Northeast Gardening: This Year's Project - Stone Patio, Screen Porch & New Beds!, 1 by SongsofJoy

I'm in the process of building a bluestone patio surrounded by brand new beds. I noticed over the weekend (as I slaved in the hot sun) that this section of my yard gets far more sun than I originally thought - from about 10am to 4pm. Until last year when we cut down several trees to make way for the addition on the house, the most sun I got in any one spot of my whole yard was about 3 hours so "full sun" is unchartered territory for me when it comes to landscaping. This is where I'm hoping for some help from my friends here!

First the patio....after 22 hours of my time this past weekend, I'm only about half done and my whole body aches! Only 22 hours to go (I think I can, I think I can...)
