We pretty much let Nature take its course. Since we live in the woods, this works very well. We grow no vegetables. Plants go into pots. We do have some grass down near the road. When we put in the seeds 28 years ago, we said, "Good luck," because we had no intention of coddling them. Therefore, they grew hardy. We have green grass all year round. I think benign neglect works! Our neighbors, who have watered, fertilized and tended their lawns always have brown grass during the heat of summer and often during the winter, depending upon what type of grass seed or sod they installed. I once planted some daff bulbs and they pop up like clockwork every Spring.

Hey, Brian, glad to hear the possum babies are doing well.
