That's why I suggested peanut plant. You mow only once every 4-5 weeks on the highest mower setting to maintain the height of weeds - no weedkiller necessary. It's a low-growing grass alternative that's Florida friendly and drought-resistant. It only needs around an inch of water every week, total, including rain. During dry season you could water it for 15 minutes twice a week and it'll be fine.

Good luck on getting an answer. Some love to tell others how to live but avoid sharing details on their own decisions.

6 months and only one regret. I regret I'm still working (albeit remotely). This too shall pass.

I'm loving being in the middle of a boatload of golf courses generally, and 2 minutes from Palmer specifically. I suppose I wouldn't mind finding a regular golf partner or group, but I'm sure that'll happen eventually.
