Post #4907035

I'm putting down a small patio of tumbled pavers in the left rear corner of my garden. The border is probably eight feet deep on the left fence side, and five feet deep on the rear fence (it curves) , so it will definitely be flanked by lots of plants. However, I'm now realizing that I will have to do some shuffling around. And enlarging the borders to wrap around the patio. I really want plants that will trail over the patio, so that it will have that overgrown, always-been-there look. KWIM?

Now, if only I could afford some nice furniture. I think a small bistro set would look nice there, but I'd rather have two very nice, comfy chairs and an end table between them - classic, not modern.

Any pictures to show me?

Thanks!

I'll try to get a picture up tomorrow. We put the pavers right on top the grass, to figure out the design and shape I wanted, and how much we would need. (I need more, of course.) Boy, do we have a lot of work to do!
