I've been fixing one small section at a time. Maybe this weekend I'll tackle the corner where the random pile of plumeria trees are parked in the dead flowerbed. I'm thinking I can leave the pots, yank the weeds and surround 'em with some kind of fancy grass.
Ooooo.. pretty. And in a range of obnoxious colors, too. :D
Do you know if they're drought-resistant? I'm trying replace the dead stuff using low water plants that won't shrivel and die in 100+ degree heat. The daylilies would look nice in my dead flowerbeds, but whatever goes in there needs to be pretty *and* tough.
Absolutely. If it's really bad, water them (only at night though, to avoid leaf scald) but normally they're resistant to flood, drought, frickin alien abduction... you name it.
Talk to hypnobella. Tell her you're my friend and Coleman's wife, she met him doing that silly photoshoot thing for True Blood. She's a landscaper that lives right near you and has a low water yard, and she likes getting to talk to her friends about plants. :) Her name is Rachel.

(BTW, I'm pretty sure you've got sweet alyssum there, not baby's breath.)
