September 2011: It LIIIIIIIIIiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiives.
Since my last look at the state of the lawn in April, things have changed.
Not radically, but progress has been made. Unfortunately, the last satellite photo from near map was in September (don’t they know my need for aerial photography of my house is IMPORTANT? More important than whatever dark deeds took their satellite away from photographing my house, bring it back I say!).
Even so, when you compare April to September you can see the better coverage and new greenness of lawn (I can certify these are NOT weeds) in areas previously more moth-eaten than grandma’s fur stole:
Compare the pair
September’s photo is not as lush as July’s, but then July did have a heap of weeds taking root and obfuscating the issue:
July: Unfortunately this lushness will disappear once someone gets their weeding moves on
Slowly but surely the lawn seed I spread over the bald patches has taken root and I have tiny new lawn areas in spots that were previously bare. If they hold out through the mega-hot that is January and February, and I manage to even out the level of the lawn through the year; no promises but I might have a lush lawn for spring next year!
