We have covered the entire back yard with mulch, and are thinking about what to do about the front yard in suburbia.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07853325001701720645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35346965.post-39602177818443087842011-03-05T07:57:41.923-06:002011-03-05T07:57:41.923-06:00LOL, Shyrlene!

We used to feed the raccoons to keep them out of our trash cans. <br /><br />Susan, most of our lot is just sand with weeds that struggle to survive. The wetland areas are full of trees and vines. We've never been able to irrigate the entire lot to maintain a lawn (or flower beds). Probably, if we didn't have such an odd-shaped lot with a creek cutting through it, we'd have done it differently. Hopefully, though, I will be in tall clover this summer. :-)Deborah Verhoevenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09298856186154757906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35346965.post-17644918090253730462011-03-04T12:22:50.692-06:002011-03-04T12:22:50.692-06:00Grass is one of those irritating things in the gar...Grass is one of those irritating things in the garden. When it looks and performs well it looks great, but after an infestation of chinch bugs or too much shade...it becomes a real problem. We have a large lot, too and I can't see not having some grass...even though I plan to eliminate as much as possible. Good luck with your clover.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01106128705768954876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35346965.post-70836163173464715432011-03-03T21:45:56.327-06:002011-03-03T21:45:56.327-06:00Deb - this is a topic that is near and dear to my ...Deb - this is a topic that is near and dear to my heart! Last year my neighbor called over the fence, asking how my "field of dreams" was coming? I'd like to think she has "plant envy"... as I carve out my new gardens. ;) The bunnies like the clover in the grass, and if it keeps them away from the 'good stuff', then it's ALL good!Shyrlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00685584387384789321noreply@blogger.com
