Jun. 23rd, 2009 09:48 pmThe Zoodle is having trouble sleeping. I suspect the heat is to blame so have turned on the AC, which has it nice and chill on the main floor but isn't doing much upstairs. Really need to figure out what's going on with that; we have the same problem with the heat in the winter. Hopefully with the addition of a fan she'll conk out for the night.
Meanwhile I am kind of at grumpy loose ends, so am ruminating about the garden.
In addition to mulch, I figure I also need plant soldiers in the weed battle, namely: edging. Something to grow in those spaces so the creeping charlie et cetera won't. Would like a nice variety though so the resulting "border" doesn't look too weirdly formal. So am browsing the intarwebs to compile possibilities.
* more pink thrift
* hens & chicks
* more munstead lavender
* flowering sage
* dianthus
* more creeping phlox
* rock cress
* snow-in-summer
The intarwebs keep suggesting catmint (nepeta). Is that not the same thing as catnip? Because I think I have enough cat traffic in my yard, kthxbai...
