Well, it's finished. I don't know if all the plants are going to survive, especially the ones planted next to the chimney since those get the least amount of sun yet need full sunlight. Yeah...my bad. Anyway, here's pictures of the finished project. The before picture is on page one if you want a before and after photo. The children really pitched in and helped out too. All the rocks you see that are serving as landscape boarders came from our creek. The children brought all those to the tractor. The rocks for the downspouts all came from our creek again. The children also brought those to the tractor. The mulch came from a tree service who wanted someplace to dump their truck. I've still got LOTS of mulch left lol but I know plenty of places for it. (Makes good compost after it finally breaks down.)

You and the children did a real good job. I really like all the rocks. It look very good and can only get better as the plants grow.

Oh wow, that's a really beautiful bush you have! Very nice and filled in. Wish we could grow them here. Actually, seeing that pic I might just try. They say lemon trees aren't supposed to grow here either but I have a 4 year old tree which disagrees lol.

They tend to like acidic soil and not too much water. Water them too much, the leaves will turn yellow and drop off.
They will get huge if you let them..I keep these trimmed back to about 4'-5' tall and 4'-5' diameter.
