Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

what is a good ground covering plant?
I have a very small patch of "lawn" in a wet shady area. It is also on a hill. No matter what I try, grass won't grow. What is a good ground covering plant that doesn't attract too many bugs (the hill is by the grill and patio set)?
I do like ivy but it seems to attract gnats. Is there an evergreen that creeps like ivy does?

There are some low growing Junipers. They stay low but branch out quite a bit, re-root and spread.

A good one is Ophiopogan "Kyoto Dwarf" or common name is Dwf Mondo Grass, but I think you are too cold for it. Do not think it likes much below zone 8 How about Pacysandra or Vinca minor. Ajuga I think would be hardy also as well as some hostas. All of these should be readily available in your area if they will grow there. Guessing you are zone 6 maybe colder. I have a nursery in South Florida zone 10 but miss some of the temperate stuff...Japanese Maples, bearded Iris,
