Greetings! I've been slowly working the yard for about 3 years now. The latest trial was broadcasting some random grass seeds. I share a household, I'm not the one who did it and couldn't tell you all of what had grown and recently, seen the end of its time.
So! My turn. I would like to plant something that flowers but doesn't need full sun. I'm located in LA, on the west coast. It's going to get pretty dry and hot in the next couple of months, and would like to know what you think would be the most beneficial thing to plant? Pollinator plants, nitrogen fixers, succulents? Preferably something edible. Which and what would work best? The area is about 11ft x 7ft.
I try to water every 3-4 days, but am thinking about installing drip irrigation lines so I can turn it on, get ready for work, and turn it off before I leave. Should I ask for recommendations here or on another category?
