When we lived in Westmont my husband didn't want to cut a large lawn in the front, so I planted a lot of plants, shrubs and groundcover. It looked nice, but the groundcover started taking over and choking off everything else in the garden. Where we live now we stuck to the lawn (and small garden) and he got a riding lawnmower!LBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07023427375867309963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-91391780052125906322016-08-10T09:05:42.968-05:002016-08-10T09:05:42.968-05:00Personally, I try to be a good citizen and put up ...Personally, I try to be a good citizen and put up with a few seconds of clicking as the price of reading Neil's column for free.
