Yard Update

The van is still clean... shocking! The yard still looks the same. But we have a plan! Next week, we will begin operation overseed. Unfortunately our yard is at least 60% bermuda, 20% fescue and about 20% bare dirt spots. With all of that bermuda that continues to spread, it makes no sense whatsoever to try to kill it all off and plant fescue. Since the bermuda has been spreading each year, dh and I decided we are just going to work with what we have. And ya know... that sounds just like us. We are constantly utilizing things we have, or re-finishing things to give them a new life. We both don't want to be slaves to yard work each year either, so hopefully this will also be low maintenance.

While I really don't care a whole lot for bermuda grass... it is hearty for when the kids play, and it does tolerate our southern heat well. When it goes dormant in the winter, we just may overseed with a rye grass, like they do on golf courses, so that we can have somewhat green grass all year. :-)

So, that's the plan for next week sometime. Lots of overseeding and filling in bare spots with bermuda seeds. Hopefully it will take well!
