It depends Jody. You haven't mentioned what planting zone your in, etc. But
as a general rule, planting ground cover seeds in mid summer doesn't sound
very productive. The reasons why the mail order companies aren't shipping
those kind of plants now is because it's not a good time to do so. That
shouldn't deter you from pulling out all the weeds, herbaciding two weeks
later for sprout eradication, than roto-tilling and amending the soil in
preparation for fall. It will keep you busy.

Hello,
I have a wooded area that I want to replace the weeds with attractive
groundcovers. I have fresh dirt and need to plant. Would planting from
seed take too long? I am having a hard time finding the plants. Most
mail
order companies won't ship until the fall and I can't really wait that
long.
I am looking for suggestions. Thank you.
Jody
