I used to care more about my lawn...but Houston summers have cured that! Now I’d be happy with a stone yard....of course I can’t do that here but...

Thanks-the yards here are close to stone-real, natural limestone-the soil here is only a few inches deep, where there is any at all. What trees and bushes grow naturally are what is there, and gardens are mostly curbed and filled with soil that is hauled in. I also live on a solid limestone cliff-good view, not helpful...

When I get rid of this place, the method to my madness of wanting a couple of acres or so-no cliff-is that I have a good chance of getting something with enough dirt to grow a garden without the expensive haul-in of more, and water it with gray water, like I do now-I’ll build a bigger and better gray water system, though-this one is primitive and very small.

The lawn grows. I cut it. Don’t much care what’s in it.

I’m thinking now I have about one month of cutting left for the year.
