Thanks to all of the pictures going around, I felt I needed to do some work in my own yard ... what a pain! Back is sore from lifting bags of soil for the flower beds and top-dressing the lawn where my dog has destroyed it with his urine of mass destruction ...

anyhow - top dress, fertilize, over-seed ... forecast calls for rain all week. Not one friggin drop yet! Up at 6a to give it a soak ... gonna have to do it again this afternoon to keep the new seed wet. Dang-nab-it! Supposedly some consistent rain starting tonight ... it better. If I can't get rain when I need it, what's the benefit of living in Seattle!?!!?

Top dress? Is that metrosexual speak for "mow the lawn?" If so, I was going to "top dress" my lawn last night after dinner, but ended up doing 1.5 hours of 5th grade math homework with my son (about 20 minutes of math for someone who gets it). By then the sun was down and I was mentally beat.

math + my son = this guy --> 🐴 <-- the horse = me

I hate cutting the grass. I'd get a goat but that'd only be more sh*t to pick up.

I don't mind cutting grass either, but I'd like it a little more if I had a nice zero turn with a cupholder. Or, at the very least, a nice walk-behind mower (Exmark) with wheels to stand on (velke/jungle wheels). I will have one some day. Kinda hard to smoke (and have a drink) while pushing a mower.

In modern day America, with all the choices of beer bottles available, how could any intelligent goat eat a Miller Lite bottle and keep a straight face?

Tank tells me he enjoys cutting the grass, so I try to volunteer him to help at my parents frequently.

I pay somebody to take care of my lawn. It's cheap enough ($65 a month and he does everything, cut, edge, fertilize, etc) and I have automatic sprinklers.

When it's 100 damn degrees out... HE is out there sweating, not me.🍺

I have Zoysia grass. In 100 degrees, it doesn't grow much but still stays green.

LOL!

Sounds like you're doing a good job, kharzhak. And you're right, once you get the grass seed started you HAVE to maintain watering until it reaches maturity. Also, remember not to overcut or keep it too short (words from a wise rabi)

^^ lots of fun! I'm not a huge fan of cutting the grass, but I like how it looks when it's done.
