Oh my gosh I am an awful gardener, except for the plants on the deck which I do actually take care of, plus they're the only ones that receive much sun. We have a very large back yard that is mostly given over to a mini oak savanna that John manages. A small veggie garden, and a very tiny area loaded with snapdragons and daisies.Kerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15281288495129054688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30939606.post-18441871096791403172020-06-30T17:40:04.173-05:002020-06-30T17:40:04.173-05:00Our yard is a lawn (not native, obviously, but req...Our yard is a lawn (not native, obviously, but required by the way things are now) and a Sago palm. For years i have wished i could grow plants, but alas, i have the dreaded black thumb. As for what others grow, i simply admire and do not pass judgment.messymimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10649529601786689712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30939606.post-67841995328811062212020-06-29T10:53:38.671-05:002020-06-29T10:53:38.671-05:00You are special here too.

I just cut my purple coneflowers back. I haven't seen the orange version. I like that.ellen abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535475792150335186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30939606.post-6714789041672940072020-06-26T05:18:18.419-05:002020-06-26T05:18:18.419-05:00I figure just grow what you like.

We don't use very many chemicals but we do use some, to keep our lawn from being ripped up again, hopefully to keep our new raspberry plants from having spoiled, wormy fruit, weed control in gravel area. We have a lot of native ferns, shrubs, and trees, but our flowering plants are mostly cultivars that persist here where heat and sun are often lacking.
