==Sedum==
=Thu April 24, 2025=
My favorite variety: [http://www.greenroofplants.com/catalog/plant-catalog/viewplant/?plantid=736 Sedum Spurium John Creech: "A very low mat-forming selection, this Stonecrop has rounded deep green leaves and small clusters of pink star-shaped flowers in the summer. Tolerates light foot traffic. Full sun / partial shade. Mauve / pink flower. 2-4 in. (5-10 cm). Zone 2-9."

Sedum has shallow roots and easily propagates from cuttings - they'll take root within 7 to 10 days.<br>
<br>
We could purchase a handful a few specimens and use those to propagate a sedum horizontal garden - which we'd then use to get cuttings for the vertical gardens.<br>

'''Challenges'''
=Wed April 9, 2025=
*Size: We may need to make several of these and tile them as in this [http://www.houzz.com/photos/2932811/Green-Street-contemporary-patio-philadelphia example] (plywood and mahogany frame, root barrier behind soil behind landscape fabric held in with wire). We can also make our own large tray (a wood grid) rather than individual boxes - but individual boxes may be more manageable (can be removed more easily). [http://theshopatvictoriagardens.blogspot.com/2010/08/green-wall-sounds-good.html Victoria Gardens] built wall-sized panels which appear to use burlap in between the wire mesh and the soil ([http://theshopatvictoriagardens.blogspot.com/2010/08/growing-up-vertical-planting.html more Victoria Gardens photos]) - they probably have wood shelves behind the burlap.
Driving practice, groceries, house cleaning
*Water flow/drainage: make holes at the bottom of each tray?
*Weight: will the wall withstand the weight? Perhaps use bookshelf approach where most weight rests on the ground and picture hanging hooks keep flush to the wall (may require a row of bricks below the bottom tray).


===Pallet===

==House Painting==
I think the best contrast colors for dark brown walls are white, yellow and apple green. See for example:
 
http://blog.styleestate.com/storage/thumbnails/2908662-2950705-thumbnail.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1243374071765
 
http://www.colourlovers.com/palette/844425/Da_Lime_inda_Coconut
 
Menards doesn't have any bright greens (only boring ones), but Home Depot does have one that looks pretty nice (bamboo leaf). So here's the palette I suggest:

Links for the paints at Home Depot:
 
Bamboo Leaf (green):

Lemon Lime (yellow):
http://www.homedepot.com/s/lemon%2520lime%2520paint?NCNI-5
 
Chalkboard Paint:
http://www.homedepot.com/s/chalkboard%2520paint?NCNI-5
 
For the MH I think we should go with white for the walls as that will make the space appear bigger.
