All of the plants are in the ground,on a slope.So all water should run through the bed & down the hill.I don't have good soil,because of the way the land is sloped off into terraces (that's what we call them).The land goes down a slope,flattens out & then starts over going down hill the last terrace goes down to a creek.The wind has blown the soil down the slopes making the next terrace higher etc... hope that's explained clearly? Because of the hard wind blown and rain washed ground we bought truck load of forest mulch & i am using that mixed with mulched down leaves,it's a semi-raised bed with great drainage.We also aren't a wet climate,we stay in need of rain!! I don't remember the last rain.

The plants & even the stick that is producing babies,should i leave them on porch or can i go ahead & put in bed.This bed is in the making,i have put some plants in it but until i get more plants it's hard to place big rock.Pea pebbles have also been put in the bed,they have ended up mixed in the soil.I guess that's the last step huh. nodding LEARNING AS I GO !!!

I have 3 more plants 1 i am sure about putting in the bed in the summer the other 2 need to get an ID.

Graptopetalum paraguayense 'ghosty' is going outside this spring.

A green thumb comes only as a result of the mistakes you make while learning to see things from the plants point of view!!
