Work : Sea pond in the forest

Work : Sea pond in the forest That is, it is the source from the soil steps, similar to sea springs. Sketch the steps, the soil, the sea, the atmosphere on the planet. Therefore, even though drawing stairs may be difficult, ordinary watercolors are not dark and not sticky at all. It’s too wet on the background paper. It doesn’t look very beautiful. I think that’s okay. hope you all like it…

The statue has been on the ground for weeks. When everyone told us it couldn’t be done, we took matters into our own hands. We finally resorted to buying our own crane to get this bad boy up! What an ordeal! The combination of weight, height, and rough terrain made this a particularly tough puzzle to solve. But finally, finally, it’s erect! Much alcohol was drank to celebrate our victory!🍷

The rockery will be known as the rookery. The pseudodragon will guard the place and make sure everything grows.

It’s one hell of a gorgeous day for an erection, but when five guys can’t get it up, you know you’ve got a problem! 😜

Today we began planting the steps. We chose mostly drought tolerant hardy plants that were also deer resistant. (Lavender, nepeta, perennial geranium, sedum, creeping thyme, royal candles) Almost immediately we had bees buzzing on the flowers!

[nncastle]

Most of the topsoil is in. Almost ready for seeding. Wow.

Slow motion droplets.

Yes, I’m probably going to bore you with my photos of my woodland god. I’m in love!

The grass is growing in nicely and the electrical has been run. We’re still waiting for the basin stones and the statue to go up. The seeds are filling in quite nicely.

Took out the Asian bittersweet vine and the barberry brambles to make room for climbing roses and some ferns. Planted William Baffin and American Beauty.

Let there be light!

Stone slabs around fountain are in place! Looks awesome!

Path lines marked and steps finished! My wildflowers have already begun to grow.

[nncastle]

The grass seed is down. Now it’s all about diligent watering.

[nncastle]

I planted a variety of hens and chicks, stonecrop, creeping thyme, and sedum between the rocks.

Wow! We made mega progress today! It’s looking epic! I think the back wall is getting an edit and going higher than 18”.
