Works pretty well and makes a nice contrast with the plants. I suspect there is very little soil in the spot where the rock is placed and that is why they put it there -- only a rock could grow there. Here is a picture. The rock is actually quite large sticking out on either side of the juniper branch but doesn't seem that large because of the creeping plants. It actually wobbles a little if you walk on it, but nobody does probably because or the juniper -- also because it is on a hillside where nobody walks anyhow. Someday, I may replace the juniper with a nicer plant, but for now, I have some more serious gardening challenges. P.S. Don't you like the cleverly place tree stump behind the rock? LOL. I have never been able to figure out how to get it out without major exertion. I have decided to let it rot. This message was edited Aug 21, 2008 8:41 AM |
