I have been experimenting with low growing thyme. I am a klutz in the garden, so I have to plant things I accidently step on that will pop right back up.
I have very little shade in this garden so anything I plant has to be very heat tolerant and since my winter night temps are always below freezing, the plants I select also have to be cold tolerant. I have dry heat which causes many plants to just fry.
I too am looking for plants that I can manage with my older body.
Smiles,
Lyn
