Brownstoner Garden Update
We know it doesn’t look like much has happened this week, which is kinda true, but the supporting wall has been completed and the bluestone edging for the planting beds along the side have been laid. Today is supposed to be the big day when we get the rest of the sod. Previously: Getting There…

where did you get the bluestone?
Where are you going to plant the herbs?
Apologies if this has been asked in earlier forums on your backyard renovation, but did who did you use?
Thomson must have missed the earlier post re: concrete hazard. Mrs. Brownstoner has hired a (local–and green!) security firm to monitor play during daylight hours in the rec yard, but was undecided on watchdog versus electric fence in case junior Brownstoners sneak out at night. Thank God there is no water feature–or mylar balloons!
Got to get one of those vintage push mowers to cut the grass. My dad had one because he insisted it cut the grass precisely. My brothers and I believe it was some kind Abu Ghraib type of humiliation based torture, as everyone else had self propelled riding mowers. I think its the way Opus Dei followers cut their grass.
agreed on the grass. It’s lookin’ sexier. And it’s making me itchy to go home and water our newly laid seed. Go grass, grow grass, pleeeese!
Read William Alexander’s $64 Tomato for his sod sob story. NB: Be careful with rose bushes, japanese beetles, grubs….
The grass looks happier than in earlier photos…Can’t wait to see the finished product.
looks great. coming together now, won’t be long ’til your sippin margaritas and watching the kids torture each other.
