Well Lisa, our "estate" is one acre, so it would allow for a large victory garden, but unfortunately, in a community with unbridled billboards (my pet peeve), we are required by ordinance to maintain the lawns. As Zsa Zsa said "I get allergic smelling hay"

However, I've taken up the practice of letting it go dormant in the drought to minimize maintenance.

If it's any consolation, my condo in Bloomington is a designated natural habitat. We wrap around this pond
