Creating edges and walls in the garden

Lately, we have been working on replacing the edging on some of our garden beds.  We have used limbs from downed trees as edging on some garden beds, but the limbs tend to decompose quickly and are a bit messy.  We decided to use recycled concrete pieces for the edging on one of our backyard beds.  Here are a couple of pics of the newly constructed concrete rubble edging.

We also had a spot that needed a "retaining wall" in the newly created garden bed area.  We used the larger pieces of recycled concrete to create a small wall.  This is a picture of the new wall.

Flowers (while never absent from our garden) are now becoming more numerous.  Here are a few of the current flowers in bloom.
