Stairway To Nowhere




I sometimes wonder if I really like gardening... or is it actually garden construction that I love? I have a concern that when I finally stop expanding or changing the garden, that I'll soon become bored with it. I have an area piled high with accumulated lumber, stones, bricks and other stuff that might someday be useful in my projects; it looks like a salvage yard and I've had to build a fence to hide it (see at bottom).
Currently I've just finished (among other things) a stairway, using some of the used materials. The stairway runs down a small hillside; the trouble is, it's a stairway to nowhere; it just ends in a muddy ditch (we'll call it a small ravine). I'm thinking I'll now build a landing at the bottom of the stairs, to make a destination for the stairs. People can then stand there ... and look around the ditch.

I think that's the charming thing about gardening, that there's no such thing as "done"
 
And why not? ha. Eventually you'll have that "ditch" straightened out, too! ;-)
 
LOLOL - or i bet you have already created images in your head for the area - maybe a chair there beside a filled in ravine converted to a nice garden area or a dry riverbed with interesting river rocks/stones or maybe even a zen garden. it sounds like you are always working on something in your head...such an exciting way to garden.
 
Megan... I have five different projects going right now.

Shady & Sky... it will be the future site of the 'Babbling Brook".
