I redid my flower beds this weekend!! w/pics

So I wish I had a better before picture but the beds were already here when we bought the house. They had garden rocks in them and I wasn't a fan. We removed all the rocks and added new mulch and flowers. What I thought would be an easy process turned into a weekend long, labor intensive job. I am sunburned, tired and sore but we got it done and I love the mulch so much better!!

Craigslist. And hope that someone actually wants them. We have a ton of them too and are about to pay a landscaper to take them away for us because no one wanted them last summer.

I keep the nice rounded big ones in the hopes that I'll have a pond or something someday that I can put them in.

Thanks everyone!Chat Icon

Greenfreak - I wish I knew what they were. Those were actually there when we bought the house. I only added a few perennials around them.

Like Greenfreak said, I am going to take a picture of the pile (which is on my side yard) put it up on Craigslist and hope that someone will come haul them away. If not, Im not sure what we will do. That was something I didn't really think about before we started this. I just had no idea there would be so many.
