Mowing

‍‍כג טבת ה תשל - Sunday, July 12th, 2009

The grass was looking a bit shabby so I decided to get out there for some mowing. I only mowed the front lawn but I also got the new string trimmer out and tried to use that. I followed the directions in the book to the letter and even used the oil that came with [...]

I skipped the watering yesterday morning. I’m trying to transition into watering every other day in an effort to safe water (not that I use that much water to begin with). Did the usual 20-minutes per side.

I decided to take a trip to Paulino’s to pick up some supplies. Dana had been there once last year but I had never been there. It’s an unobtrusive building in the middle of a mostly industrial area north of Denver. I walked around the store for nearly an hour before I returned to the front [...]

Didn’t have to water this morning because of the overnight rain. Did get the mowing done, however. I still haven’t used my string trimmer but I think that’ll be on my list this weekend–to do the fine trimming around the edges. Yard looks nice trimmed up like this.

Woke up early and did the morning watering. 20-minutes per side. The flowers look like they are flourishing. The tiger-eye is opening up like the picture on the box of plant food and the other flowers have big bright bids starting to open.

Did the morning watering just after waking up this morning. It didn’t rain yesterday and the rain the day before wasn’t that significant. 20 minutes per side.

When I got up this morning I did the morning watering. When I first turned on the hose the sprinkler didn’t oscillate like it should. I walked over and the mechanism that normally causes it to move was disconnected. It may be nearing it’s end. Ug. It also looks like we need taller stakes for [...]
