We tried to get some grass to grow a couple of months ago, but a combination of not enough water, not enough sun, too much heat and too many birds had us feeling like we had a big NOT green thumb! I mean c'mon! Anybody can grow grass! But not us. This Arizona climate is strange. I'd never heard of "winter" grass until we moved here. That's dumb! I thought, grass is grass. It grows better in the summer, but you don't RE-plant it when it gets a little cold out! Well, apparently you DO. So we did. After 2 Saturdays, and a lot more money than anyone should have to pay for DIRT, we have grass growing in our front yard (planted on the first saturday) and the pleasant thoughts that it will soon be growing in the back too! More pics (even though we might be the only ones who care) coming soon!

Our yard...
... has a 5 o'clock shadow. Even at noon! This was actually a few days ago.

Anyone can grow WEEDS, but grass takes a little work.:)
Hey how R U?
Love the grass post-very funny. I remember the first time we planted our "winter grass", I had all the same thoughts as you. Once it grows in, you will see a difference between that summer grass and the winter grass, it's so much prettier, greener-it's nicer to sit on too :)
