My creative designer worked so hard this morning.

We got so much done this morning. First carrying all the concrete blocks to the planter area. Then the bag of dirt. Jose brought two but I only thought it would take one and the 1/2 one I already had. It took several different combinations until we had a design we both liked.

Then we cut up, or sawed up plastic bottles to keep the dirt in the blocks that are not on solid ground. While Emilio started filling them and the area around them with dirt, I gathered more bricks and rocks. It turned out we did need the other bag of dirt - this creation took lots - so we dragged it from the front. Thank heavens Jose knew better than me.

He didn't want to get his shirt all dirty so it turned out my tee shirt that says I brake for fabric fit just fine. It was the only really big one I have here.

I can't wait to get started planting. There are areas of dirt outside the blocks for flowers and some areas that are 2 blocks deep. There is a lot of variety. And, so many places to plant! I like it better than anything I have seen and it fits my area really well. I don't know if the big leafed plant on the left is a plant or a weed but I am leaving it for now. There are also a bunch of pink and green leaves that I am leaving. We used up every block I could find including a half one and a partially broken one. I still have rocks to put out and maybe a few more bricks.

I love it and many thanks to Emilio. I am sure without his creative talent it would not have turned out near as good. I will post pictures when it is all planted.
