A New Lawn

We spent the summer clearing and cultivating our new garden lot at the back of our property.  Once Fall came around, it was time to plant grass for our new lawn!  We envisioned a big yard for throwing the frisbee, playing catch with Riley and having friends over for a firepit or cornhole.  Now that the grass has come in, that’s exactly what we have!

We planted in early September and after reseeding a bit in early October, check out the transformation:

The edges are still a little patchy, but I’ll give them some TLC come Spring and hopefully they will rebound and look as good as the center section.

I love mowing down here because it’s all in straight lines! :)

Mama was here last weekend to till the garden and plant rye for the winter.  It’s all pretty now framed by green grass!

We also planted a couple of purple fountain grasses on the creekbank bed.

And Mama did some more clearing on the actual bank.  We have plans to fill this in with non-weed specimens next year! :)

So pretty, I want to play frisbee!!!  It’s really nice not to have a mud yard anymore.  Riley loves to come romp around down here (with supervision since there is no fence around it) and she can do so without getting all muddy now!  Yay puppy play zone!

So there you have it, a new yard! :)

Now back to Halloween projects!  Only 3 days til Halloween!  Eek!
