Use for Mind Your Own Business

Tinks32

I really love this so called weed, and have it growing in the shady areas of my garden. I was finishing off my winter baskets and didn't have any moss to top them off with, so i decided to try to use some mind your on business instead. It looks very cool and i think the baskets will look gorgeous when the Hyacinths (that I planted in the baskets) come through. A good use for a plant that some class as a weed:)

My guess is that few people know what you're talking about, or they think you're daft using a weed like this. I don't. In most gardens the plant isn't a serious nuisance. It looks really good in a number of situations.

Same goes for Woodruff; another under-used plant that looks scary, but isn't.

It took over some shady spaces on my last plot too, but s-l-o-w-l-y.

It's better creeping over hard landscaping to soften it, rather than through borders, but I could name a dozen weeds I'd swap with it, anytime.

As you know, shady borders aren't exactly my problem now! :rotfl:
