Angelina Stonecrop

After the pond was finished I had tons of time so I decided to start adding a garden around the edges. We live in a clearing in the woods. The soil is acid and very poor. I am a new gardener and an old lady and I knew right off I could not handle a compost pile...I had neither the strength nor the patience to treat it properly.

I add JoGro, a locally made compost, and potting soil and fertilizer and figure by the time I'm a hundred and ten the ground will be great.

I want easy care plants.

One of the first plants I added was for the rocks in front of the pond. There were several tiers of rocks and I wanted a teeny rock garden.
