Hoosier looking for a facelift.....

To my small backyard & smaller frontyard,lol. The plan is to replace the fledglingly growing grass with a mixture of wildgrasses,flowers & plants,maybe a scrub or two as well.Don't let the name full you,I aspire to be a green thumb,I'm very much a novice thats why I joined this forum to "Unlearn What I have learned!"(HaHa) Any help from the experts here is appreciated. Looking forward to getting to know my fellow backyard gardeners. Until then I wish you <3,Peace & Soul,lol.:)
