Re: More pets in the garden!

Re: Part II -- It's Like Road Rage, Only Wetter

I only wish my neighbor would read this. The San Francisco Bay Area is in the middle of a drought and she waters her post-stamp sized lawn 30 minutes, twice a day, then washes down her driveway, sidewalk, porch and her half of the road (yes, that's right - the asphalt road in which cars drive on) daily. Drives me bonkers. I come home to a river forming in my road and just want to scream. Maybe I should print this out and tape it to her door.

Thanks for the tip on the buffalo grass. I will admit to having front lawn and want to replace it with something that's more suitable.
