Gardening dilettante, that's me!

why do mosquitoes and ticks exist, other than to annoy us and spread diseases? What is their actual purpose in the ecosystem?

I don't know why I was thinking plants.

I would like to put back the Creeping Charlie (lesser of three evils) and add SLUGS.

SMH, I can't believe I did not think of that one, those nasty discussing, mosquitoes.

I want to put back dandelions and I'll take mosquitoes. Dandelions are looking better and better.

My back yard was green all winter (like I had a winter, right?) It was all creeping charlie. It has actually choked out the Bermuda grass. That is how tuff it is and I don't mind it in the yard, just hate it in the flower bed, lot of work keeping these weeds under control, I heard that if you spray them with vinegar that will kill them, I'll let you know.

Yes, vinegar will kill weeds, grasses, and anything green that it touches. I use it. Be careful!
