You're making good progress, but it will take time, and most likely will always be a work in progress. That's just the nature of gardens!<br /><br />Keep up the good work Marilyn. It will all be worth it.<br /><br />xxxDoreen@foxdenrdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09418636999038800443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6181382386833074929.post-37861833721524846962016-05-22T14:50:36.981-07:002016-05-22T14:50:36.981-07:00Hi Marilyn.

I cringed when I thought of heads being in those wooden boxes. Don't tell me what kind they were! :-| Yes, those are Creeping Myrtle or Vinca Minor.. they'll spread real well for you. Thanks for the tips on getting my blog post to go up on time.

I really appreciate and LOVE comments. Probably by the time our yard is fixed up, I'll be too pooped to do yours! LOL..... it is alot of hard work, and at our ages, we can only do a little at a time, and then rest. It's a very slow process, but also a JOY to have our own place and know we're doing this for us. Hugs..

It's alot of work to keep a garden up but once you get it established everything will fall into place. You are like me, I really can't tell most plants if it doesn't have a flower on it, then sometimes that's iffy too..Happy Wednesday and thank you for your nice and caring words to me.

This house was a rental for a long time and I think when it sat vacant for several months, people came in and took any plants they could! Good to know the vines may be vinca minor.. I'll look them up... and it is a ground cover and grew profusely where I dug it up from. I've noticed in a few of my pots that wintered over outside, that a few things are coming up again (hardy little critters).. even a geranium! some little stout pansies are making an appearance too. Our climate here is dry and harsh in the winter.. can easily get down to 20 or 25 below zero.. and 110 in the summer.

If I were you, I'd watch just a little bit to see what comes up in the flower beds. You never know what wonderful things might be waiting for the right warmth. Just cracked me up that your neighbor marched over to tell you that you have the yard...the one full of weeds. I hope he or she brought cookies. :)<br /><br />That little vine with purple flowers looks like it might be vinca minor which is perennial. It's a ground cover here but I don't know what it might do in your climate...and then again it might be something else.Staceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05728612514516285320noreply@blogger.com
