I forgot to check back on this thread. Thanks so much for your list of plants! I've only studied about half of them, so as you can see I'm still a horticultural n00b
We've been working with a lot of california natives and draught tolerant varieties. As you may know, California tends to have water shortages periodically so draught resistant plants tend to be popular. Of course, everywhere you look there are big, green, water-hungry lawns. Boo.
Anyway, thanks for the info!! I'll probably have questions for you at some point![/DIV]
[FONT color=#c00000]Question away whenever you like, but at present I'd be even more glad of some physical help - at this time of year the garden reaches its peak, and you start to get the feeling that if you're not trying to control it 24 hours per day you may as well give up. Same thing happens every May, new life burgeoning in every square inch and simultaneously old life needing cutting down. All this though is made easier by the hatching out of some blackbirds in one of the bushes, it means I have an excuse to pause every so often to have a look at what's going on.[/FONT]
