Thank you both. I've been working on it for 19 yrs. When we first moved out here it was just a lawn and very few trees. The lawn started dying the following year no matter what we did to save it so DH suggested we take it out and make it a flower garden. Upon removing the grass we discovered why it was dying, the crazy old people that lived here had sod put down which would have been ok if they hadn't put black PLASTIC down under it to keep the Cottonwood suckers and weeds out. l like the flowers better anyway. Here's another angle.
l spend as much time outside in the summer that's physically possible. l even spend time out at night.
