Your succulent collection is insane. I love planting frivolous amounts of exotics. Pushing the northern gardens boundaries and generally making people cock their heads and think. Does this stuff really grow here? Nice work. Very nice!

I wish I could claim to have done something to the soil but no, just mulch on the top. That's all I ever do except when I'm planting agaves and building up the soil (the agaves here will be pulled before winter). I do take the pitch fork and loosen up the soil a bit.danger gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227500551609537140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-14850532124049955262015-06-03T09:01:28.923-07:002015-06-03T09:01:28.923-07:00The Sophora is supposed to be drought tolerant, bu...The Sophora is supposed to be drought tolerant, but so far it's the thirstiest of the lot.

I...I completely forgot that you expanded that area! I could see that the plants were new, but it just didn't connect. The bed really does feel more the right size now, and the planting is so well done, as usual. Yes, those plants do seem so very close to me, since I tend to place my plants so far apart in an attempt to fill all my space in the cheapest way possible. Things fill in eventually, but it's nice to get that instant impact.
