The home is only four years old and the grass hadn't really been established by the previous owners - we have a huge obstacle to overcome with it. The front yard already looks 100% better thanks to my hubby's tireless efforts to dethatch, overseed, weed & feed, etc etc. Now that we have that pretty much out the way a year later, Stacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08381103120658976286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7113123529932691813.post-84267575201490162682008-04-24T08:48:00.000-05:002008-04-24T08:48:00.000-05:00We are very lucky with our grass in Maine, I think...We are very lucky with our grass in Maine, I think.

We have chosen a mix of blue grass and rebel II, I don't even know what that is, but I would like to have all blue grass. Our lawn is partially shaded in the morning, then more sun in the later afternoon. That makes it hard to wait until the grass is dry to mow, I don't Frances,https://www.blogger.com/profile/03616568389165362993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7113123529932691813.post-54923331762231656692008-04-24T04:31:00.000-05:002008-04-24T04:31:00.000-05:00Happy Birthday Terri-Lynn!
