[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am one of those gardeners whose garden will give fits to whomever buys my house someday. Everything needs to be pruned, weeding needs to happen weekly or the place looks very unkempt. And what I would say to that future home owner - go for it. Rip it out. Put in sod. Do what makes you happy and looks nice to you. The garden was was made me happy, and that is why I did it. [b]A plant is only a plant - you eat plants every day - there is nothing sacred about a boxwood or a peony that isn't also sacred about a head of lettuce[/b].[/quote] Except that there are plants that actually provide a benefit to wildlife, which lettuce and certainly grass don't. And that grass, in order to look good, requires the use of chemicals that end up in the watersheds, while gardens can reduce runoff and don't require those chemicals. Just saying, otherwise I agree with you that OP should just do what makes her enjoy and not dread her outdoor space.[/quote]
