It "entertained" me, anyway...

Since mid-May I've been unemployed. Here's what has occupied my time.

Wow! What beautiful handiwork, good to know you weren't just sitting around wasting your time on online forums. (And we all know what a colossal waste of time those are. )

The hill was originally ivy covered and quite ugly. We had a Rhododendron that was languishing at the front of our property so I decided to transplant it to see if it would survive. I removed a patch of the ivy and dug the hole for the Rhodo. That was the beginning. The ivy rolled off so easily I cleared the whole hill (about 12') in under an hour.

Digging in the hill I found buried a wide variety of brick, stone and sections of some type of foundation which I used for the foundation of the rectangular bed to the left. The only expense I have in that particular bed is for the timbers. All the plants came from other areas of the property and I made my own mulch.

But then we had this big, bare hill. We had three trees cut down earlier and one was hollow. I cut those hollow sections more uniform but didn't know what to do with them until the idea of making them planters. So I cut them diagonally and set them in the hill. The idea for the tier was by how they fit the hill.

I suppose the rest is history.
