My favorite store: the quarry


Best shop in town! I drive onto the scale with my car on the way in and wait for the guy to give me the thumbs up. I prowl the premises, load up with about 30 large rocks, drive back onto the scale and get a second thumbs up from the guy.

Total price: less than a brownie and frappucino. Rewards: creating a new raised bed! I honestly can't think of another store that I walk out of, receipt in hand, feeling so giddy from!

    What a fun way to go shopping. Just load up the car and pay by weight. Very cool.

    It is good to know other people are as obsessed about rocks as I am.

    I love rocks. Rock rocks rocks, everywhere, but they are pricey. I have to get mine at a landscaper and he must have tons of overhead (pun intended in there). I have a chunk of iron ore rock from northern MN, with bands of rusting iron in it that's pretty neat.

    I love the quarry, too! I'm slowly, but surely, gathering enough goodies for a garden path.

My awesome gardening friends...thanks for leaving a comment! I don't typically repond here, but I love knowing who you are so I can visit your blog as well.

btw - if you're trying to show me nude Miley Cyrus photos, sell me nikes or viagra or antibiotics, or encourage my lovely garden readers to visit your site on solar panel construction, or seo-whatevers, sorry, but I'm not publishing your comment. If you want to moderate my blog - well, I can't keep you too busy, and the pay would be horrible. And lastly, no. I'm not interested in Club Penguin cheat codes. Thanks anyway.
