Moving along with drought-tolerant planting and pots and a new electric lawn mower. We planted a reverse flower bed. While most plant along the fence or border, we bordered the patio where grass wasn't growing and instant wow when you walk out the back door. Also found that that area was where the HOA sprinkler head is, giving the planted area the advantage of water whenever the HOA decides, even though its only fir 5 mins. We'll take it!
