Had a lot of catching up to do to get current on this thread...Good job everyone...I love the look of Dianne's front lawn..I find it so hard to believe that folks (mostly men, sorry guys) love the big green field of a lawn..Sad to say that is what mine is but I yield to the mighty mower and have beds scattered around the perimeter..Now if I lived in a neighborhood I would have a front lawn just like that. Maybe the plants would be different because of locale bu tit would be similar..
