Most of them that are in pots are new this year, so I'm trying to get some better roots established. Some I'm not really sure where I want them, so I'm just putting pot and all in the ground for now! I do have mole problems, so hoping it will help with that. I'm planning on potting up all my minis so they stand a better chance against the elements. Seems like the squirrels love digging around my little ones Grumbling

Dont I wish. Those stones weigh nearly 400 pounds each. DD and GS football player laid them. Leftovers from their old house.DD is so frugal she brought the leftovers from their oldhouse remodel patio.
It was just lucky they all fit and once you lay 1 you dont want to change your mind.
