Succulent And Cactus In Ground Rock Garden / Succulent Garden / Succulent Tapestry

Welcome to the succulent home guys with me Melissa Okay, so you see this section right here That's the second section that I am going to attempt doing an in-ground tapestry in the front of my house If you haven't seen it already, I've posted a video in my first phase of the front yard succulent cactus tapestry in ground a while ago you can go ahead and check out that video here on my channel like and subscribe if you like this video and Share it if this gives you some tips then do it because I'm here Wanting to inspire you to do all that you can do in developing your green thumb with succulents And say hello to my cat midnight. Hi midnight midnight Okay, so what I'm gonna be doing here is Taking out these I Don't know what you would call them They're shrubs plants, whatever But I'm gonna pull them out and I'm gonna take them to the backyard to use so they will be recycled and replanted in the backyard so those over there these These right here this palm right here. My husband planted. So we're gonna keep this here and Use it in the tapestry design We're gonna see how far I can get today It is a big section and I don't know if I have everything but we're gonna do the best we can So first we're gonna start with taking these out. Well, keep watching In a world so full of pain, can you make it go away? We can't Sorry for the burn Yes And it's all because of you you made the flower Maybe now I dug all of these out. Now I just have to finish with those and then I'm going to get really close into here because as you can see, there's some weeds. I'm not going to put a weed cloth down or a weed barrier before I pour the rocks and new soil. As you can see, this isn't anything that gets a lot of weeds in. You can see it's very manageable. So I feel like it's nothing I can't handle. And as you guys know, I like pulling weeds, it's very therapeutic. Try it if you're stressed out. Yeah, so see, it's just little here and there. Look at how easy when you just pull it. So I'm going to pour the more soil and rock and it will be fine. Okay, I just finished turning over all the soil that was right here, which makes it more fluffier. So when I add the soil, the soil I got from Lowe's, which is the Kellogg's, palm, cactus and citrus in certain sections to add mounds, it'll be a lot easier when I pot everything I need to pot in here. So that's going to be a good thing. And I'm excited. Look at Midnight, she thinks this is her place. So I'm going to now think about what I'm going to do here, but just wanted you to see this real quick. Just added, this is the back view, but this is the soil that I just added that I told you I was going to add from Lowe's that I picked up. This is two bags. I don't want to use any more. This is a simple arrangement. I don't even know if I'm going to have enough rocks, but at least I have enough to get started and then we'll continue. But those are the mounds. That's where I'm going to probably put some agave, which are these ones right here. They're slow growers, but they'll grow fast enough to where they can be here for a while and I won't have to uproot them for a while. Periodically, when you are doing an in-ground tapestry, you're going to want to take a step back, start looking at where you did some placements on your mounds. Look to see while your succulents are still in the container, so that way you don't have to like pick up, pick out, pick up, pick out. You know what I mean? And you're able to visually see how you want your tapestry. So what I'm thinking is because Aeoniums grow fast and big, but although they go dormant in summer, I'm thinking right here will be a good place for them. Right here. I did pot or planted this, I think it's some kind of agave or aloe, not quite sure. It could be in the Yucca family, but I'm not, I don't know the name of that right there. I did three of those agaves. Like I said, they're small, they're slow growers, but they'll grow fast enough to where they'll make a statement. And then I might have to transplant or remove one of the ones on the side. Not quite sure. But I got that Firestorm and I'm thinking of putting it right there. And I got these cacti right here that I might put just in the front right here. Okay, so now what I'm doing is laying the rock. This is the top dressing that I chose, mountain rock, the mountain pebble river rock. And this is the same as the middle tapestry that I did in the front yard. So I'm just kind of mimicking it over here. I still got black lava, so I'll do a ribbon. This definitely isn't enough rock for right here, but it's enough to get started. And then I'll just continue to add rock as I go. It really is such a big section that there really isn't enough rock. But I'm going to get it started and we'll continue. Before you lay the rock too, you're going to want to sweep the sidewalk or wherever you're at. You want to sweep, get all the dirt out. So that way you don't do it after, because if you do it after, then the dirt's just going to get on the rocks. I love you, you, you. I feel the way I do, do, do. You make my dreams come true, true, true. It's all because of you, because of you, because of you. And I don't fall in love so easily Cause I don't wear my heart upon my sleeve I don't know if you feel the same But every time I hear your name My worries disappear It's all because of you, you, you, yeah I feel the way I do, do, do You make my dreams come true, true, yes you do It's all because of you, because of you, because of you It's all because of you This is what I call progress You guys, it's already getting late into the day But as you can see, I added the rock And I'm trying to form this ribbon I need some more of the mountain river rock So I can connect it somewhere in here So it doesn't seem like there's a disconnect right here in the middle I'm gonna try to find another pot To put right here, on top of there But in order to balance over here I put a pot right there And put the same exact kind of aeoniums Right there And it also gives some contrast I'm gonna also go ahead and start putting the black lava This is where I have to stop today This is where the rocks have ended And I don't have anymore Two rocks of black lava Two big bags Well, same size Two bags of mountain river pebble Pebble stone, mountain pebble stone Rocks are from Home Depot And, yeah I still need to connect this rock The mountain rock over here Because do you see how there's a disconnect? So I'm gonna add some of that pebble rock right here And then the rest I'm gonna fill with black lava Yeah And then I still need to find a figurine And I have more succulents And euphorbia And maybe cactus Some more But for right now, this is where I'm stopping Hey guys, it's day two To me doing this in-ground tapestry I've taken you through the first day Now I'm gonna finish up And do the black lava right here But I'm gonna extend a little bit more of this pebble rock It's called mountain granite rock Not pebble rock, but granite So I'm going to do all that Get my cat out of the way Because she just loves being wherever I'm at And she'd be making a hot mess of my little project So I'm gonna finish up that And then I will go over in detail All the little things Look at the rock So it's the company Vigoro I got decorative black lava These are all basically This covers three square feet To two inches depth And I got Here we go, this is what it's called Decorative stone mountain granite Yeah, so that's what we're working with Okay you guys, I did it There's a couple of things that I do want to get I think it would be cute to put a figurine right there In the middle, behind this pot right here I think it would just be cute Like I have that coyote in the front part of the house And I think another figurine would be really cute And add some dimension The rock is laid As you can see I put the black lava And the mountain granite And I ribboned it through Connecting the back Connecting right here So that the flow can continue Throughout the whole thing I put the pot right here Which is an arrangement that I did earlier On my channel that you guys seen me put together I added some baby black pebble rock On top for the top dressing On both of the pots As you can see And I sprinkled on top of the black pebble Some clear sea glass and white pebble rock Both on top of the pots Just adding some eye-catching interest Again, as I go I'm going to continue to add Some more edge of areas Filling in more gaps But right now This seems like a really good place to start In my tapestry I added the agave The firestorm Different kinds of little baby cactuses That I got from Long Beach As you can see right in the back Agaves Different types And that one right there I don't know the name of that And some aeoniums in the front Aeoniums pooling right here And aeoniums in the back Just to kind of balance out The front And cactus and succulents Do go with palm trees Any kind of palms So as that begins to grow taller This is a beautiful tapestry That anchors the bottom Of that palm tree So Again, I picked slow growers As well as The color between The blue green and lime greens And the dark purple Wine color In the aeoniums I hope you guys loved this tapestry And stay tuned for next Videos to come Until the next God bless guys Bye Every day Look away Every day Look away We could be good friends Each time you leave me It's harder.
