The Grass is Always Greener...

...In my backyard! I have been an absentee blogger.  Sorry.  I am not sure why I blog in spurts, but after a while of not blogging, I want to blog.  So, here I am, making up for lost time.

As you know, we were trying to grow grass in our backyard.  I will say we were very successful for the first year!  It took lots and lots of watering (every night, 5 spots, 15 to 20 minutes per spot), a little anxious re-seeding by hand when I didn't think anything was growing, and lots of waiting.  There is definitely some patchiness and a long run of no grass where we ran Grouper,  and we do have a nice little brown spot where we let the grass grow too long before watering.  Oops.  But, overall, I will take it any day of the week.

Take a peek.

 And, in case you don't remember what we started with ... look at how horribly brown it was after we got rid of the all the moss!
