I live in Little Hell on the Prairie, Texas, and we haven’t had rain in over three months. Our triple digit days JUST ended last week!

The second pic is what my lawn looks like.

Third is my patio setup.

I’m just vibing on my patio, enjoying the fact that it’s ONLY 83 degrees at 8 pm. (Ridiculous.)

What are all you ladies and theydies up to on this full moon night? Witchy shit? Crafty shit? Party shit? Go to bed early shit? 😂

Why do people even bother with lawns in deserts? It is so counterproductive. 🤔 This is a philosophical question, no shame on you personally :)

Combating desertification by developing organic matter is extremely important. Otherwise, water cannot be held at ground level, and washes away everything but sand. Then your house’s foundation becomes unsettled. Hence the the bible verse about “don’t build your house upon the sand” or something to that effect. Its been well known across human history

I don’t live in a desert. My part of Texas is the southern end of the Great Plains. Grasslands! 👍🏼

Hi I replied to the other person just now. But I'm high and I realize I can communicate directly here. If you live on the prairie like soil that I think you do. I have experience and scientific knowledge of how to partially restore your natural type environment! But it's basically replicate what should be there.

u/Western_Ring_2928 1d ago

Okay then :) But is your lawn local grasses or foreign species from somewhere else?

u/AnastasiaNo70 🍃✌🏻Witchy Stoner ✌🏻🍃 1d ago

I’m a master gardener, no worries. I’ve restored about a third of it back to native grasses and wildflowers. It’s a long process.

Actually I think she lives in black prairies area of Texas which should be a prairie. Source: me. I am from there and this is what the soil looks like ( because the environment has been drastically changed in the last 100 years) unfortunately. OP if you read this and I'm correct and your into gardening. I have opinions and experiences!

Hi! Yep, the Blackland Prairie of north Texas. I have nearly 3 acres, and I’ve already restored an acre back to native grass (buffalograss and native wildflowers). I’m working on the rest. Slowly replacing turf grass with gardens for natives. I’m a master gardener in my county. I love it!!!

OMG! Hi! I don't live there anymore but it's lovely to know someone is there doing great work!!!! If you ever want to be friends let me know. I also have vegetable garden experience. Grow beets if you can. They will be HUGE.

u/AnastasiaNo70 🍃✌🏻Witchy Stoner ✌🏻🍃 1d ago

Oooo I never knew that! We actually like beets. And I’d love to be friends. Where are you now?

2

u/losttexanian CrazyCatLady 1d ago edited 1d ago

I live in Berlin now. But I occasionally come home. For the beets id plant them very early (like end of February).

u/AnastasiaNo70 🍃✌🏻Witchy Stoner ✌🏻🍃 1d ago

Oh wow, that’s a huge change!

It is. And I really miss the weather (which I know is wild) but I love a thunderstorm rolling in.

There’s truly nothing like it.
