Gardens, nuns and termites.

I went to hospital as usual today and came home hoping that I would have lots of energy. I did but it only got me through planting some seeds. I then had to pass out for 3 hours. Not fair! I did rally in the afternoon and managed to return to my back garden. I used to have a rock garden but since I've been unable to keep up with the weeding it has been overtaken by weeds. This afternoon, I tore them out and now need to replant. Any ideas on rock garden plants? Any suggestions would be appreciated. I'm going to have a look on the BBC gardening website and see what they suggest but it's nice to have recommendations from friends.

I don't imagine that the Guardian will bother to do a follow up story about the nuns and the statues. You can't help but wonder what the judge will decide. Will he order them back to the monks? Will the nuns refuse? Will the police invade the carmelite convent and take them by force? And what of their justification that because they dusted the statues, they belonged to them. I would imagine that a number of Spanish museums and art galleries will be a little nervous about that. He (or she in this case) who dusts, owns. The final question is this: just how trustworthy is a termite?

No ideas about rock garden plants but will look around here. What kinds of seeds did you plant?
