Yard
Hopalong:
OOOOH I bet the moss is stunning.
So exciting to think of that fruition!
Yay.
Beauty everywhere.

Yesterday I went into the yard, barefoot, looking for weeds, Hops. I think I found 3 very tiny clover. The moss is at the point where it's crowding out weeds! So thick, like a happy carpet!

The moss sounds amazing, Lighter, it's great that this is all coming together so well and giving you such a good space to be outside in. Your neighbours sound nice as well :) I've a teeny bit of moss growing on our wall - small amount just now but I'm going to leave it be and see if it spreads :) Would be nice to have moss walls to look out on instead of the horrible breeze block type stuff we've got now xx

You might try scraping some of the moss, and mushing it up with a bit of mud, Tupp. Spread it on the parts of wall you want it to grow, then spritz a couple times daily till you see a green film.
Moss covered knee walls grow very well in my neighbor's drive. They have a spring that constantly keeps that area wet. They don't have to do anything, and it's thick and lovely.
They also have a lovely mossy grotto, they never have to weed, or water. It's consistently wet, and shady... ideal for moss, and I'm a tad jealous.
Do consider expanding your moss wall, if conditions seem good. That bit of moss might be easy to cultivate if the wall stays pretty moist. I wonder if you could grow ivy on that wall, if not moss?
Some vine that covers?

I cut all the beautiful flowers from the Hosta this morning. Barefoot. In the early morning hours between 7:30 and 10am. I also pulled up lots of Hosta for a neighbor.... there's plants popping up in the middle of the moss yard, and have to go anyway. With all the rain, many pulled out easily. Nice.
I cleaned up ornamental grasses around drains at yard's edge, then went ahead and cut back all Hosta there too. It's neat, and there won't be any dead and dying plants to clean up from moss later.
I still have planting to do, but that's OK.
When I went into the shed I really saw it, maybe for the first time. At some point I'll turn it into a SHE SHED, and maybe put oldest dd out there with her Pug. It's exciting for both of us, and youngest DD17 wants to wield power tools. Woo hoo!
