I need to mow either tomorrow or Friday. I hate that just as bad.

I enjoy yardwork, hate housework.

Me too! I would much rather mow the grass than vacuum the floor! Unfortunately our grass has just barely started to grow so no mowing is needed just yet.

I've already started to re-sod a bad section of my backyard with St. Augustine grass sod.

I think most of mine is still so wet, I won't be able to use the rider, so will have to walk the whole acre.

Ours was covered in snow until about 3 weeks ago!! That and the fact that our lawn is still pretty rough. We desperately need to seed it now that we've finally gotten most of the ruts, shrubs and weeds out of it.

Too much of a good thing! I would rather play basketball or something!

What kind of grass do you seed out there?

How does a kid get so messed up in the head that he wants to be so obnoxious?

It's obvious he does not have many friends in life.

Generally a mixture of tall fescue and perennial rye grass. I've heard that Kentucky Bluegrass should be thrown in too but I'm looking for something that will be extremely drought tolerant. We're on a well here and I don't plan on watering the yard throughout the summer months. Fescue and rye grass are pretty hardy.

We have to take what will grow here!! The winter we just had was a little rough on lots of stuff, grass has to be pretty aggressive to survive in our climate!
