5 weeks later

Almost all the plants are doing well. Especially the creeping yellow sedum which is pictured here. It has pretty much doubled or tripled in size and has grown lots of little roots. The only plants that have had trouble are the "chicks and hens" about 6 of them shriveled up and died. Researching these plants has told me this usually happens from rot or over watering. But over half of them are fine so..... I feel like the initial installation is a success. Now I'm most curious about how they do this winter. And then most exciting how much they grow in the spring. I just watered them for the first time in two weeks. They seemed to suck up all the water almost immediately.If all goes well I hope to plant another 200sq. ft next spring. Hopefully I'll post some more pictures every month.
