Our back yard is nothing to write home about but right now it is covered in english daisys!! I don't know why people want lush green lawns that are so toxic to the earth and take a lot of time and effort to look after. I was reading an article in a magazine that said home owners use more chemicals and fertilzer (not to mention water) on their lawns than we use in agriculture. Thats tremendous considering the run off from farms along the Mississippi causes a dead zone in the Gulf of Mexico every summer that is 8,500 sq. miles. I just read that in a kids book called Oceans Atlas. We as individuals can make a difference!! Besides food and flowers are useful!!
