Stage 2 of my little rock garden is complete. We had enough of the right sized aggregate and some pea gravel on hand to mulch the slope and most of the scree.
Micro weeding before spreading the aggregate was the hardest part. I left some local volunteers, including the ridiculously tall fleabane, just because I like them. They'll eventually be replaced by chosen imports. -

The first rock garden plantings are starting to show. I've left some of the "local volunteers" to help hold the soil until I find just the right crushed stone mulch, and more plants of course.
Gritty rock garden with large and small boulders forming a slope and scree, backed by a grey parged wall. Purple Siberian irises, yellowish lewisia, and fuschia-pink dianthus are blooming. You can just make out small sedums between some of the rocks.#gardening #gardens #rockgardens #alpinegarden #flowers #xeriscaping

CW: neat tiny red velvet mites
Here's one for @nev
I've been seeing these funky little (*tiny*) critters for a few weeks in the #RockGardens - on the soil/ plant debris. Here some of them were #RockClimbing making it a bit easier to get shots (still tricky as they don't stand still and my camera is having focussing issues...lol) Velvet Mites /Eutrombidium genus- I think!
