I have a dry embankment that is covered in wild grass. It is too steep to safely strim on a regular basis. I am thinking of covering it with weed fabric and then planting some ground cover plants to take the place over. Is Cotoneaster dammerii a good plant for this. Is this also more commonly called bearberry cotoneaster. How far apart should I plant them?

I recently got a huge bag of daffodil bulbs from a friend of mine. Trouble is, my garden is not landscaped yet. Will I have to plant them into pots now, or can I keep them as they are in an onion bag high and dry in my garage rafters for planting next year?
