And this year I'm making peace with the dichondra that's invading the St. Augustine. It seems to do well with or without water, and is dense enough to make a great groundcover. I like the way it looks, so in the long run maybe it'll help with the water bill (that is...if it ever stops raining).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5209795625610717528.post-76279829538258552842007-07-03T20:47:00.000-06:002007-07-03T20:47:00.000-06:00Hi Bobbi,I look forward to reading more about your...Hi Bobbi,<BR/><BR/>I look forward to reading more about your research into front yard gardens. My HOA are total yard nazi's, so I'm looking to do edible front yard landscaping that won't bring us tons of HOA letters saying we have "weeds" growing. Sigh...<BR/><BR/>We have yet to water our grass this summer, thanks to all this Texas hill country rain we've been getting. (Ain't it crazy!) But I would love to get rid of all our grass. Let me know how you do.<BR/><BR/>I'm adding you to my links as well. (Thanks for the link 2 my blog...I appreciate it!) Let's chat/email sometime, since we're so close in location & have similar goals. Perhaps we could learn from & inspire each other.<BR/><BR/>Greenly Yours,<BR/>Ladybug<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://greenladybug.blogspot.com/" REL="nofollow">http://greenladybug.blogspot.com/</A>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
