    I am working on my drought resistant backyard garden and enjoying my front yard drought resistant garden that was finished in 2014, like Joan Fish's.  No more grass here!  My summer vegetable garden is still flourishing, and Ramon will plant a fall/winter garden for anyone who would like to have one!
