A Drought-Tolerant Yard
Enjoy the beauty of a drought-tolerant yard and gardens.by Kathy Van Mullekom, a lifelong gardener and gardening writer living in York County, VirginiaWhen husband Ken and I lived in the Kiln Creek area of Newport News, we had a fescue lawn that an underground irrigation system kept lush and green. Ken loved that watering system. Many evenings, he and neighborhood men stood in the street, admiring each other’s lawn and comparing notes on who had the greenest lawn. I used to chuckle at their manly competition.
