Greg,Thank you so much for the kind words.
I do know what you mean about it doesn't have to be rain here,i think sometimes i can feel rain 2 states over.I tell people it's raining not here but it's raining somewhere close.
I do have my husband to do my heavy lifting.I get him to dump a wheel barrow or 3 at the bed and then all i have to do is shovel it where i want it.He dumps the bags of pea gravel out and i mix soil & gravel and anything else i want in it in a large metal tub of a thing,it works well.He won't put as much compost or rock as i want,he put as much as he wants me doing that day!!
My daughter just brought me 2 magazines saying"oh yea you got these in the mail" she tossed them on the bed & one opened up to an article on planting in different things shoes,wagons etc... there was a picture of the semp that i seen in my book that was labeled 'sugaree' or it really looked like it.I have to go figure out my new printer & scan these pictures and see what all of yall think it is!! whoops my southern accent slipped i actually typed "yall"
