Oh the yard!



Right now, our property is a bit of a mess, yard-wise. We have two sweet-gum trees out front which have to go. They have invasive roots which threaten the house. I hope we can get the one on the left removed this year. There are two small patches between the house and sidewalk that need some cover. Last year we tried grass - it requires water (which costs money) and was a failure really. This year I'm going to try the ground cover vinca (pictured below). Hardy, invasive and drought tolerant - it seems like the plant for us. Now I haven't even gone into the back yard yet. That's another post.
