Well, maybe someday then.
Heh-heh...yeah, rock gardening with alpines comes along with a pretty steep learning curve here, I think, but I'm still looking forward to experiencing the process. I'm running maybe 50/50 with what I planted in it last fall. By that I mean that I see signs of life on about half of it now. I'm still hopeful for the rest, but a lot of these are early season plants, so you'd think they'd be doing something by now. I am tickled to see that all of the seedlings I started last year made it through winter okay. The ones that are iffy are mature plants that I ordered in last fall.
The east end is mostly hugel bed/stumpery with rock overlay, and it's looking pretty good considering it's in its first spring.
The west end is trickier due to a number of factors, but I'll keep on working with it.
It still needs a lot of bigger rocks and a little more "dressing-up" to suit me, so I'll add to it whenever I'm able.
