Planting Grass

did you know that grass shouldn't be cut too short? i certainly didn't know that. and i had to learn it the hard way.

i only found out about this tiny bit of info when our grass in the front lawn died. yup. dead. brown. dried. it was definitely an ugly sight. especially since ours was the only one on our street suffering from that state.

i was really embarrassed so i pestered hubby to do something about it. either hire someone to do it or try do it himself. but hubby was feeling up to the challenge and decided to give it a try.

and so he did. he bought his gardening tools and worked on our front lawn.

first he took off all the dead grass and then aerated the soil. he then scattered the grass seeds and raked it in.

we watered the lawn twice a day for the next 7 days and on the 8th day, we could already see some seedlings.



we continued on watering until the grass thickened.



and now it looks like this -



it may not look perfect but the fact that hubby's first attempt at planting grass was a success was enough to make me feel happy.

the things we learn in canada are the things we take for granted in the philippines.
