agave death bloom on the median at preston and park

seems to be in its middle stages of the bloom, not crazy tall yet. the agave is certainly between 10-30 years old, what a great sight to see on a random stretch of road.

Low maintenance lawn options?

Hi all! We are renters in oak cliff and looking for a gas’s alternative. I love the idea of a clover lawn but I’ve had trouble finding a definitive answer on the ethics of planting a non-native clover variety as ground coverage. Right now, our lawn is overrun by massive painful sticker burrs and I’m desperate to throw something else down to fight with it. I hate the idea of grass that needs to be watered as I’m aggressive to pretty much all grass (including the burrs we have. Each prick swells and burns like crazy) but we do have a sprinkler system, so whatever we plant will get plenty of water. Looking for any ideas for low maintenance that will fight with the grass we have now. Since we’re renting and only here for two more years, I’m not the most devoted. Right now our backyard is super lush st Augustine which we’ve never given much thought to (and I am allergic to) but damn if I don’t hate how nice it looks…. Not a single weed in sight somehow, though we’ve killed about half of it without our garden lol! Anyways… If anyone has ideas for low maintenance options I can lowkey guerrilla garden on to our front lawn pls give me advice! I’m so sick of the sticker burrs!!!! FUCK A STICKER BURR!
