I mostly just mow it, don't feed it, and only watered it about 3 times all summer. There's one place where the grass doesn't grow, however, and I'm thinking about a different future for that area. <BR/><BR/>AnnieAnnie in Austinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14662139490401110432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33495399.post-1158964747913675742006-09-22T17:39:00.000-05:002006-09-22T17:39:00.000-05:00Garden contemplation is my middle name !!

But I did manage to plant a Pride of Barbados in the middle of my front yard in my feeble attempt to rid myself of the nuisance of growing, watering, cutting and feeding GRASS. It's green and it's pretty but too much trouble.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33495399.post-1158941627488925582006-09-22T11:13:00.000-05:002006-09-22T11:13:00.000-05:00I'm still trying to decide how much of my lawn I i...I'm still trying to decide how much of my lawn I intend to keep. Oddly enough, the grass in my front yard fared well over the summer without much help. I know I'll always need a patch in the back, because the dogs like it. I've been trying to convince my husband to at least remove the sod along the hell strip so I can put something pretty there.r r shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15698022616392554555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33495399.post-1158931469337048292006-09-22T08:24:00.000-05:002006-09-22T08:24:00.000-05:00You're talking about getting rid of grass.

I love a front-yard garden, which is a way of sharing with the neighborhood.<BR/><BR/>But after being lawn-free for five years (front and back), I find that I'm missing that oasis of green turf. So I'm adding a small patch of lawn in the back yard. <BR/><BR/>Perhaps lawns are like any other gardening fashion, waxing and waning in popularity.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
