I love this idea. I had no idea blueberry bushes could stay so small. Thanks!

Honest to god, my brother works in locksmithing. I moved states and needed to get a copy of the old house key to my realtor ASAP and did not want to travel or mail it - took a picture for my brother and he was able to make a working key with just the photo.

I usually put a smaller container with drainage holes into pots like these. Enjoy the decorative look without worrying about root rot.

I honestly try not to think about it, but I'm certain I'll see negative health effects in the distant future. :(

I'm nervous of the maintenance of rock. I know that sounds silly because rocks lol but I have several large leafy trees and the little rock area I have now always gets matted with leaves no matter how hard I try to keep them out!

Oh that is very pretty! I'm worried my area might be too dry for this plant. Only way to find out is to try it!

What to do with strip of land between driveway and neighbor? (lemm.ee)
 

I own this 1 ft wide, 30 ft long strip between my driveway and the neighbor's property. It's steeply angled the whole length due to my pavement being higher than the neighbor's yard. Grass turf would be difficult and awkward to trim in this location. I would prefer to plant something native and perennial that won't invade the neighbor's lawn. Ideas so far is dwarf ornamental grasses (likely not native), sun tolerant hostas (not native), maybe coneflower. Any ideas?? Midwest US Zone 5, dryish soil and sunny with some late afternoon shade.
