We're not apartment dwellers - have plenty of room to plant stuff, but unless it's confined to the areas where the sprinkler system is, or the drip system on some of the little groves of trees, it won't make it here. Trees are not a 'natural' part of our landscape! (well, unless you count mesquite trees! LOL) We 'have' a lot of trees, but we had to plant them.
But that's the fun and joy of having a yard. It's *is* a lot of work, and it's heartbreaking when things don't take as well as they should, but I always though of it as my "therapy." No matter how hard I worked in the yard or how much I perspired, I always had a sense of peace when I was done for the day.
I miss daisy, too! :-(
