Question:
I’m not a gardener! Since I’ve been on my own I’ve had a lot of scrubs taken out and flower beds stones over. This saves the annual cost of a gardener. However, it does look a bit bald in places.
About six weeks ago, a friend and I over-seeded a large patch with ground cover, mainly Alyssum and a thyme plant of some sort. I’ve just wandered out there and it’s all growing very well.
I’m wondering what to do on other patches. Can anyone recommend low ground cover plants that can be sown in the August/September period?

Something like ground cover phlox flowers in the spring and stays evergreen

Thanks. There are some very attractive varieties available online but it's too late to seed the garden with them this year.

It's a butterfly and seeing it fend off the bees is rather spectacular on a big tv

I've been loving all the photos @michael57 it's been lovely to see some other keen gardeners getting to enjoy the fruits (or flowers) of their labours. ❤️
I enjoyed a sit outside at 3am last night with the dogs in the cool air, smelling the freshly bloomed sweetpeas. It was a lovely escape from the madness of the world during the day. Very good for the soul.

Do any of your lot work in farming? Just curious!
Your garden reminds me of one near me, but they also grow veg. Every summer they charge £5 for a look around, with the proceeds going to 'The Fire Fighters Charity'.
Their garden is really large with a mature trees ( some are Scots Pine i think).One has a wrap around bench.

It was so peaceful and fresh. Lucky you and thanks for the memory 😊
