ParticipantI had a very large,steep, granite hard slope in Valencia. We planted sprigs of Rosemary. It took forever to grow in, we used very little water, but I liked it. It does attract bees. My neighbor planted Ice Plant, grew faster, took more water, and half the time it had a disease and looked terrible. I trimmed the Rosemary every few years with a hedge trimmer to keep it low. It is great to use with the BBQ. I would use that netting and then plant whatever you do.

ParticipantI agree Desmond, Rosemary is a great herb to have around and it has so many functions. The best though is being able to walk outside, clip a few branches and use it with the grill.
Way OT! My fave thing is to cut up potatoes, throw in some onion, salt, pepper,and heavy rosemary- put it in separate small foil packets with a dash of butter and throw it on the grill for about 20 minutes. I get to repeat my fifteen minutes of fame at every BBQ;)
Ok I feel really cheesy for writing that!

I like the rosea iceplant, but I like the kind that does the purple carpet thing. I looked at the pics that sdgrl posted and while the flower is the same, the plant is different from what I was thinking of. Here are some pics I found of the one I like, the green part isn’t smooth, they have this lining redhawk parway in my hood, it looks like carpet or purple snow at times, not a speck of green is visible and it doesn’t have the thick, smooth plant leaves.
notice the green part resembles a worm as opposed to a sword, it should be obvious that i don’t know jack about plants, I just know that the purple carpet stuff is neato![/quote]
Wow – very cool stuff. I wonder if its easy to find at nurseries.
