Gardener’s Diary

After thatching
After raking; ready for seed, fertilizer and water

Ron and I have been working since 10:30 this morning on the front lawn. It’s now almost 8 hours later, and he’s just finishing up.

We rented a power rake and while I went hunting for starter fertilizer, Ron thatched the front and side yards and the “town” grass in front of the fence.

We filled up the truck 1 1/3 times with the thatch and made two runs to the transfer station. Came back to seed, fertilize and water. We hope for rain tonight.
