Tootin' my own horn a little: Small landscaping project

I'm not one to give myself a lot of praise, but yesterday I decided to do some landscaping work, and was really impressed how well it came out for my first attempt at landscaping. I dug up the bed, and started the trench for the bricks last night.

I started this morning about 10:00, and finished up around 2:30. I took a quick break to get something to drink, and had to make an extra trip to Lowe's.

I jacked all the plants from my wife's grandmother. They aren't the nicest or most exotic, but they make a hell of a difference compared to the dirt that was there before. The rocks were an afterthought, and were swiped from my neighbor, with his permission of course. I planted Heavenly Blue Morning Glories all along the fence, and on the other side that can't be seen in the picture. I can't wait for those to come up. They should give some much needed color.

Thanks for taking the time to look.
