Pretty flower picture of the day
When I started breaking up our driveway and “planting” grass to replace the concrete, I scavenged clumps of grass from every source I could find, up to and including digging them out from between cracks between not-yet-removed concrete slabs. Some (and by “some” I mean “many”) of these clumps of grass included other plants. Mainly broadleaf weeds, of course, but this spring saw this tiny violet growing up alongside the mongrel horde of grasses that I’m colonising our ex-driveway with.
(The biggest problem of breaking up the driveway is what the devil to do with the broken up concrete. I’ve had people come by asking if they can take it for fill, and I’ve gotten rid of 3 tons of it that way, and I put a couple more tons to use as a wall at the front of the property, but I’ve still got half a ton sitting in a pile which I have to get rid out before I can break up a couple more 4' squares. I was thinking of building a rubble foundation wall along the front of the ex-garage, but that would require quite a lot of gravel to bed the rubble wall on, and a fairly substantial amount of concrete to make a level stem-wall to build the frame for the front of the building up from.)
