Our back yard is finally completed. After three years of working on it, I am finally able to say, "Wow, I'm glad I did it." Last summer during the drought, I had my doubts. During the spring rains, we had no waterflow issues. The "dry creek" and underground drain system worked as we had hoped. What a relief !!

We ended up doing all of the labor ourselves, including major changes in existing sprinkler zones and digging the "dry creek" in hard red clay and I hope to never have to install another piece of flagstone ! LOL.

Thank you for all the suggestions, encouragement and plants received at DG roundups. DG-ers are the greatest !! Was very sorry to miss the April RU at Sybil's house but had to be out of town for several weeks due to family emergency.

Thanks, and Happy Gardening.
