I can see where ground cover plants have their purpose. They are a little like mulch in that you can use them to fill in the empty spots in your flower beds with interesting colors, textures, and even flowers. My personal experience with ground cover plants has been one of self-discovery, because I’ve learned that I don’t like any plants growing out of control in my beds. I’ve also learned that I want my ground cover plants to grow quickly because I don’t have the patience to wait season after season for them to fill in whatever space I have for them. You may have noted the conundrum here: I want the plants to grow fast, but not too fast. Get it? I am a Type A control freak and the notion of plants “taking over my beds” is simply unacceptable, but waiting season after season for them to fill in my beds is nearly as bad.
Well then, I can thoroughly recommend Dr. Earth”s organic fertilizer. The Pure Gold is exactly that. Nothing complicated just spread it around the plants and water. Or to make it simpler, get a Miracle Gro dispenser that you hook to your hose. Fill the feeder and water just like that. HUGE difference in your plant growth will you see. Not to mention colorations and flowers. Since it’s not a veggie garden there’s no real reason to go organic. Just fertilize those babies. Every couple of weeks to start. You’ll be amazed. Good luck Ken… and a big HI to Linda!!!!
Yes Ken, you need therapy…..😂😂😋. Simple question but… are you an avid fertilizer and waterer? Makes a huge difference. In MD, I had hostas that were magnificent on the east facing side of our house. Filled around them with impatiens and they went gang busters. On the sunny bed, planted the wonderful perennials coreopsis and coneflowers. You need a trip to England to see their gorgeous gardens…. I think your wifey would love it. Thinking of you, Ellie W, wife of the big D formsman 👍🥰
Hi Ellie, Not so much on the fertilizer, not because I don't believe in it or anything like that, I just don't know what I'm doing. I have coreopsis and coneflowers in my sun bed. I lost two coreopsis over the winter. Your right about seeing the English gardens. Actually, there's plenty of good ones around here. GREAT to hear from you.
