can a stubborn english red bean sequoia actually win a battle with rocks?

I never thought a plant could outsmart a pile of rocks, but my English yew had other plans. When I first planted it, I figured the rocky soil would be a dealbreaker. But this little shrub just kept pushing roots through every crack it could find. I started adding mulch and watering a bit more, hoping to give it a fighting chance. Turns out, the yew didn’t just survive—it thrived. Its roots worked around the stones, and now it’s the greenest thing in my yard. I learned that sometimes, you don’t need perfect soil. Just a little patience, some extra water, and a plant that refuses to quit. Watching it grow made my whole garden feel more alive. gardening #plantstories #englishyew #greenthumb #gardenjoy #gardening #plantstories #englishyew #greenthumb #gardenjoy
