I also had a bag of potting soil, so I filled up the next couple inches with some cold, wet potting soil.

I love the greenness of my world. Seattle is very, very green. This is the top of the wall along my driveway. Look at all the different textures of moss growing here. I imagined a carpet of moss across the surface of my terrarium. I harvested some of this beautiful, variable moss from the sidewalk right next to the wall.

This is more moss but on the driveway surface at the back of my driveway. As you can see, there are no tire tracks across it; there's no way I can get a car in my garage. Too much stuff, and besides, my garage is very tiny. Even my little VW Golf would fill it completely. Back on topic, this is where I would harvest some moss with a spatula.

The brick had a nice carpet of another shaggy textured moss, and on the paper plate is what I collected from the driveway and the sidewalk.
