We have never watered our lawn! We don't really have a lawn where we live now; just mowed areas to play catch in. We maintain a variety of habitats to suit the most wildlife. Lawns are mostly useless monocultures that people put too much poison and water into. Sigh.

I wish more people realized you can just mow whatever's growing for a play area. It's amazing to me how many people maintain lawn (including all the biocides) specifically so their kids have a place to play.

I don’t think I’ve watered my flower garden at all this year, except for some of the new plants. I’ve got a lot of native flowers and other recommended plants that handle dry spells well.
