It seems the paths have grown in nicely and your square round is the perfect meeting spot for the different paths. We have found that desirable seedlings grow very well in the gravel, better even than the beds, with the cool root run and moisture retention. One of these days seeds are actually going to be human sown in those paths to see what results.<br />FrancesFranceshttp://fairegarden.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1376606540097525538.post-19678017276026446102009-06-24T13:38:02.232-04:002009-06-24T13:38:02.232-04:00Hi Lisa,

I have the paving bricks to do a couple more paths. Now I am waiting for cooler temps...maybe in October? It is too hot for me to do much outside. Keeping the deck pots watered and the bird baths filled is about it! I just heard the temp on the radio...103!

I especially liked the width of those paths. As for me, this year I am thrilled to have free wood chips from the Town, laid on top of cardboard. But I still haven't managed to make them wide enough. Definitley keeps down the mud and I don't have a real slope to worry about.Commonweederhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10913336590036045901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1376606540097525538.post-83839023979964759732009-06-22T09:42:36.364-04:002009-06-22T09:42:36.364-04:00I love it Lisa...and it enhances your garden...whi...I love it Lisa...and it enhances your garden...which is so lovely!
