This is my new path I've been fighting with the weather to finish this week. This area used to have the most wonderful border of Hostas along the top where the first step is. They were planted almost 10 years ago and with two years of severe drought combined with basically total neglect in this area they just withered away :( We started amending the soil when we noticed the Hostas failing and now it's ready for a whole new design! There's quite a steep slope here so I had the brilliant idea of collecting rocks and making steps - not so brilliant because it robbed me of time that should have spent planting! I'm glad I persevered because now I have all these wonderful "pockets" to plant wildflowers in along the edges :)
