About sound garden landscaping

Come September the cottonwoods in Wheatland's shelterbelts start talking — that dry, papery rustle the wind pulls out of them right up to first frost. Under them, sound garden landscaping does its work: beds shaped and planted, mowing and trimming while the grass still wants it, and the fall cleanups that get a yard ready for cold that arrives off the open plain without much warning. Planting at this elevation is an argument with wind and thin soil, and the answer is choosing well and setting things where they'll hold. The best days end with the borders redrawn, the turf short and even, the beds turned dark and neat against the pale grass past the fence line. Wheatland yards mostly, plus the places out toward Uva, Bordeaux and Chugwater.
