Day 15: clover.
To get something to grow in my front lawn so that the rain doesn't wash all the ground away, I planted clover a week or two ago. Now there are little green dots showing up in the bare patches. They're pretty. They're growing where the grass won't. But within some of the bare patches, the clover seeds have been washed to one side by the rain before they took root. I may have to reseed those spots and hope.
Last year, the rain here has occasionally been intense enough to wash some of the grass out of the ground. I'm hoping clover will reduce the impact of the drops a little better, and that it has better roots. We will see.
