I live in LA county and I have baby's tears encroaching in my
nice green tall fescue (Marathon) lawn. Unless you want baby's
tears everywhere, I wouldn't recommend them. I suppose dichondra,
being sort of a weed itself, might outcompete the tears, but
as for myself, I can't get rid of them, winter or summer.
