Parkway replantings are go!


On August 11, ity council okayed changed to the municipal code to allow residents to plant dought-resistant plants in public parkways between the curb and sidewalk. Gosh, I never knew it was previously prohibited. Chalk up another one to procrastination. Anyway, the time looks right for me. My next door neighbor is selling her house (boo hoo) so it would be good to have the redesign underway before someone new moves in. Also, my compose pile is in desperate need of emptying. Now I'll have to refer to my previous parkway blog to refresh my memory on plant possibilities--decomposed granite, snow in summer and Tom Thumb flax. Okay, gang, get out those blunt end shovels!
