A Revolution in your Own Backyard

Dear friends,

Here's a good essay from the folks at Native American Seed in Junction, Texas about the importance of using native plants in our landscapes to help undo the damage that we've done to our environment.

It's well worth a read, and while you're there, shop for seeds for native plants and grasses.

Have a Happy Food Independence Day on Sunday,and remember to Grow Organic, Demand Organic, and Buy Organic!

And plant natives. :-)

Happy trails,

Front yard landscaping

And here's the front of the house, mostly dead grass and all. But that's OK with me! I hate spending time on nothing but grass. I'd much rather have fruit trees, herbs, natives, butterfly plants, small shrubs, etc. It's a work in progress, always.

Future projects include painting the house (perhaps pink? or yellow?), a front decorative fence that I can grow roses against, perhaps a walkway through the middle of the yard for people who park on the street to walk up through the garden, front porch railings, perhaps a parking pagoda over the driveway and more small and medium sized shrubs to fill in.

And oh yes, more plants to hide these, the bane of my existence. UGH!



More later!

dig it!
