Rock mulch

Growing up in the seventies, all the neighborhood was mulched with rocks. Evergreens and rocks in every front yard. Maybe I just had too much of it, because I grew to dislike the evergreens and rocks. But, this week, I succumbed.

All around the air conditioner grew tall weeds and thick grasses and maple trees. I'd pull them out every now and then. The little trees have mighty strong roots for something that size. And the grasses are hard to pull out too. So I mulched with rocks. I wanted to find some pretty ground cover, but I know that would take awhile. I'm not loving the rocks, but I will love not weeding that spot. I suppose I should keep some Roundup handy.
