IF IT EVER RAINS PROPERLY here, I know what I plan to do: divide and conquer! (Conquer beds, that is, with divided-up groundcovers.) A recap of some favorites that I rely on:
need great groundcovers? who doesn’t!

I am a new gardener just starting out and would like to invite you to my blog.
Welcome, Madeline. I’ve linked your name back to your url. Nice to meet you — and I will come have a visit. :)
I will not be able to make it to your talk at Cylburn in Baltimore tomorrow night. Spring is a busy time on the farm, and I must be here to get seeds in the ground. And I’d just fall asleep if I tried to attend and hear you. Have fun!
Oh, you cost me so much money, do you know that? Every time you post something new, I just know I’ll be throwing money at a nursery somewhere. Luckily, I think I’ve got everything posted here covered. But seriously, thank you. I have learned a ton from you and I think my newly acquired but heavily neglected yard will thank you as well.
Thank you for this post so much specific info. Dale
Some nice suggestions, one can never have too much ground cover.
Our garden is maturing quite nicely now so we are able to create new lower levels for planting as shrubs and trees are getting much taller.
Hi, Gaz. I am dividing and spreading madly over here. Must reduce bare spots! :)
Hi, Margaret! Just found your site and this post, and was initially all mad that I didn’t find it last week before my trek to the garden center for plants for my new shady beds. Now I feel smug because I actually just bought a lot of your recommended plants. Now if I only had any kind of knack for arranging them…
Hi, Potato Queen. Great minds think alike. :) Nice to see you and hear about your shopping expedition. Sounds very successful!
