Gardening with Bif

Nope - Not a new nick name - when you have a son that's a Geological Engineer, you have to include a little B.I.F. in your landscape.  B.I.F. is Banded Iron Formation.  This is what they mine at Tilden mine where Walt worked last summer.  Walt has provided me with rocks that have quartz pieces and green junk in them (I'm sure there is a better name for those), native float copper and slate.  I made steps out of the slate.  

The Gardens are shapin' up - but I have a way to go!!!

Keep the green side up Cats!

Very nice, Jim. I see you got the mulch.

Our garden, Wally's bedroom, his car, the Houghton house - lots of rocks! Watch out Aimee!

the bright green crap is epidote! The dark, forest green crap is chlorite!
