I had to look twice when I saw this article on sedums:
Those tiny white flowers looked hauntingly familiar.
I quickly scanned the print to see if it really could be what I thought it was....
I nearly screamed out loud....it was indeed 'coral carpet'!
Backyard Living needs to send a reporter over to my garden to photograph me all red-faced and nearly falling over from exhaustion as I dig this stuff out in my now two-year attempt to eradicate it from my garden. Sensational ground cover- I guess that is true --as long as you want ALL THE GROUND YOU HAVE to be covered.
At least this article makes me feel a bit better about being seduced by this plant. I pity the author of this article when the lynch mobs come looking for her once they find out what this plant is really like!
Well, I must get back to my pedicure. Yesterday I had my nails done and now I need to get matching toes. I do it myself to save money, but the fatter I get, the harder it is to reach those toes! :)
I use the magazines to shield the carpet from the red polish. Then I just bend over right from my computer chair and polish them. That way I can blog while I do it. I told you before that I am a master of multi-taking! :)

I myself am going tomorrow for a pedicure. I love those things. I can handle the nails pretty good.
ReplyDeleteYou did a good job on those toes!

Oh my, that's something about the story including your dreaded sedum. I also have a love/hate relationship with this ornamental grass I have. I like it, but once it spreads, you pull your guts out removing the babies after they are rooted!
ReplyDeleteNice toenails-I won't discuss mine.
Oh Zoey you have me laughing..blogging and applying nail polish! Only you!! hehe I do my own manicures and pedicures only getting them done 'professionally' once or twice a year.
ReplyDeleteThe way you feel about sedum I feel about chinese lanterns..I worked on that for 2 years to eradicate them and they are gone..well almost, I still have one trying to peek out of the ground once in awhile.
