You know Bev, the bed really isn't that big.I think it's the weird shaped i at right now.I'm going to work on it some today the weather has really been nice last couple days!! I'm going to try to do something about that weird shape.I have no idea where to go with it now,up,down,wider.

Whats up with the acorn at the bottom with all the little guys????

Jojoe, see how things grow with what you have planted. And as time goes by and you are seeing the bed as a backgroundd instead of as someplace you have to do something with, I think the bed will start looking different and you will see where more work or more plants or more greenery or more rock will be needed. I think stepping back and looking at it is good for now.

Thanks bev, I have places i need to add pea gravel,plants that still need to be planted & not just in that bed i have another bed that needs some work,The rock bed has a couple places i need to build up.I have a couple big rocks i am going to use my hubby to add while we're outside.I also want to try Greg's idea of putting a couple of 'mother of thousands in it.Down the back side i didn't add as much compost mixed with gravel,I planted a Penstemon that come back good & a Agastache 'blue fortune' that didn't come back this spring.I read last week not to cut them back until spring because the stalks are hollow so water goes down them & rots the plant.I guess i learned that lesson the hard way!!

I also have 2 rose campion to plant.I have a whole yard to work on,i have to watch that i don't get tunnel vision on my sedum & semp's!
