L and I decided to take the Dallas Water-Wise Landscape Tour yesterday to check out some local Coppell gardens. The event was free and we observed some great plants and met with the homeowners to discuss how to use water wisely. The tour reminded us that we definitely need to mulch our beds and try to generate a smaller water bill this year. Not only is it easier on our wallets and saving one of most precious commodities, but it will also spare us from the mosquito plague we’ve encountered lately. Off spray is my friend.

Thanks to one of the garden owners, I also scored a free plant. She said to give the Four-Nerve daisy, aka Angelita, a try in our garden.
