A different dry shade problem
The message
from "Charlie Pridham" contains these words: "Steve Harris" wrote in message ... I'm planning a parking space and an thinking of the slightly old-fashioned design of two lines of concrete slabs an axle length apart. But what can I plant in the ground in between? :-) Sometimes my car will be parked over the plants keeping off both sun and rain. Worse still, I have a Citroen that sinks to about 3" clearance. Then, If I go away for a week with the car, the site will get full sun and/or rain. I guess grass would work but then there's mowing. Every week, I'd have to drive off, find parking, walk home, mow, walk back to the car and drive home again :-( Suggestions? I have sandy, free draining slightly alkaline soil. How about those free seeding purple leafed violets (used to be viola labradorica) seems to grow everywhere :~) Er, ground elder? Horsetails? (Ducks and runs...) -- Rusty Open the creaking gate to make a horrid.squeak, then lower the foobar. http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/hi-fi/ |
