Rock Garden Report 2025- #2 (September)


I finished the third weed-through of the year for the rock garden. Not sure if I'll do another full one or just spot weed. It probably depends on how long the fall stays mild.

I think today I'll just show the progress over three seasons. There are a few new plants I haven't shared yet, but I'll save those.

Here is the straight-on view from the lawn today

And just to keep reminding myself of the progress, June 2023. Amazing! overgrown rock garden

Here are the views from the deck- upper portion today.

August 2024- pretty much the whole thing in one picture rock garden

And August of 2023. rock garden in progress

No wonder this is making me so happy. It really is starting to look like something of beauty.

Finished a big volunteer project today, consulted at length with someone on an editing job. Started another necessary task. Did a few other things.

What a huge difference in your rock garden. Not just from 2 years ago but even from last year

Java Bean: "Ayyy, we see Sunny peeking down at the garden up there!"

That's looking better and better!

Ann- I agree. I didn't expect it to look this good so soon

Sharkbytes said...

Bean- yes, poor Sunny is lonely. He hasn't been out of the driveway all year

Thank you, Stew!
