Judging from the rest of the yard, it appears they were in fact 'non gardeners'. The back of the property drops "rapidly" & steep down to the Broad River and we are trying to pick some ground covers for there. Hubby says he will clear it and make a path, with some steps.... (aahhhh) ending with a cozy little gazebo on the water.... but I'm not holding my breath. Anybody got suggestions for ground cover when watering & maintenance isn't very practical. It get full morning sun but is mostly shaded in the afternoon. I've thought of juniper & some wildflowers. ???
