@ValleyLynn WOW @ those Flamingos! Mine has the grayish leaves still and it's beautiful the way it is but if it goes those dynamite shades of pink all over...
Thanks for the links! She is definitely going into a nice pot! (back I go to the garden center).
@Eviesmummy, sure I will take some pics of my rockeries to post but mind you, they are in need of so much work, right now they are a hodge podge of perennials, pines, iris, misc plants I just threw in and I feel like digging the whole thing up and starting again. We had an Eastern Brown Snake infestation for a few seasons so the spring gardening was pretty much abandoned until we got that under control last year. Still, I almost put my hand on a baby brown snake a few days ago while clearing for a new rockery
.
@Paddy we do get flooding rains sometimes but usually only brief angry storms between long hot dry spells and our natural soil is pure decomposed granite and coarse sand, very free draining. We have horses and compost the manure for fertilizer and it does really well for the veggie garden, but that's pretty much all we use it for. I sometimes buy a bag of compost to mix in with the garden soil if it a plant really needs something in it.
I am also doing our entrance driveway which is a huge job for me and I'm kind of scared of it but I need to get it established before winter sets in - in June.
I'll go take some pics now!
