David, I love all the tropicals and succulents. Living on the edge of a temperate rain forest limits that variety of plants. We only have grass in a little orchard area so I really appreciate seeing your paths open up onto what looks like a little grassy glade.
When we got Doberman Pinchers (we are on the second generation) our grass started disappearing and I started laying pavers over the barren sections. Then about six years ago I started becoming abscessed with making garden beds. The dogs constant playing and patrolling the yard eventually led to lots of bark mulched paths, and no grass. My abscession is on going. Where to put the next plant? How to fit veggies into a shaded yard?
I am currently working on Huglekultur beds for veggies where the filberts once were. Having created it this spring (the day after I discovered the process
)and planted it before it was properly settled has led to some interesting challenges.
but I am learning as I go.
