At our new house n Onion Creek, we have acquired a huge front lawn of, yes - St. Augustine grass. this summer, we noticed a triangular patch near the front sidewalk that looked very bad. It got too much sun and not enough water from the auto sprinkler system. So Bill, the ham-fisted handyman, ripped out the weedy sod, dug up the area, added sand and compost, and carefully planted the plants that Whitney and I experienced great enjoyment choosing and bringing home. We hope this area flourishes in full sun, and demands little water after getting established. I will admit, I sneaked a few rose bushes into the left side. But they are antique roses and will do well with neglect. Amazon, Mutabalis, and St. Charles. I'm excited to have rose buses again. Bill's favorite is the blue twist yucca.
