Lawn – Going even Greener!

I threw some lawn seed down so we would have a place to sit and look at the view from the lower level. It didn’t seem to grow at first but after about a month I needed to borrow a mower  to keep it under control.
Things really grow well here…especially the weeds! The wildflower seeds I planted in early summer have grown quickly and are looking colourful (although somewhat spindly) now in the fall – which is strange as I was told it would take a few years before they looked decent. Next year they should fill in a little more with reseeding. In terms of the small vegetable garden I planted, we really enjoyed eating the fresh peas, carrots, radishes and tomatoes. I don’t think I would try to argue that it was cost effective, but we did get amazingly fresh flavors along with satisfaction of growing our own food  – and who can put a price on that?
