LAWN AND GARDEN?

This place we have purchased doesn't look too promising lawn and garden wise.  

 

 

I'm looking around for any perennials that might come up from previous owners.  

 

I don't see much.  Even the lawn is more moss than grass. 

Dan had to give up on fixing up the old lawn mower and we bought a new one, in hopes of grass someday.  I see a few things here and there that might develop, but right now it is a wait and see game.  

I know I would like to have some decorative trees and shrubs, some perennials and certain berry trees, etc., to attract the migrating birds.  But at my age I don't want anything that is high maintenance.  I'm willing to put the work in, to plant things once, but after that it lives or dies on it's own.  

In the last house we had on Henderson Highway, I became obsessed with my gardens and kept adding to them every year.  It got to the point that I was a slave to those gardens and that was probably part of the reason I was willing to sell the place and go into a condo.    

SO I WON'T MAKE THAT MISTAKE AGAIN!
