  3. Maybe when we ever get this place of ours 'landscaped".....have only been on it for 2 1/2 years.......I will plant some of these. Low maintenance I believe??

    we own 1/4 section.....lease out some for cows, and some for crops. I want to concentrate on that "portion" I hope to call my Yard.
