My poor yard – during our drought I watered my flowers and shrubs but not the grass. Thought it would be fine… Nope! It's spring now and literally just peeling away. It's not a big yard – took me 4 hours to pull the grass, and I put all the soil/dead grass into a compost heap. There's probably a smarter way to do this but this was fine (and my kids thought it was excellent fun).
So I figured I'd use the opportunity to grow a clover garden with some flowers as well – why not? I know it's the wrong time to plant clover, but I don't know what else to do. Anyone got any advice or success stories on spring planting clovers? Zone 7, should be safe from frost now.

I’d look into native plant nurseries in your area and see if you can get some seeds or plants from them instead of trying to just replace grass with clover. There might even be some local non profits giving away native plants for free
Native plant nurseries and make a walkway out of rocks between groups of plants that go together.
