This is the beginning of the pretty planting in our garden. We've been making a lot of structural changes - putting up walls and the like - but now we've started actually planting stuff. We're going to run this rock garden the length of the right side of the back garden. We have hundreds of these big red rocks in the garden, and all the plants are in pots from the previous owners, so all we have to do is drag them in place and cover them in pebbles. The pebbles act as a mulch and also keep weeds down, I hope. The weeds here are pretty grizzly though and grow easily through concrete so we'll see how effective it is!
The mini trees are called money trees and are a bit like bonsais. They will probably not get much bigger than they are now. They must be very old as they take years and years to grow. We have around 10 good sized ones in pots and hope to use them all. The other plants are various cacti and we have put flower bulbs under the pebbles for the spring. It should all be in full flower for our guests in September and October!
