I caught up with our lawn expert Tom Gonzalski today. We haven’t asked him to do a whole lot for us this year although I’ve consulted him a couple of times, and he’s always been willing to share advice.
Tom told me there’s another storm coming, not as big as the fringes of hurricane Sandy, but enough wind to take down most of the remaining leaves. He encouraged me to get as many leaves as I could off the new grass now.
I’d pretty well raked the front yard at Edgewater over the weekend, so I went over this afternoon to do the back. Lost count after 13 or so of the number of times I emptied the grass catcher, but I got it done before dark – early now that we’re back to Standard Time.
After talking over options, I finally asked Tom to schedule us in about two weeks for the last two pre-Winter treatments at Edgewater.
Ron is about 60% of the way through with the deck! It looks fantastic from the front and from the yard. I’m thrilled.
