Well rocks are pretty solid relatively speaking. These rocks in our garden are 3,5 billion years, some of the oldest rocks in the world. You will find some in Russia too, the old continents. I used to plant flowers round them but my husband being a geologist thinks I should plant flowers somewhere else and show mor e respect for these ancients. I draw the line at chopping down the tree that gives such wonderful shade during summer.

The wonderful thing about the garden is – it springs back to life so well..! š

Yes provided I do not put in tender plants. But I have learnt my lesson. We don’t have long winters but sometimes we get heavy frost and one dose is enough

I do agree that rocks can be a most pleasing and important part of a garden. The mistake most people make when ‘importing’ them for effect is to place them in a way nature never would have done, so they simply look out of place. Ideal if they were there in the first place!

They have been there for the last few billion years

I think it can safely be taken that they have squatters’ rights!

We don’t get rain in winter but I hear an El Nino is on its way – bad news?
But thank you

‘n Mens koop nie sulke klippe nie, en as jy dit kan doen, dan lyk hulle altyd soos gekoopte klippe
