Low water lawns.

Even though I have replaced most of my lawn with beds of perennials that are drought resistant I still would like to maintain a small area of lawn about 30 feet by 20 feet near the street. I have been researching low water lawn grasses and here is a great website and provider of alternative grasses that are more drought tolerant than the common Mediterranean grass so common today!

Time Flies.

The past few months have flown by. The drought has returned and I am glad I did not plant many annuals like I was planning to do when we had all the rain in the Spring. The water conservation rules are still being enforced and the temps have been in the 90s with barely any rain! The water has even evaporated from my old garbage can that I use as a second rain barrell!
