I like all your grass-free beds, Wendy, and succulents, it looks like the weed-free garden I imagine having, instead of my exuberant weeds and spreading perennials. I grew up in Texas, but in Houston where it was pretty wet and the weeds were also very exuberant.
ReplyDeleteThanks Hannah! Sadly I am battling bermuda grass in those spots that actually get sun, even those new beds where the sod was recently removed. :-/ I spent all day today digging down to try to get it at the roots where I could, but in other spots (like under the decomposed granite) I fear I'll have to take more drastic measures.
DeleteIn my old garden it was crabgrass...it's always something! :-) My goal is to cram so many plants in, the weeds don't get any light!
This looks Awesome!! Keep us updated on the rain runoff battle.
ReplyDeleteThanks a bunch! After the early morning storms all seems to be fine from a water standpoint; it was all the downed tree limbs that were more troublesome. Miraculously they all landed in spots that happened to be plant-free!
DeleteI love your plant choices, Wendy. That's going to be great as it fills in!
DeleteThanks a bunch, Pam! I'm resisting the urge to buy more for that bed, but I'm already eyeing other parts of the yard for future potential. ;-)
