That's the problem, nothing has taken over. It's just bare cracked clay because the soil is gone. My target for seeding is white clover, which technically isn't local but it's been around so long it might as well be. I can't let things grow too long unless I want to check for ticks every time I go outside. Clover seems to be a nice compromise. I've long ago given up the fight against dandelions, much to the neighbors' chagrin.

The yard is unfortunately pretty far down the priority list, which is annoying because it's probably one of the more satisfying projects once it's stabilized. But lack of funds and spoons dictates the effort must go elsewhere.
