The A.D.D. Gardener

I have learned to manage my ADD in most areas of my life but I have to tell you this disorder really shows its ugly head when I step into the garden.
My morning in the garden went something like this: Slip into the boots, stuff hands in gloves. . .Remember I forgot the cell phone. Slip out of boots, take off one glove. Put phone in my pocket and look for the glove I just took off. Open the door. . . . close the door. I better get a sweater. Open door again and walk with purpose toward… Continue

STEP ONE - Make a Plan
Posted on March 6, 2010 at 11:41pm 2 Comments 0 Likes
Garden professionals will tell you to have a written plan for your gardens. My plan was written in my head. Not really a good place to keep it for the risk of losing your mind in the building process is high. Non-the less, in my mind the plan remained as I…

Sally Smith z4 said… - The creeping phlox is beautiful when blooming but pretty short lived. It forms a thick mat of almost prickly evergreen foliage which can turn brown if allowed to dry out. Mine seemed rather slow to get established but then took off.
I have had trouble with huge ant hills forming under this nice shelter. A patch of the phlox would be dying out and sure enough a colony of ants would have moved in.
It's pretty hardy, I walk on it as I make my way to other sections of the garden.
It doesn't really prevent weeds and grasses from sprouting and I am constantly cleaning out invaders.
So like everything it has it's pros and cons. For me the cons are worth the spring burst of color

- Hi Pattie,
The hill is blooming with creeping phlox (phlox subulata). It comes in a variety of colors from white, pale pink, deep pink, lavender and purple red. It blooms in the spring and then is a deep green the remainder of the summer.
