Also, I want a trampoline, nice patio set complete with umbrella, and a pool (as long as we're daydreaming!)Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17188323475355990457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3683406532304190954.post-88931115105859148822011-05-17T17:36:57.023-07:002011-05-17T17:36:57.023-07:00I want to travel too!

I got a book at the library on gardening here and its really helped. It recommends more drought resistant plants etc and plants that do well in Texas but are not native to the area.<br /><br />Also, friends gave us cuttings off of their plants, so we could grow the same thing in our yard. That way it was less expensive. I grew the transplants in pots and then planted them in the yard!<br /><br />Finally, they have gravel and rocks at the store. You might want to consider lots of rocks and gravel paths mixed in with plants. That way you don't have to water so much. Grass requires SO MUCH watering, and I feel like we never have time to water the yard.<br /><br />Finally, a soaker hose (about $14) is a great way to water your plants. The water goes straight from the hose into the soil, so you don't waste it. You leave the hose going for an hour, which lets you do other things. This is ideal as long as your dog won't chew the hose.<br /><br />LOL. I'll mail you some pictures of my garden - as you can see I am getting more and more into it.<br /><br />Miss ya!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10868549560985123830noreply@blogger.com
