A PROJECT COMPLETED - A DREAM COME TRUE.
Yes, the new dooryard is finished, the clover is planted between the times and the tiles are stable enough to park the cars on.
Clover was chosen initially because it comes up fast (in 48 hours actually) and the root system is tight and deep and provides almost instant stability to the tiles. In the Spring the clover will be replaced with creeping thyme which we discovered at kingsbrea Gardens in Canada. The creeping thyme is an excellent choice for spaces between pavers because it also has a tight root system and when crushed by walking or driving on it, it gives off a lovely scent. They crushing does not kill or harm the plant - in fact, it stimulates more growth. The bonus is the tiny, delicate pale purple blooms and the foliage is so dense it feels springy and soft like moss.
Another project completed and only 999 left to go. Slowly but surely - one day and one project at a time.
