Green Roof planted!

Since last time, we’ve planted the sedum on the roof! Yesterday was had a good crew up on the roof, cutting 6 spots in each bag of rocks (that’s 215 bags of very small rocks, for those counting at home), then planting one cute little sedum seedling in each cut spot. I think there were five kinds of sedum. In any event, the roof is now fully planted, and we had a flat or two left over. Hopefully we can find a spot for them for the winter so we can fill in any spots on the roof that don’t make it until spring. And now for some photos:
Early in the cutting process
More cutting (watch out for the edge!)
Seriously, no falling!
More photos.

Beautiful pictures – I hope the sight of roof encourages your neighbors to follow suit.
I myself am looking to undertake a similar project when I purchase a home.

Very cool, you guys. Congrats!
Hope to see you when Violet and I ride down on Sun. Parkways this weekend!
