Grass seed |
The morning was spent on the final reseeding of the lawn. After a few hours, the bales of straw were added to keeps the birds confused and the work was complete. Now I can sit back and wait for a while (maybe a month?) to see if all went well. Of course, there is no rest for the weary, so then the question became "What do I work on next?" My choices were as follows:
- build a raised bed for the new polt that we had dug out yesterday
- erect fence posting to surround the yard
- fix broken gates and/or build new ones
- build a gazebo (or something similar) that could be transformed into a greenhouse
I decided to focus on the gazebo-like structure since I enjoy a challenge, and because it could wind up having year-round utility. Here are some pictures capturing the spirit of today's efforts:

This is how the lawn looks after starter fertilizer, reseeding and straw |
