I think it was Bermuda Grass that ruined my hands, years ago. We've had so little rain here and it doesn't look like we'll be getting any rescue for the rest of what remains of our 'winter'...so I'm finally digging up some things and letting a lot of what was formerly 'garden' revert back to brown grass in summer. I'm putting together my 'Ark'...two of everything to go into pots in the hopes that if we leave, it wil be to some place that gets rain and the water bills don't keep jumping astronomically....9-12" of rain per year just doesn't make it anymore. For years I justified $200-300 a month bills in summer, but no more. I can think of so many other things now to do with that money...like EAT.
