A Nutty Mom

Before you plant anything, you must have a plan what you want and what you want the garden to do for you in terms of appearance, privacy, shade etc. Of course, some people want to have a large expanse of grass, but grass must be maintained – mowing, edge, food and water, lots of water, should be considered.
