Planting is substantially done. Poppy and scarlet flax, cosmos and sunflowers. Marigolds near the tomatoes in back, the geranium will go out soon. I need to harden it a bit first. Which I have not done. Jalepeño* plant, rhubarb, strawberries, hen&chickens. And returning from last year, chard, parsley, mint, thyme, Turkish veronica(?) with purple flowers, native veronica with bluish flowers, spiky weeds and dandelions. And another local weed I know not the name of. Also, there seem to be other plants from last year, but they have not declared themselves yet, only hinted from behind the curtain.
The green is clover. As I clear more of the plastic-net-infested sod, there will be more. There will still be some leftover grass, and always weeds. But mostly, clover, which needs less water, and is greener. I can mow it or not. The sacrificial tomato plant in in the upper right.
The rocks are fine, though. I stack them by whim. Cairns to forgotten gods.
*Which G from work refers to as djəll LAH pən ose. He knows better. Now he's got me doing it.

I love your little cairns! :)
I rebuild them as needed. Balancing the rocks.
I am rather fond of rocks :)
I like your transitory nature of them. Once upon a time, in my house dwelling days, I amassed a rather large cairn from tending the garden. I told Rob my intention of one day using some of the rocks to make a rock garden and came home from work one evening to discover my cairn buried under 2ft of soil. "Tada, rock garden!".
We are both in the waiting game now, then, for the seeds to sprout.
