I live at the beach in NC. I'm not ocean front but the soil is still very sandy. We live in an area with mostly old folks who are retired and outside planting new flowers all the time. The homeowners association does all the grass mowing but the flower beds are up to us. And we are constantly getting dirty looks and comments about how bad our bed looks.
I am possibly the worst gardner known to man. My mother could kill everything and I inherited her ability with my fathers complete disinterest. I can't tell the difference between flower and weed. I want to find something that will grow in the sandy soil, that blooms most of the summer, and that requires lil maintance. It can be tree, bush, vine whatever--as long as its low maintenance. I can water about once a week. And maybe monthly I'll go out there and (deadhead, or add a fertiziler stick, or whatever one does). But you better spell it out for me if you don't want it to die.
Suggestions? Anything will be appreciated!!
