Dymondia margaretae

Time for the #Dymondia margaretae, a.k.a., silver carpet to be edged and replanted in the bare areas. The is the front garden. #dymondiamargaretae #silver carpet #droughttolerant #lawnalternative #southerncalifornia 17 August 2024

Thank you, Laura. It should fill in nicely. @columbiariver

Today was the day to finally begin some much-needed #edging of the front #dymondia margaretae. I will plant each piece cut off from the front to the back. I am pleased with this for my "lawn". I rarely water once established. #silvercarpet #dymondiamargaretae #droughttolerant #southerncalifornia 13 April 2022

Yes, I was that crazy lady out with her flashlight hunting #slugs tonight on the #Dymondia. I used my long pinchers to pick them up -- 190 of them! 🤯 #slug #pestcontrol-slugs #slugplucking #Dymondiamargaretae #pestcontrol-slugs #pestcontrol #southerncalifornia #california 2 May 2019

Ewwww you go girl!!!

😂 @nikkicasas 🚫

Ugh 😑

I’m seeing more and more of this type of slug. Where’ve they come from cause we never used to have them before. Are they invaders from another country?

Gross !!! 😳😳

Now that's just crazy Janice!!🤦🤣🤣💘😍

I agree! 😫 Soooo disgusting! @juliesgarden @cyndi @sherrisgarden @Jasonsparkes1 @ShelleySnyder

@pixierose the rain we had has brought our slugs back. We usually have HUGE (4"-5" long) Cellar Slugs (Limacus flavus) here, but as the drought progressed, there were less. This particular slug in my 📸, Striped Greenhouse Slug (Ambigolimax valentianus) is new. As the name indicates, it is introduced, probably from nurseries. 🐔We need some birds. 😁

OMG. 190 of them! 😲 Hens & hedgehogs are good at controlling them here, if you have them of course, which sadly I don't 😕

I don't either Jake. I saw a Robin hopping about there in the morning and wondered if they ate the little ones I missed. We have opossums, but apparently they have not been earning their keep. @jeatacake

I saw a thrush yesterday eating a snail, after smashing its shell, but tgere are way too many slugs & snails here & they're a real nuisance in the greenhouse 😡

Starting the planting of the "lawn" of #dymondia in my back garden. I will not have to mow this or water much at all once it is established. #gardenmakeover-lovestogarden #mygarden-lovestogarden #lovestogarden #southerncalifornia #california 20 October 2018

Looks like a lot of work!! Well done I bet it’s going to look great!!🤗😊💕

It's going to look lovely when it's established.

That’ll be gorgeous Janice 💚

That's going to look really good Janice!💘😍

I can't wait to see this! It's going to look awesome!!

Thank you so much!! ❤️ @terrimclaughlin @Soph1e @mich @ShelleySnyder @Yollymac @cyndi You are ALL so sweet. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

🤗🤗🤗

Good idea saves mowing ☺👍

Yes, my thoughts exactly, Judy! It will also be a water savor for me. @plants ❤️

#dymondia as grass in my front yard with a wayward Gazania growing. #silvercarpet

That gazania looks lost!! 😂😂😂😂

Hope in the middle of ocean 😉😊

😂@kipcott it does look lost!

@gauravsh6 , yep, a life raft! 😂👏

A tiny yellow flower from my new drought-tolerant "lawn".

Might be a prettier alternative to my couch grass!
