It's been a while.
We pulled a couple invasive species bushes, still more to go. The hot dry summer fried the vinca that had received a little shade before we pulled the saplings. I found another small rock outcropping under a bush. (To the right of the original rocks). That side faces north, good sun in the summer, shade in the winter. Thinking maybe the top of the hill in semps and sedum, something else below.

This is a close up of the rocks. What kind of soil do I add to the crevices? The pile below is good sandy flood plain loam. Well drained but fine texture. I was thinking I should start packing that where I want to place semps so it will settle in until spring when I hope to start planting. Any suggestions? The more old posts I read the more I think this area will really work well.
