IKR!! I have been expanding flower beds and veggie gardens. Grass is stupid.

And unnatural!

@AstralSmoke (except landscape grasses)

Because someone in the past thought I needed unnecessary work to do!

I totally support this idea. We've an irrigation system for the lawn and garden beds. I'm always amazed and ashamed in the summer.... my morning hike through the suburb.. literally thousands of gallons of drinking water pumped on our lawns, and the runoff going down the storm drains. MURICA!!!!

I grow nothing but ornamentals. Food for the soul! I inherited the lawn from the previous homeowner. I never water it, but we get plenty of rain here. It does, however, grow so fast as to beg to be mowed even more than weekly. That is, the suburban neighborhood standard expectation is to keep it mowed. So there is pressure to be a considerate neighbor and mow the damned thing.

I hate lawns. I am replacing mine as quick as I can with flower and herb beds. The remaining remnants I eventually hope to replace with low maintenance groundcovers, maybe clover for the honeybees.

Agreed whole hog! Lawns are good for exactly dick, except raising and perpetuating Japanese Beetles, my all time nemesis.
I wouldn't have a lawn if I didn't belong to a condo assn.
Still, every year, that lawn gets smaller and smaller, while my prairie gets bigger and bigger.
Frog in a skillet.

@Leafhead Oh no! Lawn is nowhere near as good as "dick!" 😉

Keep shrinking that lawn! Stupid condo associations!

@MikeInBatonRouge
Actually, as far as condo assns go, this one ain't half bad. They give me carte blanch on groundskeeping, save a ton on maintainance, and even pay me a small stipend for my work.
It's win-win
And of course, I use NO pe sticides!

@Leafhead I stand corrected. Just "stupid association lawn rule." Maybe that rule is based on a non-gardener assumption that generally whatever takes the place of a lawn is an eye sore.

I live in a small house with a medium lot now. When I moved here there was one tree. One! Now I have two redbuds in the front and back, a dogwood on the side, four spirea near the house and an oakleaf hydrangea. Along with other assorted butterfly plants. I hope to be rid of the lawn completely in a couple years. Or five : )

Posted by KateOahuI saw some pretty flowers on a walk today. I’d never seen a white Hibiscus before. And I do not know what the pink flowers are.

Posted by FrostyJimI usually drink coffee while planting seeds?

Posted by KilltheskyfairyI love all the information on the internet that makes me a better gardener…

Posted by Jaylo64Primative hydroponic system /an old shoe rack and coffee cans ! Cans above drip into the cans below !

Posted by 1patriotOne of the main reasons for last year’s ‘spike’, which the media and government agencies have avoided mentioning, is the Hunga Tonga volcano eruption two years ago.

Posted by FrostyJim...sometimes you just can't help it?

Posted by FrostyJimI got my first seed order in the mail yesterday! WOO-HOO!
