Reading the posting by Julienne and her idgit neighbors reminded me of my situation. We bought a house 2 yrs ago Nov. The homeowners' association has us locked into a lawn for the front yard with a sad pine. My side front yard i am planting with natives, but now that we cut down one of the trees, my neighbor is trying to get his grass to grow and waters the h out of it, so much of my side yard is moist. I live in Chino- sort of coastal sage scrub, oak woodland and valley grassland. However, because of the lawn watering I think I may need to plant riparian plants by the fence. I have wild rose, carpenteria. manzanita and coyote mint there now, in partial shade. The part by the fence gets mostly full sun. I am going to plant a hollyleaf cherry when we get rid of the stump of the tree we cut down. By the way, none of these plants bloomed this year. Can it be a soil deficiency or are they still too young?</p>
