Your hubby does indeed deserve special recognition for doing such a great job-even changing in the middle. I'm nit sure mine would have been good natured about that. :)<br /><br />I do like the addition of the grass. It sets off the planted area so well. I also like the pathways in there, all the better to get closer to the plantings. It will be fun to watch them amture and to see what else you add.<br /><br />I hope your hubby reads your post so that he knows just how proud you are of him for helping with this and of course for being the great father he is.beckiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06400859161321357279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5651081377378962304.post-43225175074097866022009-06-22T18:42:01.203-04:002009-06-22T18:42:01.203-04:00Your new garden is lovely!
