I agree with the ground cover in the lawn if you can't take care of the grass. It gives a more cottage and vintage look to the garden.

thank you !! i feel happy ..after spending hours in the hot sun the garden looks good to someone other than myself !! i do what i can . i think the pergola will hopefully get covered .. the inital plan was planting different coloured flower vines to climb and have them in straight lines so you could see different types of flowers when u sit under it ! but the raat ke rani seems to have made plans to take over !!the alamanda is lost under it and the other vines are really slow at climbing !! maybe in another year it might start looking the way i would like it to .
i really have given up on the grass, every now and then someone says to try american grass and im like hmmm i could but i really dont want to ! i think differnet ground covers will be more fun .
