Default Dismantling a Garden

Sorry these pics are so bad. I was in a hurry.

I don't know who is dismantling the garden faster, me or the dogs.

Moving most of it to here. Ran out of room soooo looking for more space.

The new bed is looking fantastic Boo, I like the shape of it and the winding path is giving movement to the area is where you're emptying for the puppies? they look like they're having a great time out there with you.

Yes, that will be their yard. It looks small in the picture but its actually a city lot. I hope they enjoy it. There was real good dirt in there.

Thats my path. I really am running out of space. I'll have create a garden in the back (where the critters are) or give the stuff away. I don't want to do either. I'm brain storming.

I think no matter how much space we have there is never enough for true gardeners. It all looks wonderful Boo. I love the paths as well. SLOWLY ever so slowly I am enlarging my beds and leaving only paths of grass like yours. I know some folks remove all the lawn but I think it sets off the beds and makes everything look neat and tidy when it's mowed. Your fur babies are adorable.

Thanks Bernie They are 9 months I think so they are finally getting around to notice me. Having got two, they pretty much bonded with each other and played, played, & played. Now they are real affectionate. I just love them but they sure have torn apart some other things I loved too. Oh well

I like a little bit of lawn too. It does look nice when mowed and it makes a nice path. little bit of lawn

Boo, I knew the grass was your path, I was just funnin with ya, and I love the way you did the paths ...If I ever get to the actual yard, I want to do it like that..

I hope you can brainstorm and come up with a good idea...sometimes just taking a step back from the project will give you a good idea.

I hope you find a way to keep the plants...and those adorable puppies thank you for their yard.
