Still thinking things through, would appreciate advice

full sun? I'm on my 3rd marsh marigold this season. none survive more than a week in my bog... it looked like it'll survive, sending new leaves, then die...

Are they in the water or in the gravel? Mine are in the gravel part of the bog and do fine. They die back about this time of year [in this part of the country, at least], but they'll come back in the spring. First time I grew them I thought they were dead, so I'm glad I didn't pull them, but left them alone.

IDK, but the signal I use when I feed the fish is the 4-beat (x4) tap on the rocks: tap, tap, tap, tap -- pause -- repeat 4 times.

M m M MASTER!!!

plan to use them for future landscaping.

I was just thinking that there were some pretty nice rocks there. Great for landscaping!

This one was my “white whale”.

I couldn’t budge it, no movement at all. Tried many levers, all bent. I knew that even if I could roll it to the side, I could never get it over the frame. My son (the geologist) suggest blasting, but my neighbors already hate me (my grass is not kept at the 1.9975 inch length specified by the townie code). I said “I bet you ten dollars that when you come back in an hour, the rock will be gone”. He came back, this is what he saw.

How did I move the rock?

Either burried it, or somehow lifted the frame and passed it underneath, or different camera angle.....?

Yup. I dug a 2' hole next to it (got more rocks for my collection); dug underneath the rock until I could tip in into the hole. Only thing, I miscalculated by about an inch. That inch really bugs me (it's my "angry inch" for those fans of Hedwig).

I totally dislike townie codes.... One of the reasons we bought a house out in farm land. Most of our land is UN seen by neighbors, even if seen they would never complain about anything.
Good rock moving!
