But then you rub that paste all over rocks and trees and any garden item to get a beautiful moss covering. Something in the yogurt helps grow moss.Danielles Gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14112638800254846330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4288778153586473465.post-5629606974350126332010-03-31T22:19:54.578-04:002010-03-31T22:19:54.578-04:00Glad to see your garden is on the mend.

I'm afraid I would have to have a very large "coral reef" container, maybe the size of a kiddie pool, as that theme seems to have unlimited potential for some really cool plant collecting.Floridagirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16357453320897720393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4288778153586473465.post-23282458747876502602010-03-31T10:15:23.935-04:002010-03-31T10:15:23.935-04:00Julie: I loved your spring flowers post!

Great minds think alike!<br /><br />mraloha1: They are expensive, but if you get them when they're small you save $!<br /><br />Ami: My rose hasn't flowered yet, but I got it as a bareroot so I'll give it time and fertilizer.<br /><br />Nanak: I loved your informative post on bog plants since thats the same situation I have! We'll have to keep each other posted<br /><br /><br />Kimberly and africanaussie: When I'm a homeowner someday I'll have more space for edibles, especially unusual ornamental ones! I'll make a raised bed too... if only.<br /><br />sanddune: I like to go on hikes in the woods and the drier areas have these terrestrial lichens called deer moss that soak up the dew in the morning. absolutely beautiful.<br /><br />James: Ideally I would be able to incorporate a water garden with fish, but I'll probably use glass marbles, shells, sea glass and sculpture first. I might experiment with mirrors at the bottom of shallow dishes of water to reflect shimmering light, and suspend cloissone fish on flexible wire to sway in the breeze like a mobile.<br /><br />Stephanie: I'm glad someone appreciates that canna!

Avoid flowering plants and green coloured plants.<br /><br />I wonder how you are going to mimic the sea waving plants and those idealistic fish that runs and hide in between the reefs when disturbed...

I like the idea of your edibles mixed in with other plantings, and rather clever that you have thought of when other plantings dying back will allow more space to harvest.africanaussiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16660727599623626163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4288778153586473465.post-34255175360639546742010-03-30T17:11:43.004-04:002010-03-30T17:11:43.004-04:00Your garden is coming to life!
