you are doing an amazing job in getting rid of your grass!!!
The desert garden looks like it is doing so well for you. Love it.
Glad you are still around in the background and surprise us here and there. Especially with pictures

Josh, your garden looks amazing! I like the way the grass looks between the flagstone; will you be planting something else between them, like thyme, maybe? What is that black 'mulch' you used in your flower beds? Thanks for sharing!

Josh
you have done a Beautiful job with your yard, I knew those Brugs would have a good home, I would love for you to see my yard, my camera is still at the repair, I totally agree with you on the wasted space of a small piece of grass, get rid of it have more flowers, I did the same thing,
I took out all the grass & put a contorted Filbert there with lots of mulch a concrete pedestal with catcus in a pot I made myself hypertuffa, & a hugh agave in a pot on the ground beside the Filbert, as soon as my camera gets back I can take all kinds of Pic's Thank you, Josh for the wonderful tour of your Georgeous Yard

Lucy, thanks! I'm already thinking of the next patch to be removed, There will be no grass at all anywhere near the patio.The lawn will be in shadier areas to the right of the area shown in the pics (north of the house).

Eloise, i was actually thinking of creeping thyme, but someone also suggested sedum. I just don't know how much foot traffic sedum can take. Do you know? The black mulch is just dyed (?) woodchips. I found them at the home depot and have also seen them at walmart.

Thanks Elizabeth! how are the seeds doing for you? Have you sown them yet? I also can't wait to see your pics. hopefully it'll be soon!

the seeds are in the ground, I just put them in the dirt the other day, my GH is just sitting on the grass, so I dug up some of that in the GH & put the seeds in little rows when I turned the grass under, I am sure they will do fine, it should be about a week & I will be able to post some Pic's, I will be able to show you what my no grass side of the yard looks like, if you can grow fig trees there do it, they are great fresh, my fig tree made it through the winter with heavy mulch from leaves

Your gardens plants and pictures are wonderful!!!
