Yea, I've done the seed thing before, but unless you start them inside in February, there is no color until the fall. I probably spend at least $250 a year in annuals, but the yard really looks nice.

Got to get my tomato plants in the ground and growing. Drove 12 miles to my favorite farm stand yesterday that grows their own hot house tomatoes during the winter. Boy are they good, but $9.65 for 5 tomatoes is a little expensive.

Star thistle - no thanks. I'm about to rip out the first foot of grass next to the street to "try" to eliminate the crab grass. Got to plant an extremely heat tolerant grass. The black tar really heats up and drys out that narrow strip next to the street, and crab grass loves that heat.
