Default While digging up the front garden bed... 2 of 2 - 2GeckoStump2007.jpg (1/1)

Omelet expounded:

I'll be re-doing all the rock work and building a low raised bed with
them, and will bring in a bunch of fresh soil. Not sure yet what I will
plant but I'm going to put down a weed barrier cloth and top it with
pine mulch then cut an X in it to plant whatever I decide. I'm thinking
about rock roses as they were recommended to me as a good
xeriscaping/low water usage plant.

The climbing blaze will stay, but is going to be managed with a
decorative trellis.

Pics of that to follow later when it's done. ;-)

Meanwhile, here is another gecko eggshell. The eggs are at least as
large as the lizards heads. It always amazes me how large of an egg
those little guys lay.


Neat find, Om! We don't have any native lizards around here, just
salamanders and the like. I find them under logs in the damp duff
beneath. I'll have to take a picture next time I find one.
