Ivies As Groundcovers

Photo Description
I have six different ivies. I hope to add more to my collection. The only prerequisite is that the ivy be unique and totally different from any I now have.

I hope to have a nondescript pattern of these ivies under my maples. Filling in the bare spots is a no pressure task. When walking by, I notice a bare spot. I take a cutting from the existing ivy and insert it into the bare spot and cover with a soda bottle dome.

My contributions are on a lark. I'll let nature make the final decision as to how the finished work will look. Then, I'll pick the nicest spot and place a very old looking concrete bench there.

Iced tea and some light reading under the maples. Sounds good to me.

It would seem. Even the Aboriginals would have it so.

But, suum cuique, my Dear Anon. I find it more of an illusion.

I'm also a great fan of ivy - all kinds. I have not mixed mine but I think that is may be a good idea as the variegated is not always that great looking by itself (I'm talking about mine).

Thanks for the idea about starting one in the blank spaces.

Well, they wont actually be mixed, just separate patches that are attached.

(I know what you're thinking, 'Why do they call them apartments when their all stuck together?)
