looking down at the thick clover around a steppingstone and it's a straight line of rocks where the cars parked. In the background is a small trailer with a white cover tripped over top. There are taller, poppy plants growing in in the clover to the left
the driveway is really growing!
driveways that grow are definitely the best!

Bees are seen flying in and around small orange poppies and little white flowers in thick grassy clover
between the hydrangeas and the alt-grass, the number and variety of pollinators in our driveway right now is a little crazy! Bees, wasps, butterfly, other flying things! It's amazing!!! 🐝 🐝 🌼 🐝 🐝

Tight and rounded blue hydrangea blossoms
Tiny clumps of pink blossoms.
A big happy orange day lilly.
A drooping hosta stalk with a dozen blooms, mostly closed, except one.
Some blooming closeups. #bloomscrolling #altgrass #portalberni #yard #diy
A small pond is surrounded by plants. A large blue hydrangea is on the right, A low bush with yellow flowers in front across the pond... some of its branches spilling over the flat stones. A leafy willow bends in from the left. A purple flowering bush is also on the left. There are lillies on the water in the pond. There is also a large day lilly plant in the background and a flowering hasta near the house.
An even large hydrangea with whitish pink and purple tightly packed blossoms looms over a cement path. The bush with pink flowers is on the right. A large rhododendron stands in the corner beside the house.
Looking up the pond toward the waterfall, stream and upper pond between a leafy willow on the right and bush with pink flowers on the left
Time for a walk around the yard as I was watering this morning. It's going to be hot today (30°C)

A small white blossom with purple on the edges stands slightly bent amongst thick clover and other greenery. The bloom is closed as it is still early morning .
An orange poppy stands taller than the rest of the green including some small white flowers. You can see the long straight path of green on one side of the driveway toward a small trailer and blue house
Three very red strawberries sit underneath a small strawberry plant beside a yellow truck.
Looking down on the driveway, to see the three strips of bushy green grass bordering the rocky tire parhs. There are purple hydrangeas on the right with a tall apple tree and blue hydrangeas on the left with an apple tree next to the window.
lots of flowers now in the alt-grass including a new white and purple one! And the strawberries are ripe under the growing 🍎 tree!
It's weird when the driveway is the most productive part of the yard!
The hope though is that this is a preview of what […]

Butt end of a 5 ton dump truck filled with 10 cubic yards of premium, luxury top soil. Smells a little like manure but in that "I love the countryside" kind of way, not the "holy shit will you look at the size of the dairy farm?!!!?" kind of way.
About to get dirty in the #GorillaGardens.
Are any gardeners out there using #AltGrass? We're going for a no-mow native CA blend of fescues mixed with some wild flower seed. No idea if it'll work, but 🤷♂️
