Thank you for the compliment. It is beautiful here next to the Rockies. I garden while I look at Glacier Park mountains. The weather is moist and pleasant most of the year except for a month of really cold in January. Lots of hardscape available here for making the garden beautiful year round. Here is an envy picture. It is only 20 minutes from our house.
Check the PH and see what you are in the amended soil. Calcium salts will leak off the patio for years after mortar. You already are alkaline in CO and I am also. My colombines thrive here in PH of 6.8 to 7. I had to make all of my soils and am still doing it so that is why I asked about soils. My areas that I haven't ammended at least 3' have been difficult to grow the acid loving plants. Grass likes PH over 7 so maybe that is why it is doing well.
