Maybe something drought tolerant like sedums or the thyme would work better with the peat? Oh, well.

I used marine finish on a wooden sign I made years ago for the pavilion my dad built and that sign was still okay years later. Gosh, that pavilion was so Daddy. Mom just wanted a simple shade structure to put the picnic table under. He built a fancy screen house with two ceiling fans, a full sized refrigerator, a bathroom with toilet and sink, a larger picnic table he built and finished with a better finish than you find on most fine furniture, cabinets, a kitchen sink and a stove, although the stove was an antique wood cookstove they bought at an antique shop years before. He never did anything by halves.

We still use that pavilion every summer for family get togethers and reunions and Mom's birthday party. Sorry for the digression. I guess it is a garden object of the largest kind. LOL Here's a photo that shows the side of it several years ago. That's my daughter, her husband and my oldest granddaughter when she was about 2.
