I understand what is being said, but I really do like the look and feel of green grass.

I wonder what the difference between a lawn and a vegetable garden are? Would love to get ahold of these scientists.

We’ve already replaced most of the grass in our front and back yards with garden plots, ivy on the steep parts, bushes and trees. But we like to keep two grassy areas so we can play croquet. Still, we’ll certainly go with clover. It might slow down the balls quite a bit but, hey!, the best purpose of the game is to relax and get mellow, not to bang your opponent’s ball way off course or to show what a skilled, macho player you are by slamming your own ball thru more than one wicket at a time. Make Play, Not War.

When we moved into our new home over two years ago my husband and I decided to tear out the grass and replace it with various plants. We did not do it so much to save the envirnoment but to save the amount of work that goes into keeping a lawn looking “nice”. We have a variety of wildflowers and other plants that are native to central Texas. Month to month the scene varies, but there is usually a lot of color, as well as a variety of butterfiles and bees, as well as occassional hummingbirds.

Our plants stand up the the hot summer weather, the lack of rain that this area has gotten for the last three years, and the occassional freezing temperatures during January nights.
