Angie,
Laughing because you remind me of me. I am just a beginning gardener but have been "collecting" stuff (plants, potting soil, trellises, pots) for about three years and growing things in pots on my deck (or at least trying to). I had no "beds" and didn't have the strength (bad ticker) to dig and prepare them myself. This year I bit the bullet and hired a landscaping company to dig and prepare the beds ... that was all ... just dig and amend. I wanted to do all the planting, edging, mulching, etc. myself. I thought I knew what I wanted and just spent a whole week doing a shade bed and edging it with brick. Now I don't like it and want to try edging it with rock. That's more than 150 bricks, 20 bricks to a wheelbarrow load, a week's worth of work ... and now I want to change it? If you're crazy, then so am I!

I have since added more plants but this is the way it looks ... a little too "neat" for my liking.
