Elephants eye: rubble is ugly...think someone smashing up an uncleared house randomly with a sledge hammer<br /><br />Alan: people often pay to do gardening, call it horticultural therapy, get a Docotorate of Ebay and you will never need to do your own gardening ever again! Forget me knots are also just good for ground cover during the summer....beats bare earth<br /><br />Beangeanie: thanks....I think all good gardens are assembled from what is found and created. I was lucky enough to get the greenhouse from Freecycle! Im currently looking for more windows to make a coldframe...Clivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10121702191706190527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7896756321056623696.post-966565072365119492011-05-02T00:48:14.605-07:002011-05-02T00:48:14.605-07:00I'm very envious of your workforce, your bog g...I'm very envious of your workforce, your bog garden - and your amazing greenhouse.

I just don't think I could pull it off. :-)<br /><br />Usually people say "forget me nots seed all over and that's why I HATE them" -- I know that's why I got rid of them. They're beautiful for a while, but then get sort of ratty-looking, so I decided they had to go. I can understand if you've got a big space to fill though...<br /><br />I used chunks from a demolished concrete patio to make a walkway. You need the smooth tops for that though -- not sure if your rubble has that.Alanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13393082652312828458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7896756321056623696.post-63163592317908692552011-04-28T12:16:23.478-07:002011-04-28T12:16:23.478-07:00What does the rubble look like?
