I love seeing your little helpers in the photos :0) We made a herringbone path from our side gate out to the side walk last Summer . . . and it turned out great. There's a certain charm about brick that I love.<br />I noticed a few white Vinca lining your new path . . . so pretty. I just planted a bunch in our patio last week :0)<br />As always, thanks for sharing you beautiful garden with us.<br />Have a great week,<br />SuzanneSimply Suzannes at Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00626136028481867423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2733342915429018771.post-68533514951145345272014-07-30T00:59:21.108-07:002014-07-30T00:59:21.108-07:00What a lot of work you've put into your garden...What a lot of work you've put into your garden! Definitely worth it though as it looks amazing and your new path is great. I have the same problem here with neighbours who don't tend to their garden, it is so annoying!Paula @ Blooms 'n' Spadeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04008810455640357013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2733342915429018771.post-76673085669444009352014-07-27T21:47:03.415-07:002014-07-27T21:47:03.415-07:00Wowza! That was some productive week you had. And ...Wowza! That was some productive week you had. And way to go to the Girl! She is a super Gardener in the making I think. Your re-done path looks so nice and you will enjoy it each and every time you go outside. And as you said last week, new compost looks so nice. Glad that you treated yourself to the plants - you deserved them all!<br /><br />As for disbuding, when you look at your dahlia plant, you will be that it produces buds ( future blooms) in groups of three. There tends to be one large one in the middle and then two smaller ones on each side of it. When they are small, gently bend off the two side ones. Yest you will have two less bloom son that stem. But you will end up with one much larger bloom, beautifully framed by a set of leaves and a much stronger stem because it is only supporting one bloom. Even if I stopped growing dahlias to show and just grew them all of enjoyment in the home, I would still disbud. And when the rains come (like last week!), your are much less likely to have your plants - even stalked plants - come crashing down if you disbud. There is just less plant material and stronger stems on the dahlia.<br /><br />PS, keep track of your Fav dahlias that I post this year. I would be more than glad to put 5-6 of your favs in the mail to you next Spring.Lexahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11067337116117320740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2733342915429018771.post-74163622233462467162014-07-27T08:45:16.181-07:002014-07-27T08:45:16.181-07:00Seriously, that's the mantra around here.

Nope, not at all Missy!! Yep, I build rock walls, make stone paths, move bushes/trees, mulch & edge flower beds, build a fire-pit, etc. We are garden warriors :) :) :) If I waited for my husband to do all the "hard" work......it would never get done, ok maybe done, but after a few years of waiting :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17652832782164271871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2733342915429018771.post-34849144836804902272014-07-24T23:02:21.826-07:002014-07-24T23:02:21.826-07:00So.

Well the least you could do was reward yourself with a few plants which, I see, you had plenty of room to set out so you aren't a Plant Hoarder or anything like that. The path looks wonderful congrats on the Girl Helper she has the makings of a great gardener if she is willing to do grunt work like that!
