I’ll put a lawn in here in the spring, and by fall it’s gone to weeds. I’ll put a new lawn in in the fall, and by the next summer, it’s gone to weeds. Four times! I give up. Nice lawns are behind me... now, I’m going to give this spot a chance at being my first wildflower splotch. Last night, I sprayed this “lawn” with roundup. When it starts to turn yellow, I’ll pulverize the soil and seed it with the wildflower seeds we sell at the store. If you are interested in how to do this, check back every now and then and you’ll find pictures and updates. I’m thinking that this is what it will look like hopefully. I plan on mowing it to the ground each mid-November after the seeds have scattered, and after the birds have picked up all the seeds and nesting materials. It’s gonna be interesting to see if it’s too weedy looking for the front of my house. We’ll have to play that one by ear.
