Lawn care. Seriously! LOL

In the course of this blog, we've gone from the fantastic in dealing with the comics and movies, and we've also dealt with large scale social and political issues. Now for something a little more "down to earth". And I mean that in the literal sense. :-) hehe

Okay gang, this is the year that I tackle my lawn problems! For once in my life, I want to have a beautiful lawn that I can stretch out on during beautiful days! Here's the problem, though...

I live in an older neighborhood, which is beautiful and has lots of shade, but I have the greatest difficulty growing grass consistently all over the yard. The abundant shade is part of the problem, and the other problem is the abundant weeds. I can't tell you what kind of grass I have, nor the kinds of weeds, because I am not that in-the-know with grass and weed species. I just know grass from weeds.

I would ask the boss about this since he knows a lot about a lot of stuff, but lawn care ain't one of them! Trust me, I've seen his lawn! LOL (no offense, boss!)

The kind of grass I want is the thick, cushiony, carpety kind that I've seen by some banks and other such buildings that have meticulously manicured lawns. I want grass that I can run barefoot on! As for the weeds, weed-pulling has to rank as one of the most boring of tasks, so is there anything I can do to get rid of them besides uprooting them?

Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated. Maybe I can make this a semi-regular part of my blog to go along with comics and politics! :-D
