Violets. 3.11.18

From time to time I dig up violet plants from the old yard in Vancouver, and plant them in borders and beds in the Battleground yard.  They make a nice ground cover and few weeds will grow in them.  Herbivores and slugs don't seem to eat them.  I don't give them any care. 

Fifteen years ago, I planted some violets from my parents' yard in Illinois..   The plants and leaves were bigger, but slugs kept eating those and they died out.  So apparently, NW violets are less palatible to slugs.
