Nax's New Patio garden

Created on Thursday, 03 Jul 08

The only shady part in the whole backyard, at least until the wind knocked half my pear tree over right after my husband and son put in a beautiful large flagstone patio. Now we’ll see. Main and third pictures is the new look, second and fourth are with the tree. Hosta is really the only plant there right now, but I’ll be putting in bulbs, a new tree, and moving the hydrangea in the spring.

    8 days after the patio was built you say? That’s such a shame.

    All the same, way to go, Patio! :-)
