Four days ago, we seeded portions of our backyard with Scott's PatchMaster Seed Mix. This is the 2nd time we've used this brand. The first time, we had good results getting grass to grow in some bare spots, so we decided to use it again -- this time, to cover a much larger area.

So far, so good.

Here's why we chose Scott's Patch Master Tall Fescue Mix instead of that brand with the familiar name: Patch Perfect.

...and how people are going to utilize the old "junk" you decide to give away (for FREE) on Freecycle.

Despite the fact that it's Spring, and we might have had some really nice, warm, sunny days once in lately... I have a piece of advice for you:

DON'T PLANT YET!

Take it from me... Been there, done that.

Here's a novel concept: mowing ROCKS!

I guess sometimes you'll do whatever you can to avoid having to rake leaves...

If any of the neighbors spotted me late last night poking around our yard and playing in the flower garden... they must've thought I was crazy!

It looked as if I got a late-night urge to do some gardening.

Truth is, last night's "frost warning" sent me scurrying to protect our recent $200+ investment of flowers!
