Heat wave and no truly measurable rain here since August 7.

My “lawn” is just what grows naturally with no fertilizer.

It is green.

All the “developments’ a mile or so away that get Tru-Green and mow weekly are brown.

Ha!

[lightman]

Naturalizing ping.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks., lauren, for today's Road Trip: Naval Base Kitsap, Washington.

[radu]

Howdy, Kathy.

I reckon you’ve been busy trying to get those ducks in a row for tomorrow. Why do holiday Mondays always seem to fall on pay weeks?

[radu]

Keepin’ busy is great. Keeps you from getting bored. :-)

Things are goin’ good enough here.

[Carriage Hill]

People and lawn care companies always want the “golf course look”, by mowing down to 2” or so. Grass needs to grow 5-6” in Summer, to keep the green blades as long as possible, to make chlorophyll and feed themselves during drought. When the new, white stems of short-cut blades are exposed to the sun and heat, they simply brown-off.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, lauren...have you had a quiet weekend?

Any break in the heat? We had more rain over night.

[lightman]

Yup.

Scalping is for Indians.

Great Road Trip, Lauren!
If it's cooler there, I'm all in! :)
