I have a problem. A lot of Lava Rock problem. Every Spring I would envy my neighbors in Sienna Ranch who had rock gardens as I was hauling bag, after bag, after bag of mulch to my flower gardens. Well, I got my wish. I have gardens chocked full of rocks. They are HORRIBLE. I'm trying to plant some stuff, but having a horrible time because the rocks keep creeping into my holes. I also inherited a beautiful tiered fountain on this garden, but as you can see in the picture it is without a pump, the tubing and is cracked. Prince Charming swears he can glue it/cement it back together, but I'm not convinced. So in the mean time I have disassembled it and have it all in pieces. I'm pretty sure I can put in the Pinterest fountain of kiddie pools.....

The good news is under the layer of rocks is the black weed control crap. So, once I dig up the rock it seems to stay out of my way. I believe I am going to do this once. I am not going to be doing much of anything after this year with this garden. Nana told me to order from Brecks, so I will be doing some online plant shopping this next week. Lowes just doesn't provide the variety I need. I have ventured to Home Depot too, but to no avail. We have a nursery down at the bottom of the Knob, I may brave it and go there. I have never bought a plant from a nursery. I'm too cheap. I will let you know how that goes.
So, I'm going to walk again this week. I think I will step it up a notch and walk from 35-40 minutes six days this week. I think I will break it into 2 sessions on Monday and Wednesday. I'm not sure if that will be easier or if I will blow off the 2nd half. Um....I'll get back to you on that one.
