What happened to going to work? looooooooooool
I love you Meg.

hehe.. I went to work, really! for my obligitory 3.5 hours!

Can you see the dark green/light green pattern? And that the clovers all grew in a row down the light green sections?? *shakes head* I am gonna have to fire the gardener.

Meg

yep I see it. How did it happen do you know?

Meg are you sure this is not alien tire marks? <img border="0" alt="[perplexed]" title="" src="graemlins/confused.gif" /> Looks about right width apart. Outside of that I cannot tell a lie she did it.

Seriously, ummm... *I* did it. I have never tried fertilizing before, and we are nothing but weeds here. Even my grass, is just one big rhizome. UGH. Anyways.. I got one of those scott's broadcast spreaders, and the turf builder plus weed control stuff.. and well, in some spots, I got tooooo much stuff & burned the lawn, and other spots, which is NOW quite noticeable.. I missed entire strips, which are now patterned light green with clovers, while the parts I got are dark green with no clovers. So therefore.. I have to fire myself! NOT! I just thought it would be funny to share a photo of my so called lawn after I striped it.

I thought about getting some of that stuff but on a slope without a hose I figured it was hopeless so I didn't even try. But I'm sure if I had I'd be wearing stripes right along with you.
