Home with a migraine today. Pain has gone but can still feel it. Channeling the need to keep hands busy by cleaning, servicing & sharpening my secateurs. A task I do a lot less often than I should. Surprisingly meditative. #nzgarden π±

#nzgarden a question for you all

I have a strip of land which is pretty rarely used. It's roughly about the width of a car and has grass on it. I am tired of mowing this grass and want to replace it with something that's going to look good, doesn't need to be mowed, doesn't grow taller than mowed grass but can be walked.
#NZGarden what is eating my mint plants and how do I get rid of them? I don't see any bugs anywhere.
