One part of the massive project I’ve been doing… Almost done! Need to do a bit more work, set lights, bury water line, mulch, etc—but as a complete amateur with the layout of a garden, I’m pretty damn proud of this work! 💪 Oh, I’ve dug hundreds of holes, hauled mulch and rock and dirt and other yard and garden related stuff—But this is my first time picking the plants, doing layout, etc. And I’m well-chuffed and quite proud of the results! Yay for me! 😊 (And Vicki, of course!) 😄 And how about that view, eh? 😃 #rosegarden #mountainsunset #notbadforabeginner #rockysoil #rockysoilsucks #rosesofinstagram #carolinacherrylaurel #ingridbergmanrose #thatviewthough https://www.instagram.com/p/CWR0TVxJj-F/?utm_medium=tumblr

There I was, innocently edging the garden bed with my half moon edger, and I kept hitting a rock. So I'd move the edger further along and I still hit a rock. This was getting annoying so I decided to dig it out. Dig them out. This is why it takes me an hour to edge 10 feet of garden bed. #InTheGardenToday #coldclimategardening #upstateny #thosedamnrocks #rockysoil https://www.instagram.com/p/CCFVTiYgUD3/?igshid=oev9yzvtjlke

This is why I stockpile garden soil. I needed to dig a hole for a plant in a gallon pot. Every time I stuck my shovel in the ground, I hit rock. Even adding equal amounts of compost to the backfill, there wasn't enough to refill the hole. #inthegardentoday #coldclimategardening #upstateny #rockysoil https://www.instagram.com/p/B1mQAJCgoTx/?igshid=pcazw0svi2jk
