Is Creeping Charlie the same as Ground Ivy? 

[EatTheWeeds]

@Dreoilin In this regard no, although there is a ground ivy called creeping charlie. This is micormeria brownii whereas the ground ivy is Glechoma hederacea.

Oh, Deene. My coworker wanted to find out if you are single. :)

[EatTheWeeds]

@firebrandsgirl Yep, lifelong bachelor. Always planned on getting married but it never happened.

[firebrandsgirl]

creeping charlie is in my yard. my yard isn't wet. I will check to make sure it is creeping charlie when I get home.

[EatTheWeeds]

@firebrandsgirl It likes water, no doubt about that. Might you have non-edible venus looking glass?

What part of the world are you in??

[firebrandsgirl]

@firebrandsgirl Thanks, I will let her know that I was more then embarrassed to ask. hahaah.

[firebrandsgirl]

@littlsuprstr I just learned that one weed I have isn't henbit. It looks like it but I can tell the different. hahah

[littlsuprstr]

@firebrandsgirl it's probably creeping charlie. it's a very common lawn weed. i tore out a garden bed full of it. now i regret not drying it and making it into tea.
