Would covering my semps in the rock garden work for me? I don't know who all remembers when i started making it a year ago.It's on a piece of ground that's a good slope.I added a lot of compost,rock etc...then there's rock on top.I have semp's on 1 side & sedum on the other with some sedum kinda mixed in a few places.

I thought you might could see the slope i started with then worked the ground & leveled it out some.

Here's progress so far with weeds,sweet gum saplings.Of course that long root where the lil saplings are coming from is our bed rootLynn,after it's name sake.My hubby really likes Miss Lynn Lovey dubby for saving him the back breaking job of chopping that root out of my bed (that's another story) Rolling on the floor laughing Rolling on the floor laughing

The point being the ground is already saturated and would i benefit from covering because the water would still run through my bed from top to bottom,just wouldn't fall directly on it right?? Confused

These sedums really seem to be holding their own in the flooding rains. Hurray!
A green thumb comes only as a result of the mistakes you make while learning to see things from the plants point of view!!
