Vinca Minor also known as periwinkle is described: For shady areas beneath shrubs, and in other dim places, even where grass won't grow, you can have a 12-month carpet of thick abundant, evergreen Periwinkle ground cover.
OK then! The other vincas I was looking at actually require more sun. Plus, these are cheap - real cheap. I am worrying a lot about money right now, primarily because I have none. So, if I can fill the big empty void (the dirt-patch in front of our house) with something that is remotely decent, then I'm all about the periwinkle.
Now, what to put in the hanging baskets in front of the house. I'm thinking simply ivy. It will topple out of the top of the baskets. The flowers, begonias, that I put in last year were too short just looked small.
Daisy had a big day today, going to Rothwell Park and diving in the water to fetch her toy and then running up the hill to fetch her ball. That dog can sure swim to fetch and run to fetch. She didn't run out of energy much to Dee's consternation. N0w, however, at 9:30 at night, she's in her crate dreaming - very funny - probably about running the show. We were very strict today and it frustrated her. She's gotta learn!
