As for the mahonia, yes, it's happy to spread, but we've found it reasonably controllable. Best thing is to plant it where you might have trouble growing other things: it's tough, so give it sun and it's pretty happy.MulchMaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13848950758103138175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5335321786750265682.post-44933025042702623432009-04-19T22:21:00.000-07:002009-04-19T22:21:00.000-07:00OK, that uva-ursi thing is kinikinik, right?

Other patches are just indestructible. I planted some of the same mahonia recently, although I hear its roots go everywhere. Has that been your experience?

Another garden blogger said she keeps her records on flikr, with pictures of the plant. Now that's organized!<br /><br />Please DO put plant and bloom pics on your blog. I'd love it!MulchMaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13848950758103138175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5335321786750265682.post-66118805564225468632009-04-19T17:09:00.000-07:002009-04-19T17:09:00.000-07:00I love taking flower pictures!
