Are you looking for congratulations? Is this linked to another thread or topic as the strange title implies? There’s no background story or introduction so I don’t think anyone knows what the point of this post is. Are you showing an improvement? And if so, is there a before?

And yes, you can just type “bump” if you want to bump a post.

I think Marie is posting this in reference to Kali's thread about what to do with a slope.

Great solutions for slopes. I just recommended that a friend use G. 'Karmina' or 'Biokovo' for a similar slope in sun.

I think it is a wonderful solution for a slope!

"Thanks, Ken. especially if you get to it before I do. I can't imagine my attention span is longer than yours.

You callin' that tool shed a "blob"? right over the crest of the hill is a church, affiliated with the tool shed. It has been strangely silent all these past 3 months. In the past gardening on Sunday mornings to "Amazing Grace" was rather nice.

I started transplanting the perennial geraniums about 4 or 5 years ago. I bought "spessart" at least 15 years ago. It has covered bare ground in a few locations, beginning in my "front" garden which was an inhospitable desert of Norway maples and their matted roots. In a few short years it covered at least 20 x 20 area. I just kept breaking it up and moving to other places where I needed weed suppression. The magenta "sanguineum" was a gift. It really keeps giving.

Ingerswen's variety is sturdy and a good pink. and a couple of inches taller. So it adds a little 'wave' to a planting. I've only recently figured out how to use it effectively.

I'm not sure karmina or biviko could compete among these ruffians. They'd be good on that small slope someone mentioned. One or other of those is not full sun tolerant; in my garden It roasted in full afternoon sun here.

Rabbits have never touched the big roots. I think the aromatic foliage may deter them. They've eaten Rozanne, magnificum, and some more delicate ones in early spring. No fencing. In other areas of the garden, I pour "Rabbit Scram" over columbines, young tender hostas and more delicate trailing geraniums. Deer are not a problem yet. Yet is the operative word.

Anna, nice to meet you! Dee's answer is correct; I was responding to the other post. But this is also a good stand alone.Good information can get buried among other responses to a post. II don't this needs a before picture to be helpful but since you asked.....

I don't know what you mean about looking for congratulations. Would you like to say more so I understand?

The hillside was never planted , Weed trees came in, buckthorn, garlic mustard, lesser celandine, bedstraw were happy there. When we moved in 25 years ago I had the energy to weed a few days a summer. Once I newspapered the whole slope. Two artifical knees later and chronic back pain ended such efforts.

Throughout this post I've misspelled "rodotypos" It's not well known, but it is the right plant for the right place. Once you have one you'll get several seedlings a year. Now those are cheap plants.
