That looks really really good Alex, are you finding it enjoyable as well as hard work.

Not sure what the plant is myself is it a Caster oil plant? I don't know, what is it?

Are you going to put gravel on the top Alex?

Re: My Rockery!!!!!!


Well, I know it's not rhubarb lol, as it had to be dug out of another flower bed and was trasnplanted in to that one. Looking a bit wilted now (gulp) but hopefully it will pick back up over the next few days! I have no idea if it's a geranium or not though!!

I have no idea Kazz, I was hoping you could tell me lol! I don't know whether I'll put gravel on or not. I do like that look, but I love seeing plants in soil too! I will wait and see how the plants take over first.

Re: My Rockery!!!!!!


Oh and I'm finding it ever so enjoyable (especially when Robert does all the hard labour lol). Seeing that finished article tonight was fab. He also cut the grass and put up my brackets and hanging baskets (need some plant ideas for those please) and some wall pot holders. It is just looking brilliant!!
