I took some more photos on the progress of the lawns which we planted a while back. The peninsula area of the yard seems to be growing alright, although I had expected that maybe it would be further along in it’s growth phase. I just need to be patient I guess, grass will take it’s own time to sprout. The lawns current condition is certainly an improvement the moss mess that it used to be!
I took photo’s of the lawn patch on the area we dug up for the drain pipe from the gutters and then replanted. I bought some of the Scott’s PatchMaster and applied it and kept it watered and damp. It sat for a little while doing nothing and I was started to get frustrated with it thinking that the patch would never grow in and then it grew rapidly with little green shoots popping up all over the place seemingly overnight. The Patchmaster might not be such a bad product after all!
The area of the property where we filled in the big sunken spots in the ground with fresh topsoil and used the brown germinating mats over the grass seed seems to be doing okay. Again, I would like to see faster growth but I’ll just have to be patient and keep myself contained 😀
I recorded a video of one of the modified square spray sprinklers sucking water out of the lawn! Well, not really, but due to the shutter/frame rate of the camera, it looks as if things are moving backwards at points. Check out the modification at the link there, it’s semi-high tech and works great!

It is pretty amazing how green that one whole area is and I can see the lilacs and how pretty they are. I always liked how they clump together. The area with the matts down is making some definite progress too. You are doing great jobs on everything.
