| Tom, I really lke that have been doing these plant articlws. I am looking for some low ground cover to be around my grist mill. Your desriptions and pictures have been a great help. I am getting more and more ideas. My first thought was elfin thyme, but now I think I have more choices. It is in full sun. |
