Asymmetry is what it's all about. (Meaning, I have no sense of design. I just start digging.) The front yard, which is not especially photogenic as far as what people think photogenic is, has the distinction, if you want to call it that, of probably being the driest garden in North America. Not even 3/4 of an inch (1.52cm) of precipitation from July 5 to the end of the year, and no watering. (No earthworms, either.) Xeriscapers mostly seem to loathe it. The No Smoking sign goes up about the middle of July. There's a picture of Penstemon grandiflorus growing in the driveway; that's my crevice garden .... Bob Nold
