Passing the rain test

At last, we had enough rain to test our drainage in the front yard by the roses.  Before I fixed the gutters and installed 3 gravel drains, it was pront to flooding.  The sidewalk leading up to the front door was a mess of debris from the rose bed.  Now, I am *fairly* confident that the bark dust will stay where it belongs.  It was nice to finish off the front yard.

    That looks really nice! I love the look of freshly barked gardens. Nice job.
