came in to clear it out and just mangled the entire property. After two rains we realized we're in big trouble and need a lot of work done as soon as we can afford it (well, sooner but you gotta start somewhere!). To save money I was thinking of just doing block walls and eventually mosaicing them. That is a lot of dishes and glass 1/2 rounds!!I'd love a to cut the bottom off of bottles to use them too as I like the circles. I'd like to do it ALL in circles. So I have almost an acre of land to retain. All around 3 long sides, then probably some terraces in several places. Some will have to be in stone/rip rap (to save mosaic sanity, plus I'm already about half way thru my life and I feel at some point there will be a time crunch!!). Thanks all, girlgroupgirl...See MoreGarden Wall Project
Comments (14)Thanks, everyone! SLOW, what an awesome wall! Thanks for posting it! I've got flowers on rebar that I need to make that I'd planned on staking along the back wall (so I could take them if I move). But I love the idea of a few butterflies or carrying along some of the "dots" or something. What a great idea!! KEANA, I have figured that every 6th brick will be mosaic. That seemed to work out nicely. Thanks for the encouragement! I love the idea that mosaic doesn't have to be all or nothing. I think it was the butterfly SILVAMAE put on her wall that gave me the idea. This is definitely THE forum for ideas and inspiration!...See Morelyam
