The Challenge of turning all the RED
DIRT into a Lush GREEN (Bermuda Grass) LAWN continued.
Hubby planted grass seeds in April and set up the oscillating sprinklers to water for 10
minutes every 4 hours.
Pictures below were taken during the summer of 2012 showing the results of keeping the
areas moist.
Starting the Grass Growing Progress
First Out Door Project Completed |
Front & East Side- June 14, 2012
|
West side of Front - June 14, 2012 |
Front facing South - June 14, 2012 |
Back Yard - North East- June 14, 2012
Just a few bare spots - By Sept it was all grass!
|
Later that afternoon, on June 14th,
a Haboob (dust storm) rolled thru
|
Billy Bob is happy for all the grass |
So is Betty Sue |
Glad to say that by Aug 2012
all the dirt areas had filled in - glad to say that
the beagles are no longer tracking in dirt! |

Grass grew so well that we bought
a John Deere in July 2012 |
Hopefully our grass starting days are
over,
that is until we try to grow grass
behind the "doggy enclosure"
Oh, we're doing that now (Sept 2012)
