Lol. Oh, I have lilies. I have lilies everyfuckingwhere. They spread like poison ivy. And when I want to cut some down like right in the way of my lawn mower, the wife freaks out.

I'm not liking lilies as much these days. But they are nice when they stay where you put them.
i want these to spread, but they're in an isolated patch of ground, they can fill that whole patch, then they have to cross the driveway to spread anymore

I have been a busy bee. All winter I sat on my ass on RIU growin my plants and now the landscaping season has kicked off to full gear. HEres a couple pics of this last jobsite I was at. Before and after angles aren't quite the same but you get it.View attachment 4133600 View attachment 4133601Actually those angles are perfect I retract my statement.View attachment 4133605View attachment 4133604 A good half my wall is missing from these pics but drystack rock wall is my favorite thing to do. I'll stack rock on days off. No concrete, road base, or cut stone. Completely natural rock sealed with gravity. It would have taken half the time if we weren't training a couple new guys. It always makes me feel bad when I have to rip down huge sections of wall lol.
Nice work man. I have stone and brick work posted all over the accomplish thread.
I'll post some random pics everyone seen a billion times

Sorry I'm on an old phone. No dry stack pics on this. But I do love dry stacking. Looks great when done right. It's a tough art for lots of people

And what should seal me into the masonry hall of fame on RIU

The lawnmower chimney:

Still makes me laugh. But by far the biggest most heavy chimney I ever tore down and built back up

I have you to thank for my understanding of the importance of Lawnmower beds to the structural integrity of a chimney, bless you :D Beautiful work some of that should be in CN's thread
