It's just before where I live,I can see it whenever I open the windows.You may call it a hill,however,it's only part of a hill,which has been removed by human beings.Small trees and plants as well compose a beautiful scene. More
Most of this is recycled material, down to the compost that fills it. We spend our winter pulling nails and staples out of recycled wood mostly from pallets and machine crates. Some of the beds still have the square foot gardening grid on them. Im still deciding if I like… More

What do you listen to as far as music goes? Seeing as I'm 50 my tastes are definitely along the old time rock lines. (Go figure!) I love me some Carlos Santana, Bob Seger (his early stuff) Tom Petty, Eric Clapton; Sarah Mclachan and Nora Jones for easy listening. I… More

This poem was inspired after a "walk about" in my friend's garden I've planted this garden amidst the rocks and the woods. I go there everyday. I've fashioned a wall out of some of the rocks. There I sit and pray. I thank the Lord for the gifts I have.… More
Has anybody got any ideas for any ORANGE or yellow flowers for my rock wall? I want to plant some Ajuga Reptans 'Atropupurea'. I've read that Lysimachia nummularia (Creeping Jenny)is a nice yellow flower but I'd really like the orange/purple contrast. I live in zone 7 above 6000 ft. It's… More
I am thinking about using small river rock as a mulch in my flower beds. Does anyone know of any problems this might create? Thanks. More
Hi! Love your birdsnest fern on the rock. I have one in a pot. I'd love one like yours. Did you get it on-line or somewhere near you? Patty:) More
I found a site that lists rock garden plants, but doesn't sell the plants. There were so many darling little plant. However most said to protect from winter moisture. Does that mean you have to grow them in troughs and move to covered patio in winter? More

I need white, burgungy or yellow flowers for late spring (like about now-zone 5a) because my late spring front yard is catmint (purple), cranesbill (purple), creeping phlox (purple) and grape hyacinth (you guessed it, purple). I purpled myself out! I do have some snow-in-summer that is white in the rock… More

Im considering creating a rock garden. I was wondering if anyone thought that one made up of all different kinds of sedum would be too much? Ive never done one and dont know that I am creative enough to pull it off, but I do have lots of sedum type… More
Well it looks like a firepit to me. I pulled 2 more boulders into it, and the only way I think I can change it is if I tear it apart and start over. I just finished it yesterday and added some plants. I'm not done planting of course, it… More
