Ugh--what memories of that! I had to sleep in it too. Double ugh!<br />I like your idea--and yes, I know the wood fern will come back. We are thinking we might try and dig as much up as we can. I really want an old wash tub--always have. This may be my excuse to buy one if I can find it. :)Meadowview Thymeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16867494627331444375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6135459971489056342.post-11755489357036434582009-07-14T16:55:05.275-07:002009-07-14T16:55:05.275-07:00No kidding it's hot!

It would look lovely with some asparagus or the more sun loving Boston ferns (I have one of them) spilling out of it. And then the wild fern could grow around it. You know it will come back with a vengeance!<br />BrendaBrenda Pruitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14544794729410559072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6135459971489056342.post-66352194114327745432009-07-13T19:22:01.162-07:002009-07-13T19:22:01.162-07:00Cindy, I can hardly stand to work out in this heat...Cindy, I can hardly stand to work out in this heat so this bed will have to wait.

I hate to take their food source away, and would not do that if it were monarch butterflies, but the stinkers were wiping out the entire group of ferns.

I love ajuga in the spring, and have a few plants, but it does not do very well for me for some reason. It maybe lack of water, I'm not sure. I love ground covers--and have some tiny creeper and thyme that does really well. So many things I would like to have..so little room for them! :)<br /><br />Hi mr! You said it!
