I replanted the 2nd section of grass seed that didn’t take well the first time. Scraped more rocks out of the way, put down some top soil and compost and spread it out. Then I re- seeded and then put down these pellets that are biodegradable mulch/fertilizer that is supposed to swell up with water and keep the seeds moist and safely in their place so they don’t get washed away.
I think it’s going to work this time.
Husband spent some time splitting wood in the yard and spraying termite bug spray like crazy when he found the critters hanging out in the pile. I’m thinking that’s not good for the environment and probably not going to be good when we BURN the wood in the winter, but we don’t want those suckers snacking on our house.
I also got some stakes for my tomato plants and tied them up. I think I still need 3 more, but this is much better than it was.
I ate my first topsy turvey tomato the other day! It was a small one, but ripe and tasty. Hooray!
Tomorrow I need to remember to dig up the shrub in my Mom’s front yard that she wants to give me. I found one at lowes today and it was in bloom and really pretty. It was a pink Myrtle I think. Here is a link that looks like what she’s got. Dang – I didn’t know they got that big! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lagerstroemia
I know just where to put it.
