M.'s Wall in the Snow, Seeing if I can find old pics of it... 1980's 1990's 2000's In Progress The yuccas, poppies, cornflowers, and 5 other var. of cactus, various wildflowers, buckeye, narcissus, daffodils. Finished in 2006 with three little stone chairs on top. Main form of rock wall connecting all the way around on the top level, which spills down to ten separate beds, including: a seven step spiral boulder staircase. Used to be J.'s adobe/rocks/boulder blind for hunting. A large boulder on the west side is a great place to see sunsets. Wheels, Wall, & Iris More close up than the next photo. Rustoleum makes some nice spraypaint to touch up antique wheels with - use cardboard to protect plants. Painted 4 paintings from it.
