With my house coming up on its 10 year anniversary, I do worry a bit about that. I hate rocks and the "rubbermaid" type mulch so I continue, but I wonder if I am just asking for termites?!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8488599.post-1145712438513899282006-04-22T09:27:00.000-04:002006-04-22T09:27:00.000-04:00I am always careful not to over correct any eager ...I am always careful not to over correct any eager ambitious gardener. <BR/><BR/>If she wants to call her Brunnera a "buenerra", so be it.

Some Senior citizens even sprayed the rocks green. Well today I am one of those front yard rock people. I have determined rocks are landscaping. I am just too lazy to try to keep a front yard mowed and manicured.

These were not little stones, but large Sister--Fletahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03555954801472686586noreply@blogger.com
