Do any of y’all know what this ground cover is? I’ve never come across it before, but I like it.

That looks like pachysandra. I absolutely hate the stuff. You can never get rid of it once it grows.

Ha! I think you’re right. Good to know; I spend enough time warring with English Ivy and bittersweet.

That was my first thought when I looked at it.

One of the first things i did when I moved in was tear down and burn off any ivy. That stuff is evil.

It is. I’m constantly fighting Ivy and Virginia Creeper. Best stuff is Epsom salt and dawn dish soap added to water. Spray it every couple of weeks and the leaves wilt and die. No leaves, dormant plant. Works better in the heat.

Salting the earth? This is more my language! I have lots of practice with this in relationships.
But alas, the places I would need to use it are places that I need to replant ASAP.
That’s the beauty of it. Epsom salt mixed with dish soap and water is a non-persistent surfactant. Only wilts the leaves on the plants you spray. Essentially you starve the plant, rather than poisoning it.
I use it for control on the growing months, and rip the plants out in late winter.

I love Community Channel/Natalie. She’s hilarious!
Here are my indoor plants. Above the fish tank is a baby orchid, nasturtiums and chives, the big green one in the window is an oncidium orchid, and the other three orchids are phalaenopsis. The white one I’ve had for about 4 years and this is its best bloom yet.
