This morning Sam mowed the grass (1st time using the new lawnmower). We had intentions of overseeding but ran out of fertilizer and grass seed after doing about 1/3 of the lawn. At least some of it is started before the nice rainstorm we are expecting tonight. We'll take care of the rest by the end of the weekend if at all possible. I'm proud of us for keeping up with the watering twice each day.
The pea fence was delivered so we went out after lunch to set it up. Soil was amended and moistened, weed paper was cut and laid down, and the pea fence was poked through. Next, I planted the seeds while Sam secured the fence with stakes and twine. We went through and checked all of the weed paper in the garden and tried to make sure it was moist and secure. Tonight will be the test - a nice windy rainstorm vs that paper that is supposed to be able to survive an entire season. Hoping for the best!!
So the summary of what we have planted is arugula, 5 kinds of lettuce, and peas. Patches of grass were seeded and 1/3 of the lawn was overseeded. Anxious that vacation time is running out, but excited for what may . . . . or may not . . . . .grow in our backyard.
