Many positive things can be said for planting a meadow garden. These naturalistic designs tend to be a bit wilder thanks to the use of native wildflowers and ornamental grasses, so they require less primping and preening throughout the year. And these designs tend to fill in quickly because of the plants used in them (i.e., perennials that are quick to multiply and bulk up).

Sedums are easy to care for. They tend to grow naturally in cool, rocky areas, so well-drained soil is ideal. They also grow in open and exposed situations, which means full sun in the garden. In fact, many sedums have become the plants of choice for green roofs. I rarely recommend irrigating or fertilizing sedums unless you are growing them in containers, but here are some tips I do recommend for keeping sedums happy.

What is the point of gardening? Why do so many people spend so much time and effort digging, snipping, mowing, pruning, sowing and reaping? What is the attraction of fossicking about in the cold and muddy outdoors? Surely it would be easier to just go to the supermarket rather than struggle through briars and bindweed? Some people (and almost all teenagers) really do not get the point of all this taming of nature. Old Stone Houses, Growing Pumpkins, Aeroponics, What's The Point
