Here's my Backyard Outdoor Rock Garden - some of you recently helped me to empty it out a bit, for which I Thank You. All rocks collected in the 4-Corners states.

Gret looking rocks Susan. Sorry, but my rock garden consists of rocks in buckets, recycle bins, and anything else that will hold rocks.

Excellent rock garden Susa. Gonna have to stop in next time I go thru there. Need some good rock from NM for mine. We try to pick up some rocks from each state we visit.

Kim is this the stuff you still have for sale or is this stuff you're keeping for decoration? Looks awesome, you've done a great job decorating around the shop there.

Um Kim...I was being a smart ass, I meant the bags of potting soil. I say, That's a joke girl, girl's built too small, I keep pitching them and you keep missing them!(Foghorn Leghorn)

Susan your rock garden is amazing. I have a rock garden like stoner, in boxes all over my basement. That Chrysacolla looks a lot like the turquoise my sister brought home to me from Arizona.

I think I posted this before, but NMrocks started this link. Took me about 2 years hand picking rocks and hauling them home to finish the big one. Still in work. Finished. I dont think I'll every put something in the middle of my driveway again. It look's nice but a pain in the winter, and if you have a bunch of people come over, it's just something else for them to negotiate around. Still in work finishing the end of my driveway, I'm going to make the rock borders about 3' wide like the garden in the first 2 pic's. Thanks for looking. Jeff

Kim - I like 'em on the gravel. Keeps everything pretty clean, and easy to wet down without makin' mud puddles. Give Sands a little rake (with a long handle, of course) and tell him he's the Master of the Zen Garden.
Susan - Some really nice little piles in that big pile, especially the last three pics.

It's beautiful but I can see how the fountain would be a pain in the winter. Something else to mess with shoveling around too. Your rock gardens are lovely, what's the red stuff in them?
