Creeping Charlie!

Now is the time to get rid of your Creeping Charlie problem.   For small areas you can just use a metal claw and rake it out.  For larger areas you will need to spray and you need to spray BEFORE itstops flowering.  Once the Creeping Charlie stops flowering it develops a protective waxy that makes it resistant to herbicides.   I use Ortho Weed B-gone.  Anytime I use a chemical in the yard or garden my FIRST thought is the safety of my daughter and my dog.   Which is why whenever possible I try to spray after both Edie & Earl are in for the night.  That gives the chemical at least 8 hours to be absorbed. 

Now is the time to get on it!  Good Luck and Happy Gardening!
