Some photos of my #SidewalkStrip, between the sidewalk and the road. The south half is pretty well established, though I am still adding things in the bare spots. On the north half, I'm pulling off the landscape fabric I used to kill the well-establish perennial weeds, adding squeegee (the tiny gravel), and starting to add plants. There is a young oak tree on the north half, planted and maintained by the city, so I have to look for plants that can cope with dry shade.

My #SidewalkStrip is looking lively!

We got a little rain and a double rainbow.

This is how my #SidewalkStrip looks after four days of 99-103 degrees F. The agastache in the lower right corner is looking stressed, but the garden as a whole is thriving.

This is one of the plants I got in a #GardenInABox from #ResourceCentral this spring and planted in my #SidewalkStrip

My sidewalk strip. It slopes enough to be hard to mow, back when it was all weeds and weedy grass. I covered it with landscape fabric and added a few plants, planning to add a few more every year, but the landscape fabric disintegrates into plastic shreds. SO after a few years I pulled it up and added a lot of native plants and random rocks.
