10. My Vinca has been absolutely beautiful, this year, with more blossoms than I've ever seen.

I think it would do well on that sloped patch of ground. Of course, I still have to de-weed it. I'm thinking about attacking it with the long handled 'claw'. Ideally I'd like to clear it and then cover it with black plastic, until next Spring, to sterilize the soil. Then I can start from scratch with lots of nice ground cover.

Fortunately it's in the very back of a deep lot, so it's not too visible, in its current state.
