Have you heard back from Klingstone? I am looking to stabilize an area around my shed, and if it works I will use it for paths. Thanks for any information you can give me. I am in Littleton CO so I will be interested in their response regarding feasibility in semi-arid areas.

You need to water more often in winter.

Comment on Bulbs all planted by Jenny

72 daffodils in the backyard??
As of March 15, I count 2 that have broken ground.
I have to wonder just how many will appear in the raised beds. I planted them to the outside of the bed which has little insulation against the winter cold. I’m thinking I had at least 15 in each side?
Where the heck did I plant the other 42 bulbs?

On the bright side, it looks like all 18 planted out front are up, as well as 12 tulips, and 2 of the 3 alliums are above ground.

Summer results:
English Daisy: Planted in front bed next to driveway. daisies were small, < 4″ tall, did produce pink flowers, and had some evergreen properties finally dieing off around January 2010.

Columbine: Planted 6 plants in raised bed next to back patio. None got larger than 5″ tall, and did not produce flowers. Will be looking to see if they return this year.

Rudbeckia Hirta: Planted 3 plants in front bed next to driveway. All got about 2.5′ tall and produced a number of flowers. The plants were leggy, and should have been pruned before flowering, but will see how they go this year.

Shasta Daisy: Planted 2 or 3? in front yard, produced no flowers, but expect I will get flowers this year.

Comment on Front Wall Cost Estimate by Jenny

So the wall came in at $1000 above the estimate. We had 76 linear feet at 1.5 feet high. The stone we chose, was a buff color that added cost to the project.

Our total cost. $3800, scheduled for 5/26

So reduced each of the depths – and we are down to 9 yards from 5
