My son was glancing over my shoulder as I was looking at this, and he said a elephant ear leaf would be good. LOL, and I thought it may be.

And my kids say I'm on here too much, then he has the idea for the bird bath LOL. I just grinned and agreed.

That would be awesome, and then make some stepping stones to match, couldn't you just use less sand to start with, and then the stones would be flatter?

I dont think you could they dry out so fast I cut them right before doing the cement for that reason. I noticed that I have about 5 more growing being an organic grower I have lots of weed problems, and not the good kind lol

I usually yank out the burdocks as soon as I see them. I'm going to have to put a protective fence around this one!!

too thin, I use molds for stepping stones like the celtic ones in the pic, although if you made a base of sorts and did the leaf ontop that could work....
