Grass Rows
This morning I’m giggling to myself as I think about my newly seeded lawn. Soft, pale green shoots of new grass are showing, and they are forming very distinct rows! On closer inspection, the rows appear snake like and are not straight, it has occurred to me that they are following old paths from garden hoses.
It is obvious that when we seeded in the wind the seeds skittered along the ground and stopped at the first impediment, a garden hose! The hoses were repositioned many times during the wind, so we have an interesting pattern developing of squiggly green stripes of grass. I smile to myself and shake my head as I think, in a year from now it will all be solid green and we won’t even remember, but for now it is pretty funny.
Oh, the challenges of do-it-yourself landscaping!
