Watering
טו אייר ה תשסח - Monday, May 19th, 2008I was late leaving the office so Dana got the sprinklers going. By the time I got home she was just finishing. Still no sprouts. Starting to worry a bit but trying to be patient. We’ll see what happens.

טו אייר ה תשסח - Monday, May 19th, 2008Dana stopped home midday today to run the sprinklers. Today has been a warm, dry, and sunny day so the yard will need it.
Watering
טו אייר ה תשסח - Monday, May 19th, 2008Up for work at 5:30 I went out to start the sprinkler. It is supposed to be near 90 degrees again today. There is some chance of rain but I’m not banking on it. Still no sprouts visible but the old grass is looking better than ever with the new soil and all this watering. [...]

יד אייר ה תשסח - Sunday, May 18th, 2008The sun hasn’t quite set yet. Dana got the sprinkler started while I got dinner started. Corn & dogs on the grill and water on the lawn. Still Nothing sprouting, though.
Watering
יד אייר ה תשסח - Sunday, May 18th, 2008Dana came home from visiting with Kim and immediately got the sprinklers out to the front of the house. We’ve managed to stay ahead of the heat today and the ground has remained moist. We have some concern still that we might be overwatering. Guess if nothing grows that will answer the question of whether [...]
Watering
יד אייר ה תשסח - Sunday, May 18th, 2008Again it was up before seven for me. I went out to start the sprinklers and decided to try one in front and one in the back at the same time. While we’re not giving much of an attempt to making the backyard grass grow this season we do have some potted plants that we [...]

יג אייר ה תשסח - Saturday, May 17th, 2008Dana is babysitting tonight and I went to dinner with my friend April. We came home to grab some knitting to go to a coffee shop and I took advantage of the downtime to do one last watering for the day. Once again, did 15 minutes on each section of lawn. Still a bit concerned [...]
Watering
יג אייר ה תשסח - Saturday, May 17th, 2008The yard was looking a bit dry. We had our friends and neighbors from across the street (Annie and Becky, mother and daughter expert-gardeners and members of a three-generation household) over giving us some tips on what to do. They explained that part of the reason to cover the new seeds was that seeds like [...]
Watering
יג אייר ה תשסח - Saturday, May 17th, 2008Without setting an alarm clock I was up at 6:45. (What ever happened to the days when I could sleep till noon?) I threw on some clothes and went out to turn on the sprinklers. The grass was a little moist but in case that was only morning dew I ran the sprinkler again. When [...]
Watering
יב אייר ה תשסח - Friday, May 16th, 2008Dana arrived with a GreenThumb brand, Medium Duty, Flexible Spray Tube, Variable Pattern, Oscillating Sprinkler. After we figured out how to adjust it Dana hooked it up and turned it on. For some reason the water pressure wasn’t enough to cause this super-dooper-sprinkler which is supposed to be able to cover up to 4000 square feed [...]
