| how far did you go down to ammend the soil in that bed? just wondering how much sand I'm going to have to truck in. |

| Mike, don't use play sand. Sand will actually retain water. You will want to use a course builders sand with small gravel mixed in. Or truck in a lot DG. Jim, great looking garden as always. I don't see any parryi in what you have labeled blue form. I would post that on xeric world for a ID. You protoamericana has a lot of salmiana in it. Can't wait to see if retains its blue from americana. It may end up looking like my pokey ghost. This is my first year with ghost plants, so I would love to know what temps finish yours off. |
