Finishing up with the bed...

 Thrifty Thursday takes place each Thursday and is hosted by Leigh at Tales from Bloggeritaville,
I believe this belongs in Thrifty Thursday cause I saved a bundle doing the job myself...

It's Vintage Thingie Thursday over at Colorado Lady's place...don't forget to go by and tell Suzanne how much you appreciate her sponsoring it for us...
Vinatage item is the old iron bed I used for a trellis...
A few weeks ago I told y'all about buying an old iron bed that I was going to use in my yard as a trellis, you can read about it here...

I told y'all that I plan to use the head part for a cover up in front of our gas tank, well I have finally gotten around to getting it put together...actually I had to wait till the round up I used to get rid of the old wild rose and other stuff that was grown around the tank had wore off.. Tuesday Morning I got up and decided it was time..first I took up the old walk stepping stones and used a mold to pour a new walk way...

 I started out by doing a lot of shovel work, had to half way level the area I wanted to pour the paves out. It was a slow go also, I only had one mold so I had to pour one let it set up for about an hour and them carefully lift it up and move it to the next area.

I finally got the three sections poured..woo, that was hot dirty work.

You can see a hint of the flower bed in the back ground, nothing done there until Weds.

Weds morning I started putting in the flower bed after cementing the bed to the ground. It isn't quite as wide as the gas tank but I plan to put an Azalea on each side...

ChiChi was enjoying the sun shine...

 I put Ivy in the back of the bed to grow up on the trellis and hopefully hide the gas tank, I know when it gets bigger I will have to keep it trimmed but that's an easy job...

 I loaded the bed with several different kinds plants that has purple blooms and added a few pink petunias

after mulching the bed I raked and leveled out the yard around both projects and added new grass seed.

I still need to add some border on each side of the path and am going to put some Azealias on the right side between the walk way and the pump house.

I'm thinking I might add a few more sections to the path and make it longer...we'll see.
