#sweetwoodruff seems to be adapting well to its spot in the shade of a big maple 17 May 2024 #edible #ediblelandscaping #shadelover

I moved the #sweetwoodruff to a new shady spot this morning next to the hostas. I divided it in two so it can spread in this weedy unused area. The mower will keep it in check. 14 May 2023 #galiumoderatum #groundcover #shade-loving

Trying out a #sweetwoodruff #groundcover in my herb bed by the back door. Some good roots on this guy. Picked this up from #hundredfruitfarm this morning. I'd never heard of it before today but they mentioned it's used to make May Wine in Germany, so THAT is something I have to try. 13 May 2023 #galiumoderatum

Uh oh. I might have put this in the wrong spot. I just read that it's shade loving. Might have to move it tomorrow. 🤪🙃

It spreads, all right, but not gently!
