Westfork said: Lynn, I am just in the material accumulation stage now. It will be a bit longer before the frost is out of the ground, still a below zero night or two coming up in a week.
Here I am sorting the retaining wall block. The mostly dark gray ones will be below grade, the heavily tiger stripe ones in this planter, and the mostly tan striped ones for another project. Collecting some tough semps for the project (Heufs, rollers, calcariums, tectorums and some neat newer introductions from Kevin). They go outside on warm days and in this south facing window the rest of the time. I figure putting them in freezing weather at this stage in the spring when they came from a greenhouse somewhere and not hardened off, wouldn't be the best for them.

So many happy semps! You should also start collecting some companions … a few hardy sedum perhaps? I think candytuft and some carnations or creeping phlox would go well (to provide more pops of interest I guess)… or some Dutch iris or small daffodils too…
And more fuzzy semps Blinking
