Funny, I have had the Orange Asclepius perennial and it didn’t survive into the next year, don’t know why. I think The pink one grows at our community garden and seems Hardy, but is not spreading. I need a full carpet of plants. perhaps I,could intersperse the daylilies and also Asclepius.
it is a hill with poor soil and I will not waste my time amending soil because I have way too much of that work to do elsewhere.
I have a variety of ground covers. I just planted them, didn't do anything else to them.
You are in a different client climate than I am. Your ground covers in PNW will not work on the space I am talking about.Quote:

But our condo President said the old guy smokes in his own unit, and also has a little dog.
The dog I could handle, but um NO to a smoker in my perfect pristine tiny condo.
So i backed out of the idea, and the condo Prez thanked me profusely for my kind offer, and he agrees it would not be a good match.
so, this is a Rave because I get street cred for being a friend to the condo community but do not have to actually put myself out at all, a win/win. Our condo Prez really has no idea how rare it is for me to offer to help humans.
Haha!! Perfect! DH, always throwing offers of all kids out there to friends and strangers alike, feels the best thing is when you offer to do something for someone and they decline to take you up on it. I rarely roll the dice that way, but he always does and comes out smelling like a rose whether he fulfills his offer or not.Quote:

Another Rave:
In tooling around my tiny town of Hermann today I came across a newly opened fabric store. A FABRIC STORE! I distinctly remember the month the last fabric store within the city limits of St. louis, population 350,000, closed. So here my tiny town of 2,500 has a fabric store. Granted, the fabric is all for quilters and is all polished cotton, a type I never use. But it is still nice. it’s here because my tiny town is a tourist trap for groups of ladies. I don’t think it will be open a real long time, but who knows.
Also, Hermann has a brand new library just opened. I dont like the location at all, it osnt walkable. But the expanded collections, meeting rooms, and computers are nice. I used it this morning to print copies of several digital documents.
I offered to share my home with a co-worker (and her three children!) due to an abuse situation. Afterwards, I had this OMG! What have I done??? panic set in. Fortunately it didn't happen. She was a good person who didn't deserve the jerk. I lost track of her, but hope she eventually got free.
Out of curiosity, I looked up Hermann and it seems to be a lovely place, with hills and a river, and trees. Congratulations on your new home.
