Can’t get grass to grow :(
I’m a bit disappointed because at the beginning of the summer we attempted to get some grass growing in the front of our property. Sure it’s common area, but if the landscapers are not doing anything about it then we decided to do something. First we tried that spot treatment stuff, that comes in a shake-jug. Didn’t work so well. Then we decided to go the see route. Jason (my boyfriend and owner of #97) spent a whole bunch of time prepping and raking up the area and then applying the seed. We watered it every morning and night.. and just when we start to see some results to just kinda fizzled (not literally) and disappeared. Guess we’ll try again next summer! Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated.
We also plan to do a bit more to the back (side) yard area. We looked into having a tree cut down whose roots are taking over the potential flowerbed, but it was way too pricey and plus I like the shade it provides to the house. So maybe we’ll call up the landscapers to see what they can do about minimizing the roots(?) and plant some pretty shade-loving plants for next summer.
August Site News
Back in July there was a major point-rev upgrade of the software that the site runs on and, as always, there have been several minor point-rev upgrades in its wake. This morning was one such upgrade.
Everything looks okay to me – aside from an intermittent lack of responsiveness when trying to publish when you’re using Gears. But but please let me know if you encounter any problems with the site.
