Hey Eva! Yes, that sounds about right! It was just your basic grey paving brick, set end to end, and the other set on it’s side (the long way) if that makes sense. I think it gives a really manicured look and raises the border a bit so you can see it from the sidewalk. Thanks for saying Hi! Don’t be a stranger!

Hey Emelia, sorry for the delay in response. I love hydrangeas too, the snowball ones are so pretty but can get a bit unruly in size easily taking over a small garden. That’s why I like this tree version so much! It has all the texture without taking up valuable lower garden space. You should totally consider one next spring :)

Hey Anya, Sorry for the delay in reply. I agree, I know there were elements that were out of control like heat and all the early spring rain storms. I had slugs on my beans too :(

I start the impatiens indoors around the middle of February and I use a grow light. That was the exact reason I started my own seeds, the cost. It’s a bit expensive starting out, but if you do it more than one year, the gear pays for itself. I grew wave petunias too, it was fun to see them grow and got me amped up for spring.
