Taking Shape

Completing our landscaping plan for the new house will be a multi-year effort. This season, Jeanine and I focused on the small (brown) patch beneath the driveway turnaround and to the right of the garage. Over the last week, we have planted or replanted more than 100 Sedge Grass and Prairie Dropseed Grass plants in an offset grid pattern surrounding smaller randomly placed plants from last year. In a few years, this whole area will be a mass of green with no earth showing, or at least, that is our expectation. Time will tell. The clover “lawn” we planted on the left side of the house has filled in beautifully in just one season, so there is reason for optimism.
