The Wheelbarrow Must Get Through

Have you ever tried to push a loaded wheelbarrow over rocks? Trust me - it isn't easy!

Therefore the first thing that HAD to be done was to build paths.

I love winding paths and they make going up and down a grade in the land easier too. I love keeping what the land has given to me. This is the area I first envisioned a path (see the second post). I cleared as much loose rock as I could and the whitish color is sand I'm laying it in to further even out the path. I figure sand will fill in all the little spaces between the rocks. There is a little space between groups of Scruff Oak here and I decided to allow the path to go between. Scruff Oak only grows to around 12 - 20 feet high at this altitude. When these Scruff Oak grow up they will give nice shade for the path and create a little arch. They grow slow so I might not see it - but at least my children and grandchildren can enjoy it.

A better view of the path area.

As I said, some things need to stay where they are. This rock is
about 2 feet wide and almost as tall as my knees.
It's staying where it is!

And after A LOT of work the path TO the garden is done. As
you can see, the wheelbarrow travels nicely on the new path.
