Yard Projects in Progress: Part One Adding Rocks

by - 6/16/2020 12:00:00 AM

This past weekend was pretty busy for me. If you follow me on Instagram. I picked up another plant this past weekend, and I also decided to tackle some mini backyard projects. This was all kickstarted on my trip to Walmart and the Dollar Tree. I was hoping to have another raised bed built. I was on the hunt for some garden soil and potting mix soil. Walmart didn't have exactly what I needed. However, I did pick up a few items. I ended up visiting a local Dollar Tree, and I was pleasantly surprised with some of my garden finds. I initially just wanted to purchase some styrofoam cups. However, I found the super cute little cute garden cups that included twelve in a pack. I was hoping to transfer some of my seedlings into larger cups. Once I transferred my plants. I ended up tackling some backyard mini-projects. 
I went to my local home depot a couple of weeks ago, and they were all out the rocks/stones in which I wanted. I was so happy when I found these rocks and stones around my yard. Which saved me some money. I also never paid any attention to the fact that I had periwinkle and wood pern growing in my yard. Which was another time and money saver seeing how I did not have to run to my local store to pick up those items. I moved most of those plants to other areas around my yard. Though, these projects are not officially complete. I wanted to share my current projects in progress. I'm still trying to decide if I'm just going to have mulch delivered to eliminate store runs, just in case I decide to add more projects. I wasn't expecting to create so many projects for myself this weekend. However, I'm truly happy that I did. Below, I'm sharing some of the yard projects that I have in progress. 

Are you currently working on any projects?
