OMG Christopher, Is there a flat spot at the bottom of your mtn below your rock wall? Other wise don't have a clue. Things like that are for flat landers.
That's easy! You just need a new client, someone interesting enough to try this and with flat enough land for you to pull it off for them.
:)
Well there is that space where a house is going to go someday to the right and behind the cabin, but who says a maze has to be completely level?
Another rich fun client would be good too Kim.
I'm a flatlander but I don't have space for a labyrinth either. I hear walking them can be very relaxing. Is there any room near the veggie garden? I like the idea of Uncle Ernie watching over your contemplative path!
Good point on the levelness... although you might have to make your maze squared-off and use steps to go up and down between levels, no? (Just thinking that an incline would wash path materials down to the low end of the maze... but that terracing would negate that problem.)
Where there is a will there is a way. Of course I need to go from a notion to the will.
I did think about the spot to the right of your cabin. But thought that was for a house. But you could enjoy the labyrinth until the house materializes.
You would never have the lack of will to do anything you wanted. Look at what you've accomplished in the last 3 yrs.
Could you terrace one below your house? Maybe instead of boxwood or whatever, use a palette of 3-5 repeating perennials. It wouldn't have to be round. It could be rectangular.
I've thought about this myself. It's an active component of my fantasy life.
(Just enlarged teh picture. CLearly not boxwood. Armeria maybe or some kind of grass.)
Oh, and I see you've already figured out it doesn't have to be level.
Hi Christopher! I agree with Chuck and that would certainly work, but part of the beauty and peacefulness of the one in your picture is that it is round. As for it being a maze, have you seen any of the mazes they do in corn fields up there? I believe the one in Canton is open now. There is another one near you too, maybe Dillsboro or Bryson City. A fun outing! An Uncle Ernie watching over a corn maze would indeed be
a "hoot"! :)
I vote for the corn maze with uncle Ernie in charge.
Chuck this maze was made with Mondo Grass, Ophiopogon. I could do it with Liriope and it would bloom in late summer. I'll fantasize about this using the big boulders as well in the bottom of the sunny utility valley where their is a modicum of level space in a more rectangular shape.
Lola that is what I was thinking as a possibility. Have a maze where the house will go one day.
A corn maze? Uncle Ernie has other chores and I don't think I could urinate, I mean irrigate, that much corn by myself.
I saw this morning while waiting for the volunteer fire department to put out the burning truck just down from my driveway that someone had been eating the old remnant corn last night. Peeled back the husks quite neatly and ate the whole ears to the nub. Granted these were very tiny ears.
