RE: Progress on the garden wall

Buffalo grass is native, needs no watering or mowing and - get this - it
LOVES clay soil. Nothing else would stand up to the constant foot
traffic between the beds. I would also put more hardscaping in - paths
and such. We'll see if anything comes back in Spring. If we don't get
our Spring rains (like we missed the Fall) I won't be planting much of
anything this year. Lakes are so low now you can just about walk across
them. Sad.
