Don Young is Cool - Xeriscaping in the ‘burbs

August 29th, 2006 · No Comments ·

Watching Fox 4 news tonight, I enjoyed a piece about the fines levied against local man Don Young. A neighbor was complaining about Mr. Young’s yard “I spend $300 a month to keep my yard moist!” while his yard was tall local plants/weeds.  The best part of the segment was the homemade sign in Mr. Young’s yard: “Botanical research.  Do not mow.”  I’m thinking about putting one of those signs up in my yard except we’ve had such little rain, not even weeds are growing.  I can’t believe the neighbor wasn’t fined for her high water bill. What a waste of a natural resource: keeping the yard “moist.”
