I Want to Fix My Lawn Quick

My back yard lawn is an embarrassment. I cannot keep the lawn alive and so when I was offered a Quicky I took it. Quicky is the name of a coated grass seed from Canada Green & Garden Seed Inc. Opinions are 100% my own and results certainly will vary. I started out by taking a few photographs of the back yard.

My lawn is an embarrassment.

This was after I had used an iron rake to scratch up the dirt and clean up the moss that was growing all over the place. I figured that I would try the seed on one half of the backyard because I only had one bag and I have been contemplating putting down wood chips and making a play area for the kids on the other side. No sense planting seed if I’m just going to cover it up in the future.

I got a few things at Lowe’s like a hand spreader and a sprinkler for the back yard. If I was gonna get serious about fixing the lawn I had better water it. Continue reading I Want to Fix My Lawn Quick →

A Sunflower Grows in North Attleboro
Photo-A-Day #1573

My Dad came home from the Cape today and he cleaned up the sidewalk except for this sunflower, my sister wouldn’t let him remove it. We were talking and I was trying to find something to photograph today so I could get inside and complete the video for my review of the LED Lenser P7. I think the review and the the video came out really nice. I hope the sponsor is impressed. I liked the product a lot and will be taking it on all future hikes.

Back to my Dad and the house and all that. Our house is a set of condos and my brother-in-law Erik, my sister Tara, My Dad and I are all taking turns in helping to maintain the lawn. Erik did the lawn for the 1st part of the summer, I have the second part as he is off to New Jersey for the next 6 months. That is going to be very strange for everyone. Luckily he can come back up on weekends or Tara can go down there to visit. The move is a very good thing for him and we are very proud of his accomplishments. The guy works so ever-loving hard too.

Okay, back to the house and the lawn. Well, my Dad is the one who cleans up the sidewalks and near the fence every year (don’t rip out the blackberry bush I want to try some of those oil seepage runoff blackberries, I bet they are full of nutrients one should not ingest. I might get superpowers, or something horrible. So it is a gamble. They looks so good though.)

Dad is also the one who does all the trimming of the bushes. The lawnmower is about the only power tool that Erik or I are trusted to use. That is better for everyone for now.
