Basically I just intend to gravel it and make sure it drains in the right direction.<BR/><BR/>Once all the cabin's mechanical works are in I will look at it to see what I can do to mitigate the ugly if possible.Christopher C.

I know forsythia is common, but it is such a bright spot in the early spring with its brilliant yellow flowers. I love to cut it and bring in the stalks of yellow blooms to bring color into the house. How high is your wall under the house going to be? What are your plans for the clay behind it? Are you planning a shade garden under the house or Sirianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2611983692965659884.post-52350726630500178612009-03-28T08:20:00.000-05:002009-03-28T08:20:00.000-05:00Lola, the flat area beneath the cabin created by t...Lola, the flat area beneath the cabin created by the two walls is indeed a patio that is approximately 15 x 30 feet. It will be good for sun or shade, wet or dry sitting, as long as it isn't raining or snowing sideways.<BR/><BR/>Les, even though I do have the space, forsythia seems to want to sucker and spread into giant mounds, the snobbish gardener in me can't give up the room to such a common Christopher C.

I plan on keeping my pruners close to it, as I don't want it to overrun the small spot I have it planted in.Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18281256160705697856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2611983692965659884.post-39212772263575151312009-03-27T22:22:00.000-05:002009-03-27T22:22:00.000-05:00Fantastic Christopher.
