Where I live it doesn't rain during the summer so we put in mostly drought-tolerant plants that attract bees, butterflies and hummingbirds (lavenders and salvias). Though we couldn't resist adding a few roses. I also sneak in herbs here and there (basil, thyme, oregano). Though the garden is still evolving, the overall effect is quite pretty and all the plants use less water than the boring lawn! So I'm giving your decision two thumbs up!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5701097386033513768.post-2485117396746987242013-03-23T15:06:11.808+00:002013-03-23T15:06:11.808+00:00I have just resolved to sort out the rest of our g...I have just resolved to sort out the rest of our garden, prompted by the wind nearly blowing our fence down!

There are low growing sedges and heathers, every option needs a little attention, even concrete has to be swept and washed at times. Good luck with the weather, i am still waiting for my bog to dry out before I start.

Just because I love meadows. <br />There are seed mixes available. <br />I think, even meadows need a little work - some need mowing once or twice a year - but maybe you could even pay some farm worker do that, if you don't want to (it's great exercise, too), and I think your wooden deck would look just wonderful surrounded by poppies, daisies and chicory.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5701097386033513768.post-68296932705444220952013-03-23T09:29:44.809+00:002013-03-23T09:29:44.809+00:00love your posts claire,your garden is so cute ,and...love your posts claire,your garden is so cute ,and it looks easy to maintain ,i would be tempted to keep the grassxjonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5701097386033513768.post-52670134052814794272013-03-23T05:03:57.928+00:002013-03-23T05:03:57.928+00:00Thank you so much.

Hope you find a simple solution xoClaire/Just a little lesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14030696365673329064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5701097386033513768.post-19558161716971036182013-03-22T22:18:36.773+00:002013-03-22T22:18:36.773+00:00Your Diet Coke abstinence is very impressive!Your Diet Coke abstinence is very impressive!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5701097386033513768.post-56923040228076983682013-03-22T22:03:05.091+00:002013-03-22T22:03:05.091+00:00so positive you so inspire me, I am going to a wed...so positive you so inspire me, I am going to a wedding in 3 weeks and I am so tempted to buy new but my budget doesnt extend to it , any suggestions ?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5701097386033513768.post-28222839024824600782013-03-22T20:41:23.021+00:002013-03-22T20:41:23.021+00:00When taking my son to play group this morning, I n...When taking my son to play group this morning, I noticed a house with artificial grass laid on their front garden and it looked very realistic!
