More progress on the native plant garden!

When the city installed a concrete ramp to the driveway, they apparently left concrete waste hidden under the dirt, right where I meant to plant. I didn't take photos of me using a sledgehammer to break it up, because I borrowed it and I was in a hurry to return it.

But when I added a flimsy retaining wall at the bottom so I could make the ground more level, I used thin sections of waste concrete ("urbanite") from my demolition.

Had enough for today. Some of my black-handled tools are almost too hot to hold without gloves.

Got a gravel base down for flagstone. I'm experimenting with "urbanite" as well. Looking rather good I think. I thought it would look more junky mixed among the real stones. Some judicious sledge-hammer shaping involved.
