I scattered Preen weed killer / fertilizer all throughout the garden, forgetting to avoid the six year-old bugleweed and creeping Jenny I cultivated so it spills artfully over the wall and softens the transition from the rocks to the lirope.
So now all that is dead. I could replant it, or I could see if any of it resurrects. Or I could left the lirope grow up to the edge. Or I could dig everything up, or start from scratch.
I do need to thin out the flowering thyme. I could start with that and then see where to go.
Sad, though.

Aw, sorry. I like plants that ease transitions. I’d vote for replanting (or planting something), but maybe you need to wait until the Preen stops being active before planting anyway, so you can give them some time to re-sprout if they’re going to?
Hope the thyme doesn’t give you any problems!
KC – I am thinking of ground cover geraniums now. I see them all over the neighborhood.
Oooh. That does sound good.
