Unfortunately, we continue to have watering restrictions here in our area. This spring, we have had very little rain, putting a strain on our lawns and our landscaping. Throughout our neighborhood I can see that certain types of grasses have "given up the ghost," while others seem to thrive. Water shortage is a very serious matter and the city has a "water patrol" department to see that the citizenry cooperates by watering one day a week. Having dealt with this problem for quite a few years now, we've learned a lot about "Zero Landscaping." Some of our plants require very little water and seem to thrive in extreme conditions. I've posted our Snow Bushes before, but they are worth taking another look......gorgeous shades of pink, they continue to make a beautiful showing.
