The tarps were used to cover all the soil I dug for the terracing of the slope so the rains wouldn't wash it away! I continued to plant a few more things that don't show (Hostas, etc.) because they're dormant but then I was interrupted with another project - more on that in the next few posts! We added four posts along the steps (railing be added later)and I ordered two solar post caps for the two lower posts and bought wooden caps for the top posts. I didn't bother to order four solar lights because I don't think there's enough sun at the top of the steps to charge them! Instead of spending a lot of time every morning on DG I was busy planning the "design" with Photoshop :) I've made a few changes to the "design" but this is the look I'm striving for! I'll be spending time collecting rocks over the winter and finish off the terracing in preparation for the final planting in the spring and hopefully find enough flat stones to finish the area in front of the steps :)
