Re: Book Give-Away: Beautiful No-Mow Yards, by Evelyn J. Hadden

Sounds like a wonderful book! My kind of gardening which I need to further "develop". My only hesitation in entering this contest is that I'm not sure I can wait to hear who won - want to order the book now.

Re: Welcome to Cool Green Gardens - A view from the Left Coast

I too am excited about this topic, and looking forward to more photos, combos and web sites. I am in SW MO, and have a sloping front yard, mostly shaded by tall skinny white oaks that leave a million leaves from fall thru late spring. I have been trying to decide what to do to eliminate a relatively small lawn that will still satisfy the suburban neighbor and make my lot unique.

OK, I'm not a humorist but loved reading all the posts. Maybe I'll learn to loosen up.
