In north central Texas. My landscape has suffered severe neglect for 6 years as I struggled with an ever increasing bad knee. Thank goodness for retirement this year. Had that knee replaced in February this year and now in the process of overcoming those years of landscape neglect. Going back with a lot of yucca, agave, dasylirion and nolina. Choosing plants that will laugh at our torrid summers and annual droughts.

Welcome! Good to know your knee surgery will allow you to comfortably resume your gardening. I look forward to seeing how you resurrect it.

BTW, I suggest that you update your profile with your location. It will keep members from always asking where you live.

Welcome! As a result of one TKR, I went from struggling to reach my mailbox to 10-mile big elevation gain hikes within a year. I was out hiking around three weeks after the surgery, and I swear that was the ONLY time it didn't hurt for the first few months.

My landscape is always in a state of flux. Today I added 3 D. wheeleri to fill in the larger empty spots. I have 5 big ones and 3 1 gallon ones that can't be seen. 3 Y. rostrata and 2 Y. schottii a Y. faxoniana and some other misc plants.

Ignore the invading Bermuda grass. That's next.
