  • The pieces of PVC pipe set out and marked to create the new flowing bedlines. I was using 120 feet of pipe to create these long bedlines.

A trick to laying out near perfect curved bedlines.

If you have ever tried to mark off long curved lines by hand, you probably know that it is not easy. What seems like a nice curved line while marking ends up with it having strange bumps and not so smooth curves. A trick to laying out very nice curves is to use several long lengths of 3/4 inch pvc pipe. I prefer using schedule 20 irrigation pipe, as it is already in 20 foot lengths and one end of each pipe has a bell end, so they slide together. ...»

We then used a combination of flagstone and several types of groundcovers to create movement and interest through the entire space. 1

    and rocks that would never be found together and a path or pattern that is not natural. This however, is a job well done. I am sure the homeowners as well as the wildlife are happy as can be. Congratulations, it looks beautiful!

I forgot about this pic I took last fall at Zoo Atlanta. Horticultural jokes are great.

As I walked past this sign last fall, I just had to take a pic. It made me laugh.

  • Any guesses on this vine?  The leaves look like those on an oak.

Gardening: Saw this today in a wooded area at a client's house. Anyone recognize it? I had to look it up to verify it.

We saw this today in a wooded area while doing some plantings. The leaves are shaped very much like an oak leaf, but it is a vine. Any guesses?
