Thanks for very useful article. I use creeping jenny and plumbago as my main weed-blockers, with the added benefits that they're easy to dig up and share and they're pretty. I always have some to share. Creeping jenny is also great to marking where I've planted bulbs so I don't forget and disturb them later. Ajuga also spreads well and overwhelms weeds.

Didn't think about marking bulbs with CJ! That's a great Idea, I think I'll use CC to mark any I plant in the future, as I'm constantly chopping plants I forgot I planted LOL!
Thanks!
