@chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.caMore pics of the thickening verge! Most of the greenery is actualy the california poppy that havent bloomed. The rest is clover and the white flowers (alyssum?)
This is as tall as it should get (about six inches) with the exception of when the poppies bloom they send up slightly taller stalks.

@chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.caThe white flowers in the new “alt-grass” have started to pop up in the front of the driveway (bottom right) and middle. Still patchy bits but nbd. And the taller stuff is now shading/protecting/cooling the smaller.
The front (bottom) that we seeded a few weeks after the initial planting is growing in nicely.
In a few weeks maybe we will get some poppies in the oldest areas.
Love this stuff!
We can start to walk on the older now, gently. Feels nice barefoot. Down to watering once a day, morning, unless it is over 30°C.
Intending to get more slate slabs next week, so I’ll put in a fourth step stone and probably move the one on the left back a few inches. I’ll try to be careful so I can transplant the grass to some of the patchy areas.
That will also be a first try at backing the trailer over the hump onto the new paths with a lot of weight.
