My father used to dig things up in the woods and plant them in his garden. Unfortunately for human harmony, his next door neighbor was a serious horticulturist, and the wind came along……
ewalnut: Try Edward Fritz v City of Dallas. Ned put a climax short grass prairie in his front yard. It is green in spring and summer, bronze in fall, and like all other yards in winter. Dallas called it weeds. Ned was an environmental lawyer and argued that the prairie was what was originally there, that anything else was a weed since it didn’t belong, and that was the no-mow yard he wanted. He won the case, but City did make him hide it behind a hedge. I notice that there are more hedged yards in his block now.
I just got zapped for an untidy plot in the community garden. I found three clumps of dallis grass, which I removed. I had planted everything close together, crowding out the Bermuda grass that was invading other gardens, especially the one next to mine. I think I won that case too. We will see if others use my technique next year. Ned would be proud.

You’re being too polite, Opal. That’s enough fertilizer for thousands of weed beds.

I see what Opal sees. If he wants a no-care yard, grass is the wrong thing to be growing.
