PlantTastic Cooking & Gardening

Hello! This is our home, cooking, and garden vlog channel where we'll be sharing all things home, plant-based cooking, and garden in our everyday lives. We bought this house almost 21 years ago and have been building our garden ever since. Both Amber and I are suburban gardeners and plant-based cooks. Amber gardens in the City of Philadelphia growing flowers, veggies and herbs. Thanks for joining us on our journey!

    I have to point out that most of the stones you are laying seems to be rocking, and no, they will not fix themselves. Merely dragging a straight edge of lumber around on the ground prior to lay the stone back would single-handedly eliminate most rocking.

    Although you are very sure of yourself, you couldn’t be more wrong. They did settle in, none of them rock and the project has been finished for years with not one hiccup. Have a great day.

    Great video! I've noticed the same thing with Sedum and water - if you have good drainage it will use water and grow lushly. Soggy soil in winter can be harmful but honestly, some of the varieties like 'Angelina' seem to handle that also.
