She don’t need no stinkin lawn

last year

Here’s a takeoff on ken’s post. I started a new post as there are soooo many comments on ken’s post that I was afraid people would miss these photos. This corner house is a bloom from spring to fall.Don't know how she does it!

im glad you didnt bury it in the old post ...

i enjoyed this.. scroll back up.;. note the grass is in total drought.. almost hedging to dormancy...

BUT NOT THE FLOWERS... i dont think i see one plant i water stress ...

i dont get you peeps that think this requires a gardener.. or its so work heavy ... think about it.. what.. 3 hours a week mowing.. edging.. weedwhipping ... plus all the fert.. and water the lawn anyway .;..

this type of well established garden.. might need an hour or two of weeding for a week in later spring.. and then again in fall .. and then some fall cleanup ...

i might think its a wash on cost and labor either way ...

besides.. lawn care is a drudge... gardening is a passion ... one is much easier to go out and do ...

I also don't know how the owner does it! Maybe they have a gardener? Either way, it is amazing. I would like to talk to them and learn their "secrets."

I've been digging out the area between the sidewalk and the curb, and this gives me a lot of ideas about where to go with it. Of course, this is should I ever actually get it finished.

This garden is amazing isn’t it? It’s also beautiful in spring, full of bulbs blooming. No hired gardener here……she was outside watering when I stopped to ask permission to take photos. She was my age or bit couple years older. I’m 69 now. I told her I wanted to post them to a garden forum and she was fine with that. I’ll have to remember to get photos in spring. Glad you enjoyed the photos!
