The yard gets mowed for the first time

I'm certain I've mentioned a few times that we've been working on the backyard quite a bit. Well the mudpit was seeded about a month ago and we've been watering it every night since then. And VOILA! We have grass that needs mowing. It's not a lot of grass (about 6 swipes with the mower) but it's thick and green!

The yard is definitely more weed free than it used to be, but there are signs that we need to work to keep on top of that. Chickweed and a few other miscreants have poked up from time to time. For now, we've got to pick 'em out by hand, but in another 2 mowings, I bought some weed & feed to do the job.






We used weed & feed on the front yard and have been AMAZED at the lack of weeds. There used to be lots of little annoying plants coming up, but no more! Good stuff.




Overall, the seeding adventure is coming to a close (which is nice) and it was successful. There's no way we'd do this ourselves on a larger area though. Soon, it'll be time to setup barbeques on the yard. Just in time for summer.
