 o
crazy idea?

after living here for almost a full year, and living with
the land and learning what the land is like, i have noticed
a low area next to where i plan to lay a garden path of crushed granite

could i plant next to the pathway, in the moist areas
i'm seeing with dietes underplanted with creeping jenny?

the spot gets fair sun, but stays moist after rains

we've spent quite a bit already on the pathways, and don't
think i can spend too much on plants

i read that the dietes can take the wet feet, and will bloom, and a local master gardener said creeping jenny
can take the wet too

thoughts?
