Hi Susan,
Grass is neither good nor bad — it’s how we use it that makes it so. Unfortunately, most gardens have too much of a potentially good thing. For examples, see http://loisdevries.blogspot.com/search/label/Lawn%2FGrass

I’m with you sister. Lawns are not evil, they are plants too! The problem is that most people don’t know how to properly care for a lawn and end up over-watering, over fertilizing and improperly mowing it.

We moved to northern California six months ago. We are relieved to see that people do not water their lawns at all here in the summer months. We have a rainy season here in the winter months, so lawns are naturally green in winter. The entire county does not water lawns in summer, so it doesn’t look out of place. Tons of wild flowers bloom all summer and gardens have lots of flowers too. The fog and ocsional summer showers water the flowers. An environmentally friendly place to llive indeed.

I think the most important thing about lawns is to stay away from pesticides. Otherwise you lose carnivorous wildlife such as bluebirds and mocking birds. And of course never irrigate or you will be flushing nutrient pollution into the local waterway.

I am honored. I just hit the Garden Rant link…I think! I wondered why I couldn’t access this from your other site! That last sentence is Greek to me! LOL!
