Agreed, Stilldew. *Gasp* That's a gorgeous bed. I'm trying to restrain myself in what I buy, but my mentality is similar to yours in that I get what I like and then I figure out where to put it
I'm with Jewell: flowers over lawn any day!
Jewell, I enjoyed the photos of your developing garden. What an undertaking. It's looking great.
roseblush, I wish I could help you. Your question regarding the ground cover is specific. Is there a gardener/nursery close to you who can answer that for you? What are you aiming to do in your garden? Make it more lush? Want more variety? Add natives? Are there master gardeners around here on allthingsplants?
David, you make me like Florida plants with your pictures. Wonderful garden.
My mother is the one who tells her guy which plant she wants bought, where to put it, how much to prune it, if she wants it fertilized, etc. She is aware of the health of all her plants. Her patio garden was erected by her for the most part as it consists of many little plants that she can easily lift and plant. She is almost 80 years old! I consider her a gardener.
