The first batch got froze and flooded. I did get five mallow from that first sowing though. Hopefully this second attempt in better temperatures and better seed trays will have better success.<br /><br />Hi Gail. I'm liking the roof framing too. We have that Hypericum up here now.

I like them better than ground hardwood mulch you have to pay for.<br /><br />Frances, I can use a few vigorous plants with all the space I need to cover. I'll just be replacing other vigorous plants. I'll e-mail you about visits.<br /><br />Thanks Carol. I think it came out very well. It was an inspired idea a while back.

They evoke one of my favorite memories of a vacation. My first moose sighting. Seeing a moose grazing through a roadside bed of lupines. Totally ignoring us sitting there in our car beside it taking pictures. Yes, you can sit on the porch looking up thinking how great thou art. Excellent job hiding the screws.

It must have taken you so much time to measure, cut, sand, glue, etc...but then, that is the meticulous work that I have seen you do throughout the building process! It looks beautiful.

Easily ripped out though. They will be a sea of yellow in short order. Just a warning. The porch roof looks fabulous, but what a lot of cuts. I will send the wish of no rain and good glue your way. You will get more plants to add to the wood chips soon, this coming week sound okay?<br /Franceshttp://fairegarden.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2611983692965659884.post-52022020587726588342009-06-13T00:39:58.641-05:002009-06-13T00:39:58.641-05:00Ah yes, the merits of wood chips!
